Panasonic LUMIX DC-ZS70K, 20.3 Megapixel, 4K Digital Camera, Touch Enabled 3-Inch 180 Degree Flip-front Display, 30X LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR Lens, WiFi (Black)

I'm going to give a review based on what I expected the camera to do, and there are a couple of reasons why I think it's a hands-down camera and who should use this kind of compact camera. It may not be for everybody, but I think I like it more than any other compact camera. I'm not going to complain that there are a limited number of features and they are not on par with features that you'd normally get on any high-end DSLR or mirrorless camera. I think it's just enough for me and those who have recently ventured into the photography world. I've been using this point-and-shoot camera for about a month and a half and these are my thoughts on it.⁣ ⁣ An intuitive UI and a foolproof system⁣ ⁣ When I first bought it, I had a lot of things going on in my mind. How the heck should I utilize this fancy kind of camera? Until it landed on my doorstep, I did a little unboxing and tested it out right off the bat without looking at the manuals. Toggling all the settings and features is a lot easier than I thought it would be. It all goes down to how patient you are with all the settings set to your liking. A very responsive flip-out screen makes everything seamless in focusing on subjects and tweaking exposure and ISO. You don't have to worry about the settings you use even after turning it off because it'll go back to the previous features and settings you set to. ⁣ ⁣ Portability⁣ ⁣ The purported weight of 11.36 oz or 322 g seems like a little burden to carry around in your pocket or fanny pack because it's very lightweight without a case on. I don't have to carry a huge backpack on my shoulder and whenever I have something to capture, I just take it out and shoot right away. Easy peasy!⁣ ⁣ Who is qualified to use this camera?⁣ ⁣ I'd say most of the beginners who are on a budget are looking for the perfect camera to start off with and not for claustrophobes. ⁣ ⁣ Focus accuracy and image quality⁣ ⁣ The focus in the AF mode is quite spot on when there is sufficient light on the subject that you're going to capture. If not, it may be out of focus for a moment, and it'll refocus again. The AF Macro and the Macro Zoom are incredibly impressive when taking pictures of bugs and flowers with sharp details around them, and the focal point where the light enters through the lens is not too terrible when shooting in a low-light condition with minimal blemishes and grainy elements. Equipped with a 20.3MP, the output from this camera is insanely good under some circumstances where there's enough lighting. If you're into those kinds of portrait shots, this camera may not be good for you as the maximum F-Stop is only set at 3.3, but you can put a fake depth of field in the background using an advanced software called Luminar AI. ⁣ ⁣ All in all, it's an impeccable camera for avid photographers with a reasonable price tag compared to other point-and-shoot camera brands and this one is affordable. Ease of use, portability, and great features are what I'm looking for when buying a low-budget one, and this camera does cut it and I highly recommend it!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣

I have a ZS40, which I love. I sit a a bay window on my computer that looks out over my garden. I see lots of birds and use the camera to take shats using most of the time the full magnification. A couple of things don't function. The cover for the battery and SD card broke. It a really stupid design. I use some electrical tape. More critical the zoom can be sluggish and does not also extend quickly. It may just need cleaning. Its very light and small. The replacement is significantly larger and heavier. However, it has improved performance probably from the high resolution of the chip. What surprised my is that the improved screen makes it much easier to use the tiny images I am trying to find. Typically with my old camera I have to zoom in on a tiny bird from knit sat the shrub on which the bird is now perched. I can easily see the bird on the screen even before I magnify. The is very helpful when the bird is not in an easily identifiable larger object. The cover is now much better designed but ironically the cover on the side to the socket, which had an excellent design now has a staid design. It has a hinge only at the Botton of the "door", which means it twists when you swing it open. When you swing it back it remains twisted so you have to fiddle with it to get it closed. Hard to understand why they just did not use the old design. It covers the two sockets one for charging and the other an HDMI.

I used this camera for a short trip, so this review covers some initial thoughts. I soon will be using it for a long trip and may update. The camera is very convenient, being much more lightweight than my normal camera, which is much bigger and so much heavier. It takes excellent pictures that compare favorably with my more expensive camera. The biggest difference is in low-light situations, where the photos from this camera aren’t as good, not terrible, just somewhat lacking. This camera is very small. I found that it was such a hassle to change the tiny settings that after a while, I simply used it as a point-and-shoot. The pictures came out quite good, just the same. There is no cover over the back view screen. It can get quite dirty. I do not use the screen to take pictures, preferring the eye view, and that is a good thing. There is no lens cap. When the power is on, the lens is exposed. I was in the Middle East a while ago where we had sand storms (mild to heavy) for days, and this camera lens would have been blasted with sand. The camera does not come with a separate battery charger. You must either charge the battery by plugging the camera in with the USB cable or buy a separate charger. I definitely recommend buying a separate charger and extra batteries. All in all, a nice travel point-and-shoot camera, with a very good lens.

A sharp Leica lens & 20.1 MP gives very sharp images & ability to crop quite strongly. As with many zoom lenses, the image is very slightly less sharp at maximum zoom, but barely noticeable. Images are sharp right into the corners, even in Panarama format. The flip up view finder makes selfies & blogging super easy. This was a replacement for my previous travel camera, the very similar ZS-70, which had been around the world with me & took 500,000+ images along the way, speaking to how well built these Lumix cameras are. Just like any retractable lens pocket camera, it is best carried in a dust resistant case of some sort to keep the lens as clean as possible internally. So small & unassuming, it does not attach attention in poorer areas of the world, so plenty of relaxed candid “people” pictures.

El servicio al cliente es excelente, te contestan al instante, son muy amables y los productos son de excelente calidad, además de que llega súper protegidos.

A very nice camera, 30 zoom, a few cameras are competition.

It's hard to believe so many DSLR features are packed into this tiny brick that you can put in your back pocket. The zoom capability is incredible. And the ability to set manual mode or aperture etc is wonderful. The learning curve has been steep. I've turned on burst mode twice without meaning to, and finding out how to turn it off was perplexing. The ZS70 is sometimes intuitive, but other times doing what you want seems to require membership in some sort of secret society. And though you can take pictures at f3.5 or f4.0 etc, you don't get the same quality as a DSLR, meaning the background is only slightly blurred and the subject less prominent that you'd get in a DSLR. I guess that's just a limitation of the small format. I have called Panasonic once. Compared to Apple or Amazon or other companies with excellent customer support, Panasonic was only so-so.
