Pros: 1) Build quality. 2) Color quality and B&N. 3) High level stabilization with consequent possibility of using long times. 4) Nice and versatile to use. 5) Tropicalized 6) V-Log and other interesting video settings. 7) Lots of affordable accessories and lenses including a very nice battery grip. 8) Exemplary instruction manual: complete, very well written and in Italian, deserves praise. 9) Charger supplied in box, ditto: deserves praise. Many don't wear it anymore. 10) The M 43 system has manageable costs

Cons: 1) The on/off switch looks a bit flimsy and "jerky" but works well 2) the screen doesn't fully render the real quality of the photos (the photos are better).

Opinion: By now with the Nikon Z30 I felt the lack of the viewfinder and the transition to the new Z50 would have been expensive. The trade-in with the Lumix G90 kit with the G 12-60 lens (24-120 equivalent!) was about even. It was a difficult choice but when I heard the sound of his first shots, I immediately knew that I was holding a high-precision and high-quality instrument in my hands, and this reassured me. With this camera I can do photography as with a film camera, with a closed screen, aiming only from the viewfinder. But if I want I can also make good quality videos (at least on paper - I haven't tried it yet) with the adjustable screen and all the jacks for microphones, headphones etc etc. It has, as a separately available accessory, for a fee, the battery grip that gives it an even more professional look. It comes with a charger in the box and the complete instruction manual in pdf that can be downloaded in Italian from the Panasonic website: both important added values in a period in which some brands do not give one or the other. The menu is the classic Lumix one, very clear, rich, schematic and simple. One of the features that surprised me the most is the "4k live cropping", in the video section, which allows you to program the movement of the frame within a fixed field with a fixed camera. I don't know if I've described it well but just look at the tutorials on YouTube. The 1.25 X magnification that generates (only) in 4K video, in my opinion, has been designed for use with the Lumix G 20 mm f/1.7 lens which - when calculations are made - becomes a 50 mm (corresponding FF). Speaking of the mythical Micro 4/3 sensor... Many critics say that it has difficulty in bokeh but in the photos I have published it is evident that the G90 is able to generate the bokeh effect both on panoramic photos (note the difference in focus between the ship and the background, in the first night photo at distances of 800 meters - 1km and 1/2), as well as on macro photos (see flowers and berries) or at medium distance (tree and bench). With the appropriate adjustments and in certain situations it generates a really beautiful b&w with a fairly sharp black and white and with shades of gray that seem drawn and shaded in pencil: I liked them very much. As for the dynamic range of light and color it seems to be doing quite well - I still have to practice. The quality of the screen does not help in the precise evaluation of the real quality of the photos, especially if I zoom in. I always check on computers. It holds up to ISO 6800 well and the stabilization of the sensor combined with that of the G lens allows you to shoot with rather long times handheld without blur. The battery is a bit small and doesn't last very long with normal/intense use but if you adjust the power saving and only use the auto-off viewfinder, with the screen closed, as I did, it lasts much longer. Without energy saving (I didn't know it yet) it lasted several hours with the car almost always on (in longer breaks I turned it off). The physical on/off switch feels flimsy and "jerky" but it works. Beautiful, powerful, tiny, lightweight and affordable G optics. It can be fitted with Lumix G, Leica, Zuiko lenses, etc. To reduce the noise from underexposure I applied the menu functions "rid. long shut" and "comp. diffr.". I had been asked to buy it for a couple of years. I finally got it and it was worth it. It's one of my best purchases at the moment.

Pros: Dimensions, ergonomics, functionality

Cons: Autofocus

Opinion: The G90 could be my ultimate machine. It has the right dimensions, an almost perfect ergonomics (holding it in my hand I can fit the handle as if it were a glove) and has all the features that an amateur photographer needs. Why won't it be my ultimate camera for sure? Well, mainly because Panasonic's autofocus is really painful. Luck wants that with the m4/3 using manual focus is much less problematic. And then the sensor, although good, now begins to feel the weight of the years, especially on the resilience of the highlights. Overall a great camera, recommended for all photographers. A little less to the most demanding videomakers.

Pros: Eclectic camera, it does everything and does it well. Ideal size, neither too large nor too small. Light, but well built. Excellent ergonomics and arrangement of buttons / controls. Operating speed. Last Menu inherited from G9. Built-in Flash.

Cons: Excessive cropping in 4K. DFD with some limitations. 'Old' rear LCD display. Automatic white balance for my taste not perfect, but easily calibrated. Battery discreet, but improvable. Price at launch too high.

