Panasonic Lumix G90

When Panasonic announced that it was to form the L-Mount Alliance with Leica and Sigma and enter the full-frame market, one of the first things that entered many people's minds was what it would mean for the future of the G series? Panasonic has made it clear that it is not about to abandon the well-established Micro Four Thirds system and will continue to develop its G series alongside the S series to ensure there's a Lumix camera for everyone, from novices buying their first camera to professionals who demand the highest image quality and performance.

The brand-new Lumix G90 fits into the G series below the Lumix G9 and inherits quite a few key features that were first introduced on its high-end cousin. Like the Lumix G80 it sets out to replace, the G90's target audience is enthusiast photographers and those who desire a comprehensive video specification in a portable body for blogging and movie making. Priced at £899 (body only), it goes up against some strong contenders, including the recently reviewed Fujifilm X-T30 (see AP 18 May).

Features

The G90 embraces a lot from the larger Lumix G9 – a camera I liked very much when I reviewed it in late 2017.
