Panasonic has announced the new Lumix G95 (as known as G90 in Europe or G99 in Asia), a rugged hybrid mirrorless camera that aims to offer the best of both worlds when it comes to shooting photos and video. The hybrid mirrorless camera packs a 20.3 megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor with an all new Venus engine and 5-axis in body stabilization.
Continuous shooting speed is 9fps for single AF and 6fps for continuous AF.

While the new camera retains the same DSLR-like form as the G85, the model has been redesigned for maximum comfort and easy one-handed operation. Resistant to splashes of water and dust, it adopts a slightly more angular design than the G85, with more defined edges and a peaked flash unit.

Autofocusing is done by the Contrast AF system that uses Depth From Defocus (DFD) technology, which exchanges digital signals between the camera and lens at up to 240fps for ultra-fast autofocusing as fast as 0.07 seconds. AF functions include Face/Eye Detection AF, Pinpoint AF, One-shot AF, and advanced Low Light AF.

The G95 features a 5-axis Dual IS system that provides 5 stops of stabilization by combining 2-axis optical and 5-axis in-body stabilization.

Speaking about video the G95 offers 4K video recording in 3840×2160 at 30p or 24p in MP4, real-time image output to an external monitor/recorder via HDMI, High Speed Video (slow-mo in Full HD at 120fps/90fps/60fps), 4:2:0 / 8-bit log recording with the pre-installed V-Log L, a 3.5mm mic jack, and a new headphone socket.

Other features of the new Lumix G95 include a pop-up flash, 4K Photo (capturing 8MP photos at 30fps with tools that include Auto Marking, Sequence Composition, Post Focus, Focus Stacking, Light Composition, 4K Live Cropping), Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connectivity, AC/USB charging, and an electromagnetic drive shutter (for reduced shock and quieter operation).

The G95/G90 will be available starting in May 2019 at $1,199 for the body and 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.