Opinion: What can I say, I had both the G80 and the G9 and the G90 tries to place itself in the middle scopiazzando the little sister while maintaining weights and above all dimensions of the G80. As always happens in these cases in order not to make excessive competition to the excellent G9 in Panasonic they have deliberately castrated it. Compared to the latter, in fact, the AF has a few less options; sometimes not very precise, but I noticed that it depends a lot on the selected focus mode and also on the lens you use. In AF-S he rarely gets it wrong. Let's say that at the base of this speech there is always the fact that Panasonic insists on using the DFD and to date, despite being overall a good AF system, it is not the best that the market offers. Compared to the G80 they have improved the keys (especially some, the most used ones) that are now not flush with the body and therefore feel more easily to the touch. One refinement I appreciated is the choice of three different keys for WB/ISO/Exposure Compensation... they are in fact one raised and convex, one with two small protuberances, one smooth plate; in this way only by touching them you will understand where you are acting. One/two buttons I would have put them in a different position, but they are personal tastes. A criticism that I would like to make to Panasonic is to continue to use LCD panels now dated ... the EVF still does its homework, it is a fairly large discrete unit that allows you to photograph without any particular problems. The rear panel, equipped with an excellent touchscreen, is instead not very resolute (according to what should be the standards in 2020/2021) and in conditions of strong light that is not easily readable. So poor reproduction of color shades and low brightness in certain environmental conditions. I say, Sony does much worse with the obscene LCD panels that mounts on the A6xxx series and the first A7, unusable under the Sun, but I would have preferred that on this G90 and other models of the G and GH series Panasonic had started to mount more modern panels, perhaps with Amoled technology. An annoying thing for me is the crop in 4K, really excessive, in some circumstances it can be comfortable, but generally I find it more a limit than a value. It is clear that it was wanted not to step on the toes of the G9, but on this model also voted a lot to the video sector they should not have included it in my opinion. And speaking of the video side, the G90 is very complete, even for the evolved customer, even including LOG profile and unlimited duration of recordings. Only a professist who works with videos might prefer a GH5. Another Panasonic feature, more than the G90, concerns the automatic white balance, which has always not been perfect (better Olympus at this juncture), but improved with the latest models; it has a tendency to introduce one too many magenta drizzle for my taste, but it is always calibrable at will. What else to add... it is a multifaceted camera, you can do everything, I took it precisely because of these characteristics. Reliable, always ready, it is the companion who never betrays you. Highly customizable, you can really sew it on you once you have programmed the keys (even virtual, on display) and the rings. The Menu inherited from the G9 is really good and thanks to the MyMenu section you practically avoid having to look for options in the many pages. The sensor is the classic 20 MP that for years has been the standard in the Micro 4/3, for my needs I find it more than enough. I conclude by saying that in my opinion it represents one of the most sensible choices for those who love the Micro 4/3 and need a versatile, practical and reliable camera. Its only real 'defect' concerned the price that brought it dangerously close to the G9, but already today it has settled on values more suitable for its range of belonging and later it will be even more a best-buy.

Pros: Size within micro43; compactness and grip; display and layout of controls.

Cons: Af sometimes dancer

Opinion: As a amateur I bought the g90 for a few months considering whether to buy the G9. I'm feeling good, it's not too big although the grip is great reflex-like. Light, compact and robust, it resists splashes and dust, excellent video skills that does not hurt, same sensor as the g9 but lower price and latest machine. Profile photo bn interesting monochrome, good jpeg, raw workable, but I'm not too experienced in post prod. For those looking for reliable means and with good quality I would say right choice. Taken at 700 leotards with 4 years fowa for me occasion. The advice even for those like me who have small hands is not too bulky but fair

Pros: Port equipment (there's also the headphone jack), much improved video focus, VlogL profile, WB/ISO/Exposure physical buttons, tropicalization, stabilization, 20-megapixel sensor

Cons: weight and size increased compared to the G80, usb port type B and not C, lack of NFC

Opinion: Substantial evolution of the already excellent G80, the G90 is the mirrorless to beat for the high mid-range of the market. None at this price offers this quality and this endowment. I was particularly surprised by the contrasting focus, decidedly improved compared to the previous version chje was at the limit of decency in the videos. The G90 is not a Sony, but now the system works more than well. The Micro 4/3 is not a Full Frame, but it always has its advantages.
