Dedicated cameras are dying. There hasn't been a new "rugged" camera in 6 years (unless you count altering the readout software for higher fps video and case color). Standard P&S are going the same way since phones are taking most of their market share. The only real advancements are going into large sensor ILCs at the $1000+ range and smaller and smaller action cams with w/a lenses. Nothing else makes money anymore.

Close to a SLR performance
I'm definitely frustrated by the market forces that have these manufacturers putting some great sensors behind these behemoth zooms. Admittedly, if this deal were on the ZS70 I might've sucked it up and jumped on the deal.

It is nearly as old but the Panasonic DMC-ZS100 for just under 400 is probably a way better deal than any of the ZS60~80
