Can this be used with the new Panasonic Lumix FZ70? (the one with a 60x optical zoom and 16.1 mp)

I just received this battery for my new FZ70 and it DOES NOT WORK. Does not fit into the camera and does not fit into the charger. It is close, but not right. I am returning.

I have no experience with the FZ70. I would ask Panasonic directly or call a camera store.

You need to find a 52mm to 55mm adapter (Lumix brand is DMW-LA5) to use this on your FZ150. If you can't find the Lumix brand, shop around for one that is well made, preferably made of metal, not plastic. Just make sure you don't over tighten it on either the teleconverter lens, or on your camera lens.

The lens does not come with an adapter. The lens can be used with several Panasonic cameras. For some, like my Lumix FZ200, you do need the adapter. I actually like the fact that it doesn't connect directly to my zoom lens (which moves in and out within the adapter tube. This reduces load on the zoom mechanism. Their is a specific adapter made by Panasonic, and several 3rd party adapters. As long as the threads are correct, any should work. But beware about where you buy the lens itself. I first bought from a 3rd party dealer in New York (via Amazon), who called the next morning to tell me it was out of stock, but that they had a "much better" teleconverter for the same price. What I got was a cheap piece of crap made by Vivitar. After some threats, I got my money back, and got the real Panasonic lens. I've been quite happy with it. You do have to be more careful about focusing and framing the shot (best used in very stable conditions), but the results are quite good.

I own the FZ200 - it does NOT work with the FZ200. The end that connects to the camera is a different physical size so this tube will not connect. Panasonic makes a DMW-LA7 that fits the FZ200.

Yea, fs700 is super 35mm, so the field of view won't be the same as a full frame sensor but the lenses will work.

I had a Panasonic Lumix FZ150 until recently and I used the DMW-LA5 lens adapter on it. The end that attaches to the camera is 52mm (which is the filter size of the FZ150). The other end of the adapter is 55mm and it accepts 55mm filters. The adapter is needed if you want to use a Panasonic Lumix Close Up Lens DMW-LC55 (which is 55mm).

Well it works with my fz150 150 so I suspect it would work with the FZ70 as well.

Yes it will. I have a Panasonic FZ200 and its more then enough for this camera.

My camera is a FZ150 so I'm not sure your camera has the same connectors. The the remote connects under a rubber door just in front the strap. Just open the rubber door and push the Panasonic connector over the little connector. Be sure it is connected all the way into the connector. It should than work.

No, because this microphone has 3.5mm mini-jack output and the lumix fz200 is 2.5mm jack output, so they wouldn't be compatible.

Cant really answer this as I have not seen images from FZ70. I did read reviews and to my recall the image quality was not up to snuff. However, it all depends on how you will use it. I have been getting great quality photos for the X-S1. Here is a link to my images (mainly from X-S1) http://www.flickr.com/photos/110260652@N04/ . I did look at the FZ 200 which again has the smaller zoom, but is much higher rated for image quality.

I have the Panasonic FZ 150. It has a place to plug the Panasonic CMW-RSL1 on the left side of the camera. This connector is not built on the The Panasonic DMW-RSL1 needs to be used on a camera with a plug place to connect the it with the cord. My camera is FZi50 to use this.

Does the DMC-FZ70 have a plug in for a remote? If yes, then it should work. I have a GH2 and a DMC-L1 (7-8 yrs old) and a Leica Digilux 2 (older still) and it works great with them.

I took a look at the lumix camera to me it looks like the lens will be too big for the opening. I don't think you would be able to use your zoom function. Hope this helps you out.

If you mean this one Panasonic Lumix SZ1 16.1 MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom (Blue) then yes. I bought both at the same time and the battery fit.

Yes, but you will have to zoom at 15mm or 16mm, Why not take the full frame version, 16-28

The camera fits my FZ200n but the case is pretty chunky. Perhaps you can compare the dims of the fz70 to the 200. It is nice, but could be more fitted to that camera. I went from a Nikon J1 which is much smaller than the panasonic, but the nikon case fits like a glove.
