Design and Build Quality

The Lumix G95 is constructed with magnesium alloy and engineering plastic. While the front half of the body is crafted with magnesium alloy, the back uses engineering plastic. This makes the camera both sturdy and lightweight. The camera has a deep grip and the grip is enhanced by textured rubber linings. The device has two command dials on top along with a vertical control dial at the back.

Key Features

The 20.3 megapixel Panasonic Lumix G95 uses a Four Thirds (17.3 x 13.0 mm) Live MOS sensor. The sensor unit features a supersonic wave filter to shake off dust particles. The camera incorporates a sensor-shift type image stabilisation system, providing up to five stops of shutter speed advantage along five axes.

Still images are captured in JPEG or Raw format at maximum dimensions of 5184 x 3888 pixels. JPEG compression options include Fine and Standard. Motion pictures can be recorded in MP4 format at up to 4K (3840 x 2160), 30p. High-speed videos can be recorded at up to 120 fps and rendered at Full HD (1920 x 1080), 30p. You can record Full HD video clips (AVCHD format) for up to 50 min while 4K clips can be recorded in MP4 format for up to 45 min. The camera offers a maximum burst speed of approximately nine frames per second. It allows you to capture more than 45 images in Raw format and more than 300 images in JPEG format.
