The Lumix G97 only has a few new features compared to the G91 from 2019. Nevertheless, it offers attractive functions such as the integrated image stabiliser. The 4K photo functions, which Panasonic has omitted from newer cameras, can still be found here. The fact that the camera is no longer quite up to date can be seen in the autofocus, which is not capable of phase detection, and the not very fast...

It is only in low light and at high ISO settings that the fine details are increasingly lost...
