    Slightly upgraded G95

    Feature packed micro four thirds camera . Panasonic made minor improvements over a six year old midgrade enthusiast grade camera. So there's no need to upgrade from a G95, you won't see much of a refinement, it still uses the same "old" 20.3mp sensor and the same old depth to de-focus autofocus system.
