Compact Upgrade

​Not quite - EB-K is the full suffix of a black Lumix camera, while EB-S simply means it's silver. You wouldn't get a 12MP and 18MP variant of one particular mode

Chris, I copied and pasted this straight from Amazon, so there are the 12mp and the 18mp or someone has got the disciption wrong on there.

​That's true Tina - the Lumix TZ70 has 12MP but the TZ60 has 18MP. That could be where the confusion arises? They are different models, just like the FZ100 and FZ200 are.

However, EB-K really does mean 'black' and EB-S really does mean 'silver' (well, chrome, or aluminium!)

 Tina, Here is a shot of the barcode on my TZ60 It had me a bit confused to start with but I did find a site with both models K and S   as Chris says, One black and one with mettalic trim

Here it is on the Currys Site, Black model at the top of Page and if you scroll down to bottom of page the TZ60 EB-S is there http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/cameras/digital-cameras/compact-digital-cameras/panasonic-dmc-tz60eb-k-superzoom-compact-digital-camera-black-22001900-pdt.html?srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~~~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&s_kwcid=AL!3391!3!43562494175!!!g!95321086748!&ef_id=VIggagAAAHG0dcGg:20150430100549:s#cat-0

My appologies,  Chris, I think my cataracts are getting worse, but I swore that when I clicked on the link it said that one of the tz60 pana's on Amazon was specified as 12mp.

It could be my mistake or a misake in the description by the seller, but if it was on Amazon, I can't find it again. Lol.

I think I need to get my magnifier out, lol.

I did however buy an Olympus compact for my granddaughter from Boots some years ago, and decided to buy one for myself later on.

Both the same model number but the one that I bought from Argos at a slightly lower price, had a couple less settings.

I really wish camera manufacturers had a simpler way of naming the models.

Well at least I am enjoying my latest toy, and it seems that Judy and Barbara are too.

What colour is your lens, Barbara - when I got home the box had Silver written on it (I'd asked for black) but when I opened it the body was black and the lens was metal (silver!).

 

​All black Judy

Mine's all black too, but I did see them as silver on buyacamera as silver, which did just have a silver trim, but they were out of stock anyway, but I wasn't fussed what colour it was.
I wonder if that's because the body is that non slip stuff and it would be difficult to have it all silver.MY Lowpro camera bag just arrived from ebay, for the grand sum of £3.48. It has a hidden attached  rain cover as well.
The screen protectors arrived too. I always put screen protectors on as I carry my camera around my neck and it's quite easy to scratch the screen on buttons and zips.If anyone wants the link to the bag, here it is.

It's not too small so has plenty of room for battery and card.
 I usually buy the rigid plastic screen protectors but thought I would try the film type this time.

Sorry about the jumbled message and different coloured links, I couldn't seem to edit it properly.

I could never get my Panaramas right, but this setting amazes me.

Sometimes downloading the firmware helps or "reset to factory defaults", but if it's a mechanical rather than software problem that won't help. Good luck with the mission.

Sorry to hear that you have had problems, Judy, and hope that you canget it sorted.

I will also keep my eyes open for any problems, but so far, so good.

[NannyFerret]

Glad you've got ig back, Judy. They were pretty quick getting it sorted for you.

Make sure you give it a good testing soon, and I hope now the problem is fixed that you have lots of enjoyment with it.
