If you’ve ever wished for a camera that’s as versatile as it is portable, the LUMIX G97 and ZS99 from Panasonic are here to deliver. With the G97 priced at $849.99 for a 12-60mm lens kit, both cameras are designed to give photographers and videographers a compact, high-performance solution to capture stunning images and videos. Expected to launch in February 2025, these cameras are perfect for creators looking to lighten their load without sacrificing quality.

These cameras bring professional features into a compact body, giving creators a portable tool for everyday use, travel, and even professional work.”
The LUMIX G97 is a powerful hybrid camera aimed at those who need versatility in both photography and videography. With its 20.3MP sensor and advanced 5-axis Dual I.S.2 image stabilization, the G97 ensures stable, high-quality results even in challenging conditions. “The G97 combines high-end photography features like 4K PHOTO and smooth 5-axis stabilization, with unlimited 4K video recording. It’s an excellent choice for creators who need professional-grade performance without the bulk,” said the spokesperson. The G97’s ability to shoot high-speed bursts at 30fps in 4K PHOTO mode ensures that photographers never miss a key moment, whether it’s a sporting event or a fleeting expression.
For videographers, the G97 goes further with dedicated audio control options, including headphone and microphone jacks, making it easy to manage sound quality during recording. This flexibility ensures that creators have full control over their video projects, whether they’re making a short film or capturing a live event.
Meanwhile, the LUMIX ZS99 offers a solution for travelers and casual creators who need a camera that’s easy to carry yet still packs a punch. With a 30x optical zoom lens, the ZS99 gives users the ability to shoot everything from wide landscapes to distant wildlife with ease. Despite its compact size, the ZS99 provides 4K video recording and fast autofocus, so you never have to worry about missing that perfect shot. “The ZS99 is built for those who want portability without sacrificing performance. Whether you’re on vacation or shooting an impromptu event, the ZS99 is ready to capture it all,” said the spokesperson.
Both cameras feature built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®, enabling easy sharing of photos and videos wherever you are. With these wireless capabilities, creators can quickly upload their work to social media or transfer files to their mobile devices without any hassle.
The LUMIX G97 and ZS99 are the perfect choices for photographers, videographers, and content creators who want a combination of performance, portability, and ease of use.
