Highlights
The TZ70 is considered an excellent "go-anywhere" travel camera. Panasonic opted for a lower resolution sensor with larger pixels compared to the previous model, resulting in improved low-light performance and reduced image noise. The addition of an electronic viewfinder is a key feature that appeals to many photographers who prefer composing shots without using the main LCD screen.
