Might be worth a try. However, somehow I remember a similar posting a few months back where an attempt was made after a similar incident. Panasonic denied the request siting an operator fault and not a defect/premature failure. Given the price point for a ZS70/80 series, I think you’d be better off biting the bullet and replacing it.
And that is assuming the camera is still underwarranty. But I am sure Panasonic doesn't warranty damage by droping the camera. They may be able to fix it for less than the cost of new one but even then buying another is a better solution.
