The Panasonic ZS99 proved that the brand isn’t going to ignore the compact camera trend – but there’s a gap in the point-and-shoot market between options like the ZS99 and the pricey Fujifilm X100VI. I’m itching to see a mid-tier compact camera that can find the balance between quality and price, but all my wishful thinking has me wondering: What ever happened to the Panasonic Lumix LX100 II? And why doesn’t Panasonic bring back the Micro Four Thirds point-and-shoot line?
The Panasonic Lumix LX100 II, launched in 2018, isn’t that old considering influencers are buying up cameras that are a decade old or even older. But Panasonic discontinued the LX100 series as the compact camera market flatlined. Now that compacts are in again, the LX100 II is one of the retro compacts that I would love to see make a comeback.
