Panasonic Lumix FZ70 FZ72

[Rossienco]

Hi, first time visitor.
I'm interested in the Panasonic FZ70. Have read the reviews also on the canon HX50, Nixon Coolpix P520. All very impressive. My reason for the FZ70 is the panoramic function and battery life as well and the telephoto. The canon is also a very impressive camera but without the panoramic.
My question is, does any one know if Panasonic is going to release a replacement model for the FZ70. There are features on each camera that would be nice to be integrated in to just one unit.
I am led to believe that canon HX50 is due to be replaced soon.
I currently own a canon 30d with extras, and a Panasonic TZ10. (Both cameras are great particularly the TZ10)

Thank you.

Ross
