The worst camera for 2025 wasn't the quirky Fujifilm X half – anyone putting forward that barrel of fun point-and-shoot camera misses the point. No, it was the Lumix ZS99 (known as the Lumix TZ99 outside the US) that left me most unimpressed this year.
Not that the Lumix ZS99 / TZ99 is a bad camera per se, and to be fair no other leading brand released a new camera this year like this, at such a low price point. It sits in my best point-and-shoot cameras guide, too.
