The Panasonic Lumix G90 takes the daring bet of positioning itself as a device capable of excelling in photos and videos while remaining compact and relatively affordable.
Panasonic delivers a hybrid that wants to position itself on all fronts. Photo, video, experts, beginner, personalization or automation, there is something for everyone. The Lumix G90 drives the point home by offering a tropicalized finish and a relatively small size. If the case by its versatility is a very good device, the video quality could still have been better. However, few users will be able to find a crippling lack in the Lumix G90. Could this be the perfect recipe?

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
Let’s not be afraid of words: with its Lumix G7, Panasonic has a practically perfect hybrid for the greatest number. Well built, relatively compact and light, very fast, capable of very beautiful images, gifted in video (it films in 4K/UHD!), highly customizable. His flaw? He wants to do everything well so much that sometimes he does a little too much…
