It aint all about pixels, the more pixels pushed into a small sensor the more noise.

The three main things are...
- much faster lens, which means better results in low light and better image quality.
- larger sensor, meaning pixels less crowded (which causes "noise" in low light situations).
- more manual functionality, meaning you can adjust settings to get the best of the situation.
This camera will deliver better image quality than the TZ range. However, for most people the difference in quality is not significant, so the longer zoom becomes a more significant advantage.

Good price, this or the TZ70?

I've been looking at them for my son. You'd be buying the TZ70 for the zoom, but otherwise not a lot of difference. This is cheaper, but not a lot when you take into account the £40 cashback.

This is a more 'serious' camera with full manual control. The TZ has a much bigger zoom.
Both good but depends on your needs.
Not sure what price this was at launch in 2013 but assume it's on runout now as plenty of places discounting it, eg £154 at Argos.
as far as I can see the TZ10 is at least £50 more expensive than this one including cashback or am I looking in the wrong place?

You're right, it's £75 more at John Lewis.

:confused: TWELVE megapixels???? My 3 year old smartphone tucked away in the back of the drawer has that!

What's so good about this camera?
Not doubting the deal, just curious. Must have one hell of a lens / sensor going for it, because you can pay less for 35X optical zoom at 20odd megapixels

Bright lens on this one. Great performance in low-light like indoors-even without flash. Full manual control.

Quality over quantity: I suspect it isn't the right camera for you.
