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.

It’s wonderful that you’re enjoying the lightweight design, easy-to-use interface, and the stunning 4K video quality.

It’s also fantastic to hear that the battery life and wireless photo transfer have been convenient for you. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are so glad this camera is meeting your needs! -C

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.
I would recommend this to a friend

I just bought this camera, and so far I absolutely love it! This is my very first camera, so I’m still learning how to use all the settings and get the hang of everything. I’ve only taken a few photos so far, but the image quality is seriously amazing. I’ve attached a couple of the pictures I’ve taken, not many yet, but I’m already blown away by how good they look.

Camera pretty good!. I tend to cover the flash with my fingers also other people do the same if I ask to take a picture. Video quality pretty good. Like the fact that I can send the photos to my phone with wifi Connect.
Hey Alex! Thank you for the wonderful feedback. We are glad to hear you're enjoying the video quality and the ability to send photos to your phone via Wi-Fi. As for the flash inconvenience, it might help to adjust the grip slightly to avoid covering it. Try holding the camera with your fingers placed on the sides or back, which can help keep your hands clear of the flash area while still maintaining a comfortable hold. We hope you will enjoy capturing and sharing your memories with our DC-ZS99 camera! -C

Big zoom range in a pocket-sized camera

Is small enough to fit in a coat pocket. It’s wonderfully travel-friendly and very nicely turned out.
The lens built into this camera has a relatively huge 30x optical zoom range, equating to 24-720mm in full-frame terms, and stretching from fairly generous wide-angle coverage to mighty super-telephoto reach.
Hey Arquien! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're pleased to hear that the DC-ZS99 is travel-friendly and easy to carry due to its compact size. It's wonderful to know that you are enjoying the impressive 30x optical zoom range and its versatility. We truly appreciate your insights and hope the camera continues to meet your needs! -C

This is an amazing afforable camera! The photo quality is the best, I was doing a lot of research because I wanted the canon G7 X, which is obviously sold out everywhere. When I came across this camera which is very affordable compared to others but honestly, the quality is even better.

Its a camera based on 2018 model. Zoom is good, image ok with plenty of light available. Nothing else available at this price - as expensive as it is.

Not the best quality, my iphone 16 pro max takes way better pictures which it’s a disappointment. The flash is not the best. It’s super slow to check the sd card pictures and the process to share the pictures to your phone is way slower. I really wanted to love this camera because i wanted something small to take for summer pics (I own a canon R50 but its to big to carry around)
