Review on Panasonic DMC FZ70 Digital Optical Stabilized by Nakaishi Kiyoshi ᠌

I had a Lumix TZ8, I used it for about 10 years. I took this one as a replacement. Zoom wow! In the TZ8, it was always a compromise between a good zoom and a blurry frame. In this case, even at maximum zoom, the stabilization does not fail, the pictures are clear. Shot in the sun, in rainy weather, indoors, the quality is good. Good autofocus. You can focus "show finger" on the touch screen. Good macro photography. It shoots very well against the light, which the TZ 8 did not do. Many interesting modes, a lot of manual settings. I haven't figured out how to shoot at night. Fireworks in the distance behind the fence turned out. Convenient, fits well in the hand, compact, not heavy. Conceptual control. You can display the buttons that you often use on the screen. There is a viewfinder, convenient! Next to it is a wheel with which you adjust to your vision. Nearby is a sensor that determines that your eye is nearby, and the display turns off, and the viewfinder turns on (this function can be turned off). You can control the zoom with your hands, like on film cameras. I didn’t like it, because. I use this twister all the time. Eats a lot of energy (which is expected). On a single charge, you get up to 400 frames without a flash. On the TZ8, I could shoot 40 frames without a flash on a flashing battery, but on this unit I got only two. The battery can only be charged inside the device. You need to wait 25 minutes for the camera to at least turn on. But you won’t be able to take pictures and charge at the same time: charging takes place only in the off state. Shoots great video. There is a separate button for this. It is possible to shoot video and photo at the same time. Personally, I had no problems with a 16 gig SD flash drive bought more than 10 years ago: everything is written to it and everything is read from it. Summary: the camera is wonderful, it shoots perfectly, its money is worth it, I am satisfied with the purchase, I recommend it. A worthy device for non-professionals, as well as for those who care about dimensions. The price/quality/size ratio is perfect.
