The best point and shoot camera out
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Beginner-friendly with amazing results
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Big zoom range in a pocket-sized camera
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good portable camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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
Do not buy this camera, simply the worst camera I
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hi, I came to the store to buy a gift for my wife for her birthday about a month ago. I was looking to buy the Canon G7x and it was simply out of stock. One of the store's salespeople came to me with an offer for the Lumix ZS99. I hadn't seen the camera before. He convinced me to buy the camera. I explained to him that my wife's birthday is in 3 weeks from the date of purchase and what would I do if she didn't like the camera. He suggested that I purchase a membership for $50. He said that I would receive a 60-day return option. In the end, he advised me to come back after a few days to cancel the membership and everything would remain as he promised. In any case, I received the camera a few days later. A week ago, my wife opened the camera for the first time and the camera was simply horrible. The quality is not good at all. The focus doesn't look good at all. In the end, the guy scammed me. I went back to the store to return the camera and I simply didn't get any response. I paid over $600. This camera is not worth it. Do yourself a favor and don't go near this camera. It's at my house. I just have no choice but to buy this camera...

Posted .Hello Daniel! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we're truly sorry to hear about the disappointment you've faced, especially with a purchase meant to be a thoughtful gift. It’s disheartening to know the camera didn’t meet your expectations, and we understand how frustrating it must feel, particularly given the circumstances around the return policy and the in-store experience. We recommend having the camera set to iA or iA+ mode to make use of the auto focus feature. If you are using a different mode, please press on the MF button on the camera and select the type of auto focus would you wish to use for that shot. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. - F
Your perfect travel companion
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a really nice compact all-around camera with some great pro features like post-focus stacking, manual focus, and other functions. There’s great ergonomics like comfortable hand grips, good dials and rings, and other intuitive controls. The camera has a great auto mode and fantastic semi-auto creative controls. The long zoom lets you utilize this camera on the go, giving you the ability to get close enough to everything you want to shoot without having to carry a large lens or compromise picture quality. However, my only reservation so far is the flash, which is simply put in the wrong place. It always gets blocked by your hand on the camera grip.

High Quality Build and Photos
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The camera is built with quality and feels good in the hand. Colors pop and the image is very nice. You can tell the difference between this and an iPhone as long as you have good light. Battery will last 1 full day of pictures or a weekend of lighter pictures taking. I’d recommend getting a spare battery as well. Only downside of this camera is the flash placement, as your finger will naturally block it. But that is something you eventually get used to. Flash is bright and makes a big difference. The flash is the reason I bought this over the similarly priced Sony.

Great multi use pocketable camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is perfect for casual bird watching and photography. Perfect for those moments when you dont want to carry around long and heavy lenses but still see a cool bird or distant landmark you wish to capture. The image quality is still surprisingly good full zoom. There is no view finder but for me its no problem the viewing screen works great

Great little camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great compact camera. Takes a little time to learn the different functions.
