Lumix TZ70 / ZS50 may have become the classiest pocket super-zoom to date, but its predecessor(s) still remain compelling alternatives, especially if you value having built-in GPS hardware. Panasonic has to tread carefully going forward with an annual product cycle and its strategy of giveth and taketh away. Over two generations we've lost the touch-screen and now the GPS receiver / landmark database, leaving the built-in viewfinder as the only key differentiator with rivals. Again it's fortuitous it's so useful, and I'd definitely be happy to pay extra for it, but how long will it be unique in the market?
