The Panasonic LUMIX G97 is a high-performance, hybrid Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera kit engineered to deliver balanced video production capabilities, high-resolution stills capture, and ergonomic handling in a portable form factor. Built around a 20.3-megapixel Digital Live MOS sensor paired with an enhanced Venus Engine image processor, the G97 captures detailed images with wide dynamic range, rich color gradations, and low noise across a native sensitivity range of ISO 200 to 25600 (expandable down to ISO 100). Designed as an upgraded evolution of the popular G95 platform, the G97 modernizes system connectivity with a high-speed USB-C interface for seamless data transfer and on-the-go in-camera battery charging, a higher-resolution 1.84m-dot rear OLED touchscreen, and power-efficient Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy wireless integration.

For motion picture production, the camera records internal UHD 4K video at up to 30p and Full HD at 60 fps, featuring pre-installed V-Log L gamma to capture flat, 12-stop dynamic range footage ready for professional post-production grading, alongside clean 8-bit 4:2:2 external HDMI output. Handheld camera stability is powered by 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 technology, combining in-body sensor-shift stabilization with lens-based optical stabilization to correct up to 5 stops of camera shake for blur-free photography and steady video panning. Autofocus is driven by Panasonic’s 49-area Depth-From-Defocus (DFD) contrast AF technology with refined face and pupil tracking down to -4 EV. Bundled with the versatile LUMIX G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. lens (providing an expansive 24-120mm full-frame 35mm equivalent focal range), this weather-sealed magnesium alloy kit provides a complete production setup in top-tier shape.
