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.
