I've owned several great cameras, but am down to Canons and Panasonic Lumix ones now. I have the greatest control over my pictures with the Canon that cost 3 times as much, but the Lumix FZ70 does some things with light and with subjects that please me greatly. And now that I am familiar with how to access most of my options, I find myself calling on the Lumix more than any other. I had to take some time with it because getting just the right setting is slightly different, but now time isn't a concern. I'm finding that the pictures I get in low light, dusk, and from a distance are better. And the FZ70 tends to focus a scene noticeably faster. Using manual settings only, I'd choose the Canon for a complex shot. Please remember I'm comparing the FZ70 to a much more expensive camera, and I find the FZ70 gets the edge on zoom, zoom smoothness, image stabilization, and focus time, and creative color options. It's the most complete and best overall camera I've ever used for its cost. To get one better, I'd expect to pay about double. I got mine slightly used, and it works perfectly. Would recommend it to anyone.Read full review

The camera looks really nice, but it won’t focus after it gets to 8 mp it’s suppose to go to 60 so it’s not a good camera something isn’t right with the focus it’s as if it has been dropped or something has gotten messed up and didn’t happen through shipping it was packed very nice in the box, it was before I bought it, ya I’m not happy with it, going to have someone else look at it before i send it back

I especially like the 60x zoom and the picture quality of this camera. These are the pros and cons that stood out to me. Pros: Quick turn on time, about 1 second. Quick shutter button response. Stable anti shake, real nice when zoomed all the way in. It has a view finder and a hot shoe. It can take raw pictures. It takes pictures in low light very well. It can take panoramas as well. Cons: When taking a video, you can hear the anti shake in the audio, yes, anti shake can be tuned off. It can't do full HD video at 60 fps. It can't do very long exposers, it can only do up to 1 minute exposures in scene mode with scene mode set to "starry sky", in that mode it won't let you change the iso which is set at 100. Also with the camera in "S" or "M" mode the highest exposure is 8 seconds, it will only let you do 8 seconds if the iso is 400 or less, iso 800 the max exposure is 4 seconds, iso 1600 max exposure is 2 seconds, iso 3200 max exposure is 1 second. Over all I'm very happy with the this camera, I would definitely buy it again if I didn't have one.Read full review

I bought this camera to have a single, simple camera with telephoto ability that I could take with me anywhere in case I came across something I wanted to shoot. I have been taking photos of flowers, fall leaves and other things in my yard. I am very pleased with the quality of the photos, including close-ups of flowers and also photos of planes coming in for landing (our house is in the flight path of the local airport). I would recommend this camera to any and all. For the price, it produces great photos competitive with many DSLR or mirror-less cameras. It is a great camera to have around so that anything you are going out to do, you can bring it along and know that all your have to do is turn it on to get great photos.

Purchased this camera to replace one of the same model. The other camera, about 3 years old, suddenly gave a blue cast to all images. Had all accessories and the other camera had been a pleasure to use and provided great photos. The 60X zoom will fill the frame with a full moon. The camera purchased included all the accessories pictured and all in like new condition. The camera works fine. A qoute I got online for repairing the older camera was $180, about what I paid for replacement camera. Another online repair service requires you to ship camera to them for an estimate. I'm not about to fall for that scam! I hope I can locate a reputable repair service and get the older camera repaired. The seller shipped the camera immediately upon receiving the order and payment and packaged it very well.Read full review
