Panasonic Lumix DC-G90

The Panasonic Lumix G90 (also known as the Panasonic G95 and G91 in some territories) is a new mid-range mirrorless camera for enthusiast photographers and videographers. The G90 features a 20.3 megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor with no low pass filter, the very latest Venus Engine processor, 4K video recording at frame rates of 30p/25p/24p, VLog L profile included at no extra charge, headphone and MIC sockets, 5-Axis Dual Image Stabilisation system, a 2,360K-dot OLED Live View Finder, and a 3-inch 1040K-dot Free-Angle touch screen OLED display.

The Lumix G90 / G95 is a mid-range mirrorless camera that takes the popular G80 / G85 with its comfortable body, decent viewfinder, fully-articulated screen and built-in stabilisation, and brings it up-to-date with a higher resolution 20 Megapixel sensor that matches the G9 for photo quality, unlimited movie recording times even in 4k, USB charging and power delivery, a very flat profile for grading, a headphone jack and Bluetooth to complement the Wifi. On the downside, the 4k video incurs a tighter crop than the G80, which limits its usefulness compared to 1080, and in my tests I also found the continuous autofocus less confident than the best of its rivals, especially for video. But these were my only complaints for what turned out to be a very capable and satisfying camera to shoot with. That said, there’s no getting away from the fact it does face tough competition from similarly-priced rivals, most notably the Sony A6400 and Fujifilm X-T30, so you’ll need to carefully weigh up the pros and cons when making your choice. Also keep an eye on the higher-end Lumix G9 which with discounting could give you a lot more camera for only a little extra money.

The Panasonic Lumix G90 offers compelling video features, and great image quality is possible.

The Panasonic Lumix DC-G95/G90 is a good all-around mirrorless camera, though it doesn't stand out in any particular area. Its build quality is very good, with plenty of direct controls, in-body IS and an EVF that is much larger than those on its peers. Image quality is very good, though behind its competitors that use larger sensors. Video quality is fine in daylight, but falls behind when light is poor. In addition, a 1.25x crop when shooting 4K video doesn't limits your lens selection for wide-angle video capture.
