Is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 worth buying used?

What owners like
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 works best when you want zoom-first daylight travel, casual events, and far-away subjects without carrying an interchangeable-lens kit rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm) CMOS and 20-1200 mm equivalent, F2.8-5.9 are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
What to compare
Compare it with Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ60 (Lumix DMC-FZ62), Canon PowerShot SX280 HS, Fujifilm FinePix S8400W to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
