Panasonic Announces Superzoom with... 60X Optical Zoom!?

This is really shocking (for me, at least). How superzoom cameras had evolved since I last followed any after I got my DMC-FZ30. Panasonic just announced the DMC-FZ70, a superzoom bridge camera with a 60X optical zoom lens that goes from 20mm to 1,200mm (35mm equivalent)!!! It's got a 16.1 megapixels sensor and the lens is reasonably bright at this kind of zoom range with apertures f/2.8 - 5.9! Photo quality? That's probably another story...
