Frustrating App connectivity
on August 6, 2026
Posted by: Kevin
I have been trying to pair the Camera to the Image app with my Iphone 16 pro for days. Ikeep getting error messages like unable to connect and camera rejected connection. It shouldn't be this hard. Why you start out the pairing on Bluetooth then have to finish the pairing on WiFi is beyond me and makes the pairing overly complicated. Also Panasonic Support gives you no way to contact them directly

Hi Kevin! Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the app connectivity and pairing process has been so frustrating. We understand how disappointing it is when connecting a camera to a phone feels more complicated than it should, especially after repeated error messages and several days of trying. Your comments about the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi setup flow, as well as the difficulty of finding direct support options, are important and appreciated. If helpful, support is also available through the live chat on our website.

We bought the Lumix ZS599 for our trip to Yellowstone & Grand Tetons. It's easy to take on trails and the zoom allowed me to get a few animal shots from a safe distance. Can print up to 16x20 quality pictures.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Much Better Than Sony or Canon
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: G
The best. Lumix are much better than Sony or cannon, the most overrated cameras. Much better color and quality than anything else in my price range. Way more bang for the buck. This would be priced more if it were called Sony, and theirs would overheat
I would recommend this to a friend!

In December I went on a trip to the Middle east. On the first day my ZS80 which had taken wonderful pictures in Egypt in 2023 and in the canadian Arctic in 2024 Stopped working on the first day of my trip. The screen said System Error (Focus). I had a backup camera my ZS100 which took 1150 fine pictures but its wide angle telephoto zoom lever stopped functioning the last few days.So I have two Panasonic cameras that need repair. I have never had this with other brands.

It’s a compact little camera that appears to have lots of features and capabilities. Being new to photography, video instructions or better manual on settings could be very helpful. It’s a bit confusing. One button does so many different things based on mode, it’s easy to get lost. I feel like I need to take notes in order to find the settings I would like to use.

It's a nice p&s with a lot of advanced features. However, despite being useful, the on-board battery charging only It's actually not that great, since the camera can't be used while charging, but really bad is that a regular wall charger is not included and very hard to find > here 3 stars only

Nice a very nice job
on June 11, 2025
Posted by: mike55
We went to Alaska in May 2025, and wanted a nice point and shoot camera. I chose the Lumix ZS99 trying to stay within a budget. I was very pleased with the performance of the camera both for videos, normal and zoom shots. I think it did a better job than our iPhone Pro 13, especially for zoom shots. It was compact and held a good charge. Yes it does not have a view finder but I did not see that as a negative. I would recommend this camera.

Safari game changer
on May 2, 2025
Posted by: Ingwe
I bought on presale for an African safari in April. I was able to document all the wildlife and scenery in beautiful pics and videos. It has all the bells and whistles but I found that the results were great just using intelligent auto. The 30x zoom is why I bought the camera and it did not disappoint. The WiFi feature and app were very useful in making sure I promptly uploaded my images on my phone to share with everyone back home.
I would recommend this to a friend!
