So why are we getting a new Lumix ZS99 / TZ99 all these years later?

We saw a similar move by Panasonic earlier in the year when itrevived one of its bridge cameras.

That’s a real shame, and it hardly fills me with excitement for the new model.

Might we see a properly upgraded point-and-shoot in the future?

Panasonic also launched the Lumix G97, a new mirrorless camera with 20.3MP Micro Four Thirds sensor. It updates the cheap Lumix G95 with USB-C charging (again in order to keep it on the shelves in 2025 and beyond) plus a couple of new buttons, but it’s otherwise the same camera. Sales start in mid-February 2025, and it will cost $849.99 / £799 (Australia pricing TBC) with the 12-60mm lens.
