Pros
- 5-stop IBIS for handheld stability

- 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.
