Best for: Travel and outdoor photography

Pros

  • 5-stop IBIS for handheld stability
  • Weather sealed body
  • Dual IS with compatible Panasonic OIS lenses

Cons

  • Contrast-detect AF only, slower on unpredictably moving subjects
  • 4K capped at 30fps
  • No headphone jack for audio monitoring

Travel photography

Mid-size body with weather sealing, IBIS, and a fully articulated touchscreen. No phase-detect AF limits fast-subject tracking, but for travel shooting where most subjects are stationary or slow-moving the contrast-detect AF is adequate. A practical option at second-hand prices. Full guide →

Video and vlogging

The fully articulated screen and V-Log L support make the G95 a capable vlogging body. 4K recording and a mic port cover the basics. No headphone jack is a limitation for more serious audio monitoring.

Dual IS compatibility

This body supports Panasonic Dual IS. IBIS and lens OIS work together for improved stabilisation with compatible Power OIS lenses.
