  • General
    • Brand: Panasonic
    • Model Number: DC-ZS99S
    • Product Name: LUMIX ZS99 Point and Shoot Camera, Compact Camera for Travel with 30x Zoom with 24-720mm Zoom Lens, and 4K Video/Photo
    • Color: Silver
    • Digital Camera Type: DSLR Camera Body Only
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Sensor Size: 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55mm)
    • Digital Zoom: 60x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
    • Image File Format(s): JPEG, MP4, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
    • Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: Still Approx. 1/16,000 - 1 sec (Electronic Shutter)Motion Picture:Approx. 1/16,000 (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Minimum ISO: 80 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
    • Maximum ISO: 6400 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
    • Brightness Control: true (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
    • Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
    • Self Timer: true
    • Panorama Mode: false
    • Effective Pixels: 20.3 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)

    The best point and shoot camera out

    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.

    Great for beginners & experienced photographers

    Great point and shoot camera for beginners and experienced photographers who like to control different features. I was on the hunt for the canon g7x and found that this was very comparable in terms of quality, features, and compact. If you’re a beginner you don’t need to change any settings and can just adjust the different modes. If you’re more experienced there are a lot of adjustments you can make with white balance, filters, personalized shooting settings and more! It has a great zoom and my personal favorite feature is the blur effect in selfie mode.

    Best purchase as my first camera!

    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.
