Verdict
Pick the TZ96 if you need 4K video, a 20 MP sensor, and a compact body for travel—its newer tech justifies the higher price. The FZ72 stays the better choice if budget is tight and you prioritize value over resolution or video quality, as its bridge design and lower cost offer more flexibility for casual shooting.
