Panasonic Lumix G97 review: a new Micro Four Thirds camera that feels very familiar

Panasonic Lumix G97.

There was nothing wrong with the Panasonic Lumix G90 (G95 in the USA). Launched in 2019, it aimed to be a classy and robust mid-range hybrid camera with smart features and good handling characteristics. That’s just as well, as the G97 which is new for 2025 is so closely based on the older model, that any differences are very few and far between, and pretty hard to spot. As such, the G97 seeks to pick up the baton from its predecessor, aiming to be one of the best hybrid cameras for stills and video, and one of the best Micro Four Thirds cameras on the market, at an affordable price.

Styling is virtually identical to that of the preceding Lumix G90/G95 camera. That’s no bad thing. (Image credit: Matthew Richards)
