Very, very Poor quality in Low light conditions
|Posted .Pros: *Great quality in exteriors *Beautiful natural colors *Great for close & small objects photos *A lot of features & effects *Video 4K *Touch screen & sturdy construction *The zoom is good (but not great) Cons: *Very, very POOR video & photos in low light conditions. Too many fake reviews online by youtubers that received this product for free. *A little bit difficult for amateurs users

Lots of Features, Amazing Zoom
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendThis is the 4th or 5th Panasonic ZS series camera I've bought. Although the ZS70 is not the latest one, it has a 30x zoom, which is a feature I wanted in my point-and-shoot. I'm a little more serious at photography than the average point-and-shooter, I think, but I wanted the long zoom and realize I've sacrificed some of the picture quality to be had in the newest ZS100. That said, ZS70 still has a lot of features and all of my Panasonics have given me good quality photos. The LCD on this one has a lot more capabilities than my last ZS50. Although the LCD screen swings up (to facilitate selfies), I wish it would swing down. I'm not likely to take very many selfies, but it would have been great to be able to tilt the screen down and hold the camera over my head. That is a missed opportunity for Panasonic, in my book. If you want amazing zoom in a pretty-close-to-pocket-sized camera, this is the one for you. If you want amazing picture quality, you might want to look to the ZS100, which has a 1 sensor (compared to the ZS70's 1/2.3 sensor) even though both cameras are rated at 20 megapixels.

Good camera, but bigger than I wanted
|Posted .This camera has great features, although I'll admit that the biggest pro over my old camera is the video. That said, I was in the market for a higher-end point-and-shoot and decided upon this. I wanted a viewfinder so I didn't have to always look at the screen, so thought the extra money on this camera was well spent. That all said, the camera is a bit thicker than I'd like. I find myself using my cell phone for photography more and more because I just don't want to carry the bulk of a camera. I was hoping this was a little thinner, a little lighter. That's really the only reason I took a star off, other than wondering when they will next make big leaps in the quality of the photo (maybe we've plateaued) so I can feel justified in replacing my old camera that really is just as good except for the video.

I love this camera
|Posted .No, I would not recommend this to a friendIt saves in RAW, and that's what I wanted. Wish it had a faster lens, bt the reach in optical is nice. The video is very nice with different ways of recording the sound. I do say this is NOT a beginner camera, the auto stuff is so-so, the ability to manipulate the manual settings makes this work...but I really wanted it to work. Managing the settings takes quite a bit of getting used too, it's not really intuitive. And there are still a lot of functions I know I'm not using. This is for someone what knows cameras and can read the book or sit for long periods of time and figure out all the settings.

Best compact camera I've owned to date!
Posted .I would recommend this to a friendAmazing camera! For a 1/2.3 sensor, it does remarkably well in low light. Compared to the highly rated Lumix FZ300, this compact superzoom has more features in a significantly more compact design. The high resolution, numerous filters, time delays, flash syncs and other custom settings beat the majority of bridge cameras on the market. The aperture ring, viewfinder and tilting touch screen were what attracted me to this camera in the first place, but Panasonic's remote image app was the icing on the cake. The app works flawlessly, allowing you to control virtually any camera & video setting from your phone. While this is a compact camera, it is a brick of a compact. You won't find yourself tucking this in the pocket of your jeans comfortably. With the battery installed, it comes in at 300 grams (10.58 oz). It's a chunky thickness of 4.1", 4.3" wide and 2.75" tall. The camera comes with a battery, a charging cord (and a short one at that) and the manual. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of a wall charger. Charging the camera with the battery installed is an accident waiting to happen. The cord is too short for it to rest comfortably anywhere out of the way. I went ahead and ordered a wall charger and two extra batteries to make life easier. Other than that, I have no complaints. Great design, great features, awesome camera! I waited months for this to release and it was worth every penny!

Best compact
|Posted .There are very compact cameras with a view finder. The other one isa sony model but the Viewfinder in Sony is flimsy. Very good features. Some features are tricky : if you set the shutter to eshtr then you cannot turn on flash etc. But the zoom level and compactness is impressive for the quality we get.

GREAT CAMERA--BEAUTIFUL PICTURES
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI LOVE this camera! It takes beautiful photos. I use automatic settings for the most part but there are many ways to adjust the settings for those who prefer more control over their photos. I take photos of items for online sales and this camera takes the clearest, sharpest photos with true colors. It has a Leica lens, one of the best, in my opinion. I can't say enough about it.

An amazing camera that didn't break the bank
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendMy wife is been doing a lot of research on a click and shoot type of camera. She knows I complain about liking my big single lens reflex around with multiple lenses she didn't want that. Several friends told us that they like this brand of camera and she has to agree that it's an outstanding choice

Q: QuestionHello! I bought this camera to use for selfies. I am used to using my phone to take pictures where the images are flipped. Is there a way to flip the screen on this camera so it the photos are mirrored?
Asked by Jimmy.
- A:Answer I'm not sure I understand your question, exactly, but I'll tell what I know about taking selfies with this camera (which I haven't done). The LED view screen on the back can be flipped up so you can point the camera at yourself and see what the camera sees, allowing you to frame your selfie and be sure it's in focus. I don't know if that helps, but I hope so.
