It does have a more desirable 18MP sensor compared to the 20MP on current models

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

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.

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.

Good luck!
