Description — Panasonic DMC-TZ70
The Panasonic LUMIX TZ70 is a compact point-and-shoot camera centered on a 1/2.3-inch, 12MP sensor producing stills at up to 4000x3000 pixels. Shooters can frame shots through either the 3-inch, 920,000-dot LCD or the built-in electronic viewfinder — a relatively rare feature at this camera size — which runs at 1,160,000 dots and a 60Hz refresh rate. For video, the TZ70 captures 1080p footage at 30fps, 25fps, or 24fps.
Still photography benefits from a 10fps burst mode and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to minimize motion blur. The ISO range runs from 100 to 6400, and color profiles for stills include Standard, Vivid, and Natural. Built-in Wi-Fi enables wireless image transfer, while storage is handled by SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. The body weighs just 243g and measures 110.7 x 64.3 x 34.4mm, with a Lithium-Ion battery rated at approximately 300 shots per charge.
