Panasonic ZS99
« on: December 16, 2024, 08:48:27 PM »
Can anyone comment on the new Panasonic ZS99?

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1869316-REG/panasonic_dc_zs99k_zs99_digital_camera_black.html/overview

Is this a step down quality-wise from the ZS100?  Seems like it is cheaper than the ZS100 was.

Its not an upgrade over the zs100.
Its an upgrade over the TZ95.

The zs100 has a 1 inch lens.
This one does not.
The zs100 has 12x zoom, this one has 30x.

The zs100 has a non movable touchscreen, this is moveable.

Apart from the lower lens quality, this could be a nice device for filming shows. The moveable screen and the 30x zoom is nice!

I just checked the specs, and saw this:

Recording Limit: Up to 30 Minutes

Unless there's a way to hack the recording limit like there is for the ZS100; I, somewhat regrettably, will probably take a pass on this.  I'd love that extra zoom too.  Dammit~!!

Although 30 minutes is not that bad, I agree.
It's extra moments of stress during stealth.

Recording Limit: Up to 30 Minutes

Where did you see that?


I found this info on the official Panasonic site:

"Unlimited Video Performance: Reduce cases of overheating; shoot in 4K 30p with no time limitation**, slow-motion (4x) or quick-motion (8x) in FHD; create cinematic content with 12-stops of V-Log L."

I followed that link and while it does say, "no time limitation" it is also followed by two astericks.  I can't find any explanation for those astericks.

But to answer your question, I read this at B&H's website (about 2/3 the way down the webpage):
