Reviving Classic Style: Panasonic’s Nostalgic Point-and-Shoot Cameras Make a Comeback
The Point-and-Shoot Camera Makes a Comeback
A New Era for Affordable Digital Cameras
If you thought the trusty point-and-shoot digital camera had bitten the dust, think again. Millennials are flocking back to the format, and major manufacturers are taking notice. Unfortunately, affordable digital cameras have been in short supply lately, leaving enthusiasts in the lurch.
A Break from the Norm
Enter Panasonic’s classic Lumix series and the new ZS99, a camera that’s sure to provide a distraction-free shooting experience. Compact and feature-packed, the Lumix ZS99 is perfect for capturing life’s adventures.
What’s New and Improved
Panasonic has added a virtual video recording mode, designed for future updates to social media. You’ll also find a new Send button in the body of the camera, allowing for easy transfer of content to a companion smartphone for sharing.
Classic Features, Modern Twists
The Lumix ZS99 boasts a long 30x optical zoom from the Leica DC Vario Elmar lens, with a 24-720mm focal range. Image size maxes out at 20.3-megapixels, and you can grab HD video at 120 frames per second. For 4K video, the frame rate drops to 30fps. The camera also features 5-Axis optical image stabilisation.
Tech-Savvy Touches
The touchscreen includes a tilt-able 1,840 dot display, ensuring you always have the best shooting angle. The Lumix ZS99 also boasts Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C charging, and Wi-Fi 2.4GHz.
Pricing and Availability
The Lumix ZS90 (the successor to the 2016 ZS80) is set to release in February for $499.99 in the US and £469.99 in the UK.
