Panasonic Lumix DC-G95/G90 Review
The Panasonic Lumix DC-G95 (also known as the G90 and G91 outside North America) is a mid-range 20MP Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera. Panasonic says it's designed to be equally adept at both stills and video, though we don't wholly agree.
It offers an extensive degree of direct control, a flip-out touchscreen and in-body stabilization: a combination that's unusual at this point in the market. This is enough to make it an attractive enthusiast stills camera but a significant video crop undermines its video-making credentials.
