Expert review by : TrustedReviews (trustedreviews.com)
The ‘travel zoom compact' market is one of the most popular around thanks to the combination of a long focal range and an advanced specification, all in a body which is both lightweight and portable.
Expert review by : Phil Hall Amy Davies (techradar.com)
One of the best travel zoom cameras out there
30x optical zoom range ; Decent battery life ; Built-in EVF ; Wi-Fi and NFC ; Manual control
No touchscreen control ; Image smoothing at high ISOs ; No 4K video capture ; Can't use some features with raw shooting
The huge zoom range makes this a very versatile travel camera, while image quality doesn't disappoint. Now at an even more tempting price.

There are a growing number of pocketable do-it-all compact cameras on the market vying for attention, with the Panasonic Lumix TZ70 aiming to be cream of the crop. This pocketable travel compact squeezes an electronic viewfinder and 30x optical zoom...
30x zoom in pocketable body, excellent image stabilisation, mode dial and lens control ring for added functionality, speedy autofocus, Wi-Fi performance boost
No touchscreen or tilt-angle mechanism, can opt for excessively slow shutter speeds, 30x zoom pushes its luck at full extension, viewfinder is small scale
The Panasonic Lumix TZ70 is an echo of the earlier TZ60 model, reinforcing its position as the compact camera with built-in viewfinder to beat, thanks to a significant bump in the finder panel's resolution. It's still not quite perfect, though, as we...

As we roll into 2015, Panasonic is first out of the camera announcement gates with the unveiling of its latest travel zoom, the Lumix TZ70, which is bursting
Expert review by (which.co.uk)
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ70 is a premium travel zoom camera, packing a 12Mp sensor and a versatile 30x Leica-branded lens into a well-built compact body. Strangely, the 2015 model has fewer megapixels in its sensor than its predecessor the DMC-TZ60,...

The Panasonic Lumix TZ70 offers a 30x optical zoom lens, built-in Wi-Fi, a high-resolution electronic viewfinder as well as a lower resolution 12.1 megapixel sensor. Say what? Yes, a lower resolution sensor.
Lots of optical zoom in a compact body ; Ideal for beginners and advanced photographers ; Good resolution screen and LVF ; LVF now features eye-detection ; Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC ; Lots of shooting modes ; Metal body with ample rubber grip ; Excellent...
Some purple fringing ; No touch screen
There aren't many pocketable compact cameras that have both a 30x optical zoom lens, and an electronic viewfinder, or LVF as Panasonic call it. The TZ70 has all the features you'd want from a travel camera and doesn't disappoint in terms of its image...

We go hands-on with the new Panasonic Lumix TZ70 - the travel zoom designed for improved image quality.
Expert review by : Elias Plastiras (goodgearguide.com.au)
A versatile camera with a massive zoom in a handy size that can be taken anywhere
Pocket-sized camera with a 30x optical zoom ; Built-in EVF ; Capable auto mode
Chromatic abberation can be noticeable ; EVF sensor too sensitive ; Function buttons could offer more shortcut choices
Expert review by : Jim Fisher (pcmag.com)
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 is a pocket-friendly camera with a 30x zoom lens, Raw shooting support, and an EVF. It costs a little bit more than competing models, but still manages to earn Editors' Choice honors.
Expert review by : Michael Palmer (steves-digicams.com)
Panasonic's new ZS-series flagship, the DMC-ZS50, is a premium compact camera with a 12.1MP High Sensitivity MOS image sensor and 30x optical zoom lens. If you need further reach, 60x Digital Zoom is available too (editor's note: but reduces overall...
