The battery life is not really an issue with me on the Canon SX50. The batteries are as cheap as chips on ebay.

I'm happy with my FZ150, so I'm not even considering the FZ70/2. The samples posted don't look too promising, even noisy at the low ISOs

New doesn't always mean better

I see B&H and Amazon have it for $249. I have the Canon SX30 IS and Nikon P500 superzooms and will wait until 2015 when they put 4K video in the superzoom cameras.

Any updates?

And what was meant by the Leica lens comment? Did Leica make previous lens and they are using something else on this?
I'm rather tired of my 24x Leica even though I don't use it much. Wondering whats coming up if anything or jump on this or the Canon

Earlier models had the Leica name up front. If nothing else, that can be considered as somewhat of a quality indicator. I guess it's essentially the design, not the manufacturing though that came from Leica. I would assume that a 60x zoom range simply involves too many quality compromises to fit Leica's minimal standards. But I have not seen an explicit comparison of this lens with earlier ones. I would be very much interested to see such a comparison.

I have two batteries for my FZ 150. Are they the same batteries? I have found today that this is priced 140.00 less than the older Canon SX50 which makes me wonder if its not selling well or something.
