These are different types of cameras with significant different characteristics.

A70 is a camera for learning photography.
You can manual set apeture and shutter speed with standard 3x zoom lens. 3mega pixel can print upto A4 paper size picture.

FZ1 is a camera for fun but limited to 5x7 inches picuture.
For A4 print it is a bit grainy.
There are limited manual setting.
The 35 - 420mm zoom gives you a lot of photo opportunities.
The bright lens F2.8 at 420mm full zoom with image stabliizer cannot be found in prosumer Digital Cameras.

Both cameras can add filter, close up lens.
The FZ1 comes with adaptor for he lens hood, filter.
Add a few hundred dollars you can have cokin gradual netrual density filter and close up lenses. The whole world of photography is opened to you !

I like both cameras but personally I feel the image quality of FZ1 is a bit better in smaller size print .

Whatever you choose, happy shooting !

No matter it is a film camera or a digicam, first thing first is the lens. The basic law of phyics always govern when you need to do business with light, no exception. Whether Canon lens or Leica lens is better, however, is subject to your personal interpretation. Both should be good but I like Leica ones better if I can afford it.

In digi cam, the second thing is the Figure of Merit (FM), which is defined as the product of sensor pixel and the square of the maximum focal length. The bigger this number, the better it is. The ratio of FZ1 is more than 10 times of that A70.

A70 and FZ1 are two quite animals. OM-740 and FZ-1, on the other hand, will be a close call.
