Pros: Build quality, functionality, unparalleled quality/price ratio, small 1" sensor in ratio with 12 mpxl, compactness and lightness, possibility of setting shooting in scene mode.

Cons: Maybe... maybe... but just to want to find the needle in the haystack and be picky, the viewfinder too small and until you become familiar, given its compactness, you risk inadvertently pressing a few buttons on the back during the shot ... but all this is irrelevant as I have already said, after a little familiarity.

Opinion: My watchword in the choice of purchase was: "compactness for daily portability in your pocket and spend very little." My lens was maximum portability everywhere every single day, still having in my hands something clearly superior to a mobile phone. After a month of careful selection and studies, the choice fell on this gem, found new in the physical store at the price of € 240.00 (yes I know it was an unsold leftover because out of production, but precisely this could not be a better opportunity!) My need was to have a third body for when REFLEX and mirrorless remain at home, but never miss the moment that precisely with the mobile you could never equate. I WANTED the viewfinder, the ability to work completely in manual, the ability to shoot in monochrome mode and the compactness as much as possible while maintaining the photographic quality that a mobile phone cannot give you. Now after a month of intense daily use, tests and comparisons I would like to draw two conclusions about this gem! Many demand a lot of noise in the scarcity of light... ok, at night it is definitely not the best means with which to shoot, but I can guarantee you that during the golden hour, if you know how to manage the shadows and dark areas well, they will still be excellent files printable in A4 without any minimum noise (test carried out in practice personally). It has a great white balance automatically. The starting focal length 24mm in equivalence is well usable up to 600mm in optimal light conditions and without haze. I used it mainly for the B & W in monochrome scene mode ... a delicacy in the automatic management of whites and blacks, not always very manageable files in post production, but if you make a good starting shot, there are no problems. Also the sepia scene mode is very pleasant if you love the genre. Its "only" 12mpxl in a small 1" sensor (1cmX1cm) are more than enough for excellent sharp prints of at least 20x30. In short, I highly recommend the purchase of the new if you can find it as a leftover store. Do not think that the later models are better, on the contrary... with small sensor, often better a few pxl less ...

Pros: Zoom, AF macro, EVF, build quality, RAW format.

Cons: High ISO noise, limited aperture range, battery life.

Opinion: This compact was my first photographic purchase. I chose it for the possibility of shooting in manual, for the focal extension extending from wide angle to supertele, for the presence of the EVF and for the RAW format. The build quality is excellent and in the silver/black color has that vintage air that makes it almost flashy. Around the lens there is a pleasantly braking comfortable metal ring that performs several functions according to the mode chosen. There is manual focus with peaking and depth of field indication. Remarkable macro mode since the minimum focusing distance is only 3cm with focal lengths from 24 to 50mm equivalent. The zoom is just amazing. A sensor so small gives great satisfaction in the focal extension but also brings with it big disadvantages. As soon as the sunlight falls you meet the first limits as increasing the ISO the noise becomes soon unacceptable. Similarly you can't expect the bokeh effect: the only way to get a nice blurry one is to play with the focus distance and with the zoom. The battery life is poor but for a few tens of euros you can buy an extra battery and get rid of the anxiety. Avoid the originals because they are too expensive (I use the Chili Power and they are fine). I put aside this camera to switch to a reflex but weight and clutter make me sometimes prefer the small TZ70.

Pros: Small Robust, great photographic quality.

Cons: The Flash position, the touch trigger button.

Opinion: It's a really small and handy pocket machine, its 12Mpx I think (considering the size of the sensor) is the optimal solution to keep the noise acceptable, RAW takes very nice photos, Jpg plasticous is very obvious as all the machines Economic band (I would abolish the jpg or at least I would not use it, it made sense when the memories were measured in mega) .rn

Pros: Leica lens, RAW, 30x optical zoom, good price, 80 ISO, excellent video.

Cons: Nifty little commands, battery life in intensive use of the zoom.

Opinion: Having a Nikon D7000 wanted a compact in your pocket and always be able to use without bulk. First of all an observation: it is a compact camera, those who "claim" performance by using SLR that, if put in his breast pocket and always keep with him. if he can. RNLA ability to shoot in RAW is very good, the files are well workable and give a good recovery of light and shadow. High ISO noise greatly increases with decreasing light. Also here you have to understand what you want, useless or absurd claim crop enlargements, but it allows us to take pictures and have memories. 80 ISO instead give us clear images without many artifacts. The burst is compact even with fast cards. The iA choice selector (full auto) is very good, the camera "understands" the situation is changing very quickly adjusts to the subject often settings without creating delays and giving 99% good pictures. The controls are a bit 'small, but space is what it is. However, there are two buttons personalizzabili very useful and the trash button (delete) allows you to enter the fast and quickly change settings menu. It has an aperture ring for diaphragms (unfortunately only up to f / 8) and other options. All it can a lot and, even for those who customize photographer manually, has a wide selection. The slats that cover the lens when closed are a bit 'delicate and touching open. rnConcludendo I repeat that it is a compact but that good satisfaction for that price (currently € 300.00 on Amazon). The choice of the 12-megapixel, in my opinion, made it possible to not exacerbate the sensor and get more clean files and a little 'less noise. The buy back without a doubt.

Pros: Electronic viewfinder LVF, Leica lens, 30x optical zoom, light and compact, price in line

Cons: Battery life, commands small and inconspicuous

Opinion: Among the high-end compacts it fits very well for performance that truly comprehensive approach to the economic mirrorles or SLR. Having owned other Lumix, Panasonic would say that in this segment has created a niche well stocked. As for the use, it is implied that the "compact camera" covering a range of users who do not believe in phones and that on many occasions do not want to load himself with heavy photographic kits from trasportare.rnDifatti the T70 being small and light, located in space all budgets and makes up well to a photographic use intensive.
