Panasonic Lumix G95 Mirrorless MFT (Micro Four Thirds) Camera Body, Black {20.3MP}

Panasonic G95: the proven MFT hybrid with serious stabilization credentials

The G95 carries a 20MP Four Thirds CMOS sensor, the same one found in the higher-spec G9, minus an optical low-pass filter, which keeps fine detail rendering sharp across the frame. Pair that sensor with 5-axis Dual I.S. 2, rated at 5 stops of shake compensation when used with compatible Panasonic OIS lenses, and you have a camera that earns its keep in low-light and slow-shutter work without a tripod. Burst shooting tops out at 9 fps with AFS, the electronic shutter pushes to 1/16000 sec, and the 49-point contrast-detect AF system acquires focus quickly enough for moving subjects in good light.

The body is weather-sealed with a magnesium alloy front frame, the 3-inch fully articulated touchscreen resolves at 1,240,000 dots, and the 2,360,000-dot EVF covers 100% of the frame. For video work, V-Log L comes pre-installed, one of only two MFT Lumix bodies to ship with it at launch, and both a 3.5mm microphone input and headphone jack are built in. HDMI output carries 4:2:2 8-bit for external recording. The body charges over USB and accepts power from a portable battery bank mid-shoot, which matters when you're recording 4K for extended sessions. CIPA battery life is rated at 290 frames per charge, but USB power delivery largely sidesteps that constraint.

The Micro Four Thirds mount gives this body access to one of the deepest native lens ecosystems in mirrorless, and every stabilized lens in that catalog gains the benefit of Dual I.S. 2 coordination. At this tier of the Panasonic lineup, the G95 sits at a practical intersection of image quality, weather protection, and hybrid capability that holds up well against what it was asking when it launched.

Who It's For

Travel photographers working in unpredictable weather get a sealed body that pairs with sealed kit zooms without adding significant bulk, at 536g, it carries light over long days. Videographers shooting documentary or vlog content benefit from the articulating screen, built-in V-Log L, and the headphone jack that many peers at this price point omit. Landscape and astrophotography shooters can use Live View Composite mode to build long-exposure light trails while suppressing static ambient sources, a function that was new to MFT when the G95 launched. Birders and wildlife photographers working in burst-focused workflows get 9 fps with a 30 RAW frame buffer and 4K Photo pre-burst extraction for pulling 8MP stills from moments that happened before the shutter was fully pressed.

FAQ

Does the G95 have the same sensor as the G9?

Yes - both use a 20MP Four Thirds CMOS sensor without an optical low-pass filter. The G95 trades some of the G9's processing speed and burst performance for a smaller, more ergonomic body.

How much stabilization can I expect at slower shutter speeds?

The 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 system is rated for 5 stops of compensation when paired with compatible Panasonic OIS lenses. That's real performance in low light without a tripod, though results depend on which lens you're using.

Does the G95 shoot video as well as stills?

It's competent but not a standout. V-LogL comes pre-installed, which is rare at this tier, and you get mic and headphone jacks plus HDMI 4:2:2 8-bit output. The catch is a 1.25x crop in 4K, which limits wide-angle options. It handles 4K at 24/25/30p and 1080p up to 120fps.

Can I use this for long video sessions on battery?

CIPA rating is 290 frames, which is modest, but the G95 supports USB power delivery from a portable battery bank mid-shoot. That's a practical workaround if you're recording extended takes.

How fast does autofocus acquire lock?

The 49-point contrast-detect system claims 0.07-second acquisition in good light. It's solid for stills in normal conditions but exhibits some hunting in continuous AF video work - a quirk inherent to Panasonic's DFD system.

Is the weather sealing adequate for field work?

Yes. Magnesium alloy front frame with thorough sealing around joints. Pair it with a weather-sealed lens and you have Panasonic's full level of environmental protection.
