Along with the Panasonic G97 mirrorless camera, Panasonic today also announced the compact camera Panasonic ZS99. It is actually a re-launch of the Panasonic TZ95 compact camera, which has now been discontinued. As usual, the display has been updated along with some minor upgrades. But one of the most important things that we will miss in this camera is the electronic viewfinder, which was actually present in the TZ95 but is now removed.
The camera features a small sensor, while at the very same time is capable of zooming up to 30x optically, and with digital zoom, you can reach up to 60x.

Panasonic silently updated its camera in the past due to the display screen supply line production issue (see here). Again, they faced the same problem with the G90 camera, so this time they had to make a bit more significant update and re-launch it as a brand-new camera.
So this time, they have not only updated the screen but also upscaled all possible core specifications. Possible for that particular price range with the available resources.
The first major update you will notice this time is the display screen, which is now 1.84 Million dots, The resolution of the screen is somewhere around 1.4 million dots. The electronic viewfinder of the camera remains the same with 2.36 million dot resolution, which is quite reasonable within the price range.
The sensor and image processor of the camera remain the same, but we do have some minor updates all over the body. So let’s discuss that.
We have Single card slots, which are compatible with UHS-II cards, a headphone port, a micro-HDMI port, and a USB-C port, and with that port, you can now also charge your battery.
The menu system has been slightly upscaled to make it better. Now it looks very similar to the new S5 II and S5 IIX cameras.
Unfortunately, we are getting the same 20-megapixel sensor of the G90 or G95 camera with the DFD autofocusing system, which clearly means the autofocus will be slow and will include a lot of focus hunting in low-light situations. Thanks to the new image sensors of Panasonic introduced in the Panasonic GH7 camera, which now has 25-megapixel resolution and hybrid autofocusing points. The same technology exists in the full-frame S5 II and S5 IIX cameras, which now use a hybrid phase-detection autofocus sensor of 24MP resolution.
So, that’s a very welcome upgrade Panasonic has done recently with their new range of cameras, but the older series with DFD autofocusing systems remains in its place.
Let’s talk about the video recording capability of the camera. With the recently announced Panasonic G97, you can record 4K videos up to 30 frames per second and Full HD videos up to 120 frames per second.
The best thing about the Panasonic G97 camera is the built-in 5-stop image stabilization system, which is very, very effective while shooting video on the go. It manages the camera shake that most professional cameras are not able to handle even with their 7-8 stops of IBIS.
But again, the issue with the 4K recording is a 1.25x crop, even at 4K 30 frames per second. So, if you are using a 16mm lens, the resulting output will be somewhere around 20mm. If you want to create vlogs with the camera, you have to buy a lens like a 9mm F1.7 aperture lens, which is also not too expensive and can be used for day-to-day vlogging purposes.
Other upgrades include Bluetooth, which has been upscaled to 5.0 from 4.2, and with the help of the upscaled Bluetooth chip, you can now synchronize your camera with the Lumix Sync app. With the help of the app, you can try new LUTs as well as transfer your images seamlessly on the go.
More or less, it was the need of the time to refresh the display screen of the camera due to production line issues coming out from the display makers. But Panasonic made a smart move to update the overall core specifications of the camera and made it slightly more usable for today’s generation at a budget price range.

Panasonic is planning to announce a compact camera in 2025, according to the latest rumors from Webio [take it with a grain of salt]. Panasonic is reportedly planning to announce a compact camera similar to Canon G7X Mark III, specifically designed for content creators. This camera is under development and expected to arrive in the first half of 2025.
When I visited the Panasonic Lumix websites of several countries, I noticed that most of their compact cameras are either out of production or out of stock. Currently, the only compact camera active in their production line is the Lumix FZ80. Even retailers are no longer accepting any orders of Panasonic compact camera models.
It’s hard to believe this rumor, seeing that most of their cameras are out of production. They may either launch a brand-new series specifically for content creators or revive one of their existing models, like the LX20.
It looks like Panasonic is in the mood to regain the compact camera consumer base. And yes, they can do so, as a huge number of content creators right now would love to have a compact solution with high-quality videography features, which the Panasonic /Lumix brand can easily deliver.
We will update you if anything comes up related to the upcoming camera or lenses. Stay tuned and stay updated.

Sony will launch the a7R VI and it will feature a jump to 80-megapixels.
The a7R V is a great camera, but Sony will finally answer calls to make a full-frame camera that will make the most significant megapixel jump in recent memory. Technically, Sony semiconductor already has the ability to make a 90-megapixel full-frame camera based on Fujifilm’s excellent 40-megapixel APS-C sensor, so there is an easy way to get to this mark. The only thing holding that sensor back would be its scan speed, but for a stills-focused camera, that might not be a deal-breaker.
Let’s discuss the possible set of core specifications of the upcoming camera if it arrives with an 80MP full-frame sensor
Sony A7R VI – An 80MP Beast Rumored for 2025 Release
- 80MP Full-Frame Exmor R BSI CMOS Sensor
- BIONZ XR & Dual AI Processing Units
- 8.5-Stop 5-Axis IBIS / Enhanced Active IS Mode
- Enhanced AI-Based Real-Time Tracking AF System
- 8K 30p, 8K 60p mode
- 4K 120p, FHD 240 10-Bit Video
- 4K 16-Bit RAW Output; S-Log3/S-Cinetone
- 9.44m-Dot EVF with 120 fps Refresh Rate
- 3.2″ 4-Axis Multi-Angle Touchscreen LCD
- Expected: up to 12 fps using mechanical shutter, or 15 fps using an electronic shutter,
- Dual CFexpress Type A/SD Card Slots
When Sony A7R VI will arrive?
based on the update cycle, the Sony A7R VI could be announced around November 2025
Stay tuned more updates are coming related to upcoming cameras and lenses.

Yes, it is possible since during an interview when the interviewer asked about the possibility of a Canon retro film-style camera, a Canon representative said there is a significant number of people who really love film cameras and the more vintage look. Therefore, there is a possibility that Canon will address those needs from the industry.
This indicates that Canon is considering a retro-style camera in its lineup. The rumor is not new; before this interview, we published a rumor back on March 11th, 2024, According to the rumor
Early prototypes of to be announced Canon retro camera design are inspired by the image above (Canon QL 17 G Mark 3). One of the early prototypes is said to feature a full 24-megapixel CMOS sensor and a vari-angle display screen. Not only full frame there is which possibility that an APSC sensor-based retro camera is also under development.

13. Canon V1 – Fullframe Vlogging Camera
The Next Fullframe Vlogging camera that surfaced from the patent may use the Canon R8 Sensor and compact gimbal-style design, the overall design is very unique and advanced. But, this patent was done by Canon back in 2020, Maybe their marketing team waiting for the right time to announce such a product, otherwise it will become a too-advanced product without any direct competitor on the Row. we all know what happened with the Sony DSC R1 camera, it was an APS-C style compact camera announced back in Sep 2016 by Sony. But, at that time people were not ready for that type of advanced camera neither Canon nor Nikon were able to put a direct competitor of the same, so Sony never announced the next version of the same. Similarly, I think Canon’s marketing team is waiting for the right time. 165
