Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ70: See and Hear What You’ve Been Missing Life is more than a single moment captured in time. Panasonic understands that and delivers advanced multimedia technology in the LUMIX DMC-FZ70. Bring the action in super close with a 60X optical zoom. Discover the optical performance of the DMC-FZ70 with an amaz-ing 20mm wide-angle to 1200mm (60X) long zoom, making it a category class leader*. Video and photos appear bright in low-lit conditions with the F2.8-5.9 lens. Combined with optical image stabilization, both long zoom photos and videos are sharp and blur free. Experience Full 1080/60i HD Panasonic Video recording with auto focus from the DMC-FZ70. Achieve crystal clear audio utilizing a unique microphone that eliminates ambient noise and wind sound with the stunning clarity of Dolby® Digital. This amazing microphone even zooms with the camera to precisely zero in on the audio coming from your subject.

Super Long Zoom Lens From 20mm Ultra Wide-Angle To 60x Optical Zoom At 60X optical zoom (20mm-1200mm), the DMC-FZ70 lens is the widest and longest zoom in its class*. Discover stunning versatility from ultra-wide 20mm to an incredible 1200mm range making it possible to capture dynamic landscapes, wildlife, and almost any scene when traveling. At 20mm the lens captures nearly 140% wider angle of view compared with a 24mm lens. Capture a little extra zoom with Intelligent Resolution technology. The DMC-FZ70 can extend the zoom ratio up to 120X equivalent while maintaining superior picture quality. An optional optical lens adapter can even further extend the FZ70 range.

So new it’s still a pre-order from Amazon. Looks like you’ll be able to purchase it for around $400 street price. Click here for more info >http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/DMC-FZ70K
