Panasonic Lumix DC-G97 with 12-60mm Lens

The Panasonic Lumix DC-G97, paired with the versatile 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, offers a compact and robust solution for photographers and videographers. Its 20.3MP Live MOS sensor and Venus Engine processor deliver high-resolution images and UHD 4K video, making it ideal for diverse shooting scenarios. The camera’s ergonomic design ensures comfortable handling during extended use.

Imaging Performance

The 20.3MP Live MOS sensor, devoid of a low-pass filter, captures sharp, detailed images with minimal moiré.

The DC-G97 records UHD 4K video at 30p and Full HD at up to 120p, catering to both standard and slow-motion footage. The inclusion of V-Log L expands dynamic range, offering greater flexibility in post-production. Audio monitoring and input are facilitated through dedicated headphone and microphone ports.

Stabilisation and Autofocus

The 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 system combines in-body and lens stabilisation, compensating for up to 5 stops of camera shake. The 49-point contrast-detect autofocus system ensures precise focusing, with features like face/eye detection and subject tracking enhancing accuracy.

Lens Versatility

The included 12-60mm lens (equivalent to 24-120mm in 35mm format) covers a broad focal range, suitable for landscapes, portraits, and close-ups. Its weather-sealed construction and silent operation make it apt for various shooting environments.
