Panasonic - LUMIX ZS99 Point and Shoot Camera, Compact Camera for Travel with 30x Zoom with 24-720mm Zoom Lens, and 4K Video/Photo - Black

The quality is really good. I’m still learning the settings, but it’s a great point and shoot camera! Really great for photos and traveling and it’s compact and easy to bring along on trips. The flash is the only downside because it’s kind of in an awkward place where I usually put my fingers.

I bought this camera open box and I was pleasantly surprised. The camera was in pristine condition and the quality is so good. I bought this for a trip as a travel camera and it honestly takes better pictures than my phone (except for low light). The zoom is amazing! The battery life is great for traveling, I only had to charge it every other day.

Before buying this camera, I was constantly purchasing disposable cameras and spending even more money developing the photos. I finally decided to invest in a real camera, and I’m so glad I chose this one. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and perfect for beginners. The variety of settings is impressive, including manual controls if you want to experiment, and it even shoots in stunning 4K video. The photo quality is crystal clear with great color accuracy and sharpness. Battery life is solid — I can easily shoot all day on a single charge — and it feels sturdy without being too bulky. Plus, transferring photos to my phone or laptop is super simple with the built-in WiFi/Bluetooth. I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality option without the complicated learning curve.

So I’ll start off by saying this camera held up to what I’d hoped it would be. With that being said, I bought it knowing about a couple of its drawbacks thanks to previous reviewer’s insights. So here are some of those “cons” real quick: The flash is in fact in an inconvenient spot. But I was used to shooting another point and shoot camera with a flash in the same spot. The camera is BORDERLINE pocketable, I think any bigger and it’d fall out of that classification. The camera also struggles in low light. It would struggle to pick up on a subject in dim lighting, and the struggle only got worse as I zoomed in more and more. So with all that out of the way, here are some of the things I really enjoy about this camera: The 720mm zoom is INCREDIBLE. I was really skeptical of it, just because my phone goes to potato quality after a certain threshold of zoom. But the specs don’t lie, and the optical zoom is spectacular. Images were so clear. In lower lighting the image clarity gets less great, which is when the flash comes into play. The flash is really good at fanning out and capturing the scene and subject. It’s nice and bright, and of course you can change the intensity in the settings. The ability to tilt the screen is a really fun feature. I don’t use this camera for video so I can’t speak to anything on that front, but all in all this was a great replacement for my old point and shoot, and I take it with me on all my hikes and outdoor walks and family gettogethers.

This is my first digital camera. I don't have anything to compare it with besides my iPhone. So far it's very user friendly and has so much cool features that it amazes me. It's lightweight, battery life if I use it a lot it takes up to 2 days until I need to charge it. I love the aesthetics of how it looks like! Best purchase ever! Here are some of the photos I shot using their retro setting.
