Perfect travel camera

The ZS99 is sleek, lightweight, and small enough to fit in a pocket, making it ideal for travel and everyday carry. The build quality feels solid, and the camera features a comfortable grip, which helps when shooting at longer focal lengths. The 3-inch tilting touchscreen is a nice touch, allowing for easy framing, especially for selfies and vlogging. Cons: Struggles in low-light conditions, No electronic viewfinder, No external microphone input. Overall it’s a great camera for a great price. 10/10 recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Convenient travel camera with great zoom range

Enjoy the wide zoom range but wish the telephoto speed was faster. Long distance shots come in a lttle grainy. 1" sensor would have been a bonus. Overall, it is a solidly built camera and will work well for pocket travel.

Pretty darn good fo the money

pretty cool camera with lots of controls for pro results. I do miss the viewfinder, however, but at this price point, you get what you pay for. It's remarkably easy to take snapshots and the camera is way easier than lugging a big DSLR or mirrorless, and the 30x optical zoom makes this a powerhouse. I do wish Pannie would include software for processing .rw2 files as Nikon does with their robust NX studio software. I don't own Photoshop or Correl or Lightroom, but it shouldn't be so proprietary to work with these superior files. I tried to download the webcam software and the download link would not work for me on my Mac. I would be nice to have a screw mount somewhere for filters and lens protection. Gotta get support.....

This is my third Lumix purchase. This camera has been my go to camera for outdoor hikes. I love it because it's small enough to carry in the pocket of a coat. The picture quality has been very good. It would be a great camera for anyone that likes to travel light.

Disappointed in zoom
on March 1, 2025
Posted by: @photography
I am disappointed in the quality of pictures. My phone takes much better photos and has a better zoom. I was really hoping to use this to get back into my passion of photography after going through a difficult time, but this was not worth the purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
