Point-n-Shootout - Sony DSC-HX99 Vs. Panasonic DC-TZ95 

GREAT video, Emil. Thank you for all the different scenarios and tests. It's super appreciated.

Many thanks for the hard work that you put in to making this very educational and helpful comparison between the two cameras. Keep up your hard work and many thanks again.

Good review. Thank you - I've been looking at these 2 cameras, so found it useful.

amazing review of both!

Thanks for the thorough comparison!

Thank you, these are the unbiased in-depth videos we like!

Thumbs up for such a detailed video. It sort all venues to diffentiate between both these caneras.

that's a great review, I find this videos so useful, and you give a lot of photos and videos comparing. I'm still not decided, but it's helpful to know both cameras will do it for me. Thank you! I

Thank you very much for this video. Good work

Really nice you made this comparison video. Hard to find these, as most test only more expensive cameras.

Funny how I was also struggling to find this exact same comparison, and I was seriously considering these two models. Many thanks for uploading this, it's been very useful. In 2023 the choice of affordable compact superzoom cameras is sadly low. Based on your opinions though, I think the Sony wins in most areas and will most likely be the one I buy.

Extremely helpful, thank you!

good content. the video quality of DSC-HX99 is amazing.

Great review! Thank you

Thanks for your honest comaprison, waiting for next video

thank you for the review it helped me a lot

It’s such a good review. Thank you. Which one would you suggest for a concert where I will be sitting all the way back and it might be a bit dark as well?

Great comparison! Very useful! Are there any similar cameras worth considering buying? I am a bit concerned about low light performance but it kind of seems that this is a sacrifice that must be made when going for a compact camera with large zoom.

Great video. Iliked it very much.

Thank you for all the effort you put in to this review .I was amazed to learn that it was your first video review and first two-camera comparson as the methodology etc was very well organised. I am considering these two cameras. I urrently have a TZ19 (16x optical zoom). lthough their 30x zoom is an attraction of these cameras, the feature that made me think of changing was the EVF. I've never really got used to framing a shot with the LCD screen (it's like a phone!) - plus therr's the issue of using the LCD in bright light. I think the smaller case of the Sony (about the same size as my TZ19) is also an important factor. You touch on the EVF's of these two cameras but I wonderd how usable you found either of them and whether they can be regarded a first option for photography or just for occasion use eg in bright conditions. I'm not the that bothered about the video, by the way,just stills.

Thanks for this great and very useful comparison. In your summery for the Pana there is a very annoying constant rattling noise. Can you tell where that comes from? Was there some kind of attachment on the camera?

hey. I want to shoot ski videos in the mountains. From one peak to another, gonna use zoom between 3-20 and wanna record in 60fps. Need to choose between these two and have the offer for panasonic 2 times cheaper. Will it do the work or is it better to go for sony? I am very concerned to not lose focus on the skier and have good stabilisation with the zoom.

Thanks you ! Very detailed!

Do u think that the tz95d will be good on night shots for some cases? cuz i want a camera which can take photos at night in some moments, and im not deciding between tz95d and canon eos 2000d, which one would u recommend me? Please respondme Ill appreciate it 🙏🙏

Thank you for your review I picked the Panasonic 80 in silver

Great comparison,the Sony images look nicer and more natural to me,but the pana has better ibis,what do you think?

Lysande, just ett par kameror som står på min lista. Jag är förvånad över att Sony’n förefaller vara lite bättre på flera punkter, bättre ljud och färg med mera. Tack, bra genomgång!

Am i the only one or the sony seems to better in sound and image quality….?

Very good video!

Great review! What do you think about photos in external areas by night? Which is better?

Great review. Thank you. Although a bit difficult to hear at times from wind.

Nice review! Which one would you prefer for shooting action like kids' sports?

Does the TZ95 crop the video on 4K? I have searched everywhere and cannot find if it gives 24mm wide angle video or crops into it for stabilisation.

The filming inside and the panning test says it all. In playback on my tv and on my tablet the Sony performed way better than the Panasonic. I wanted to buy the TZ95 but after seeing your vid i bought the HX99.

hello sir.I have panasonic tz90 and when you are in 4k mode you can zoom until 4200mm with digital zoom.Can you tell me sony hx99 how much can you rich with clear zoom and digital zoom together?Also you think sony have much better quality both in video and image from panasonic?thank you!

Do you have link to those pictures? I'm looking for travel pocket cam right now. Thank you for extensive video and photo sample

I bought tz95 for a different reason… i’ve been using Sony for quiet awhile and wanna see different tech. Seems like tz95 got better image stabilization with its OIS vs ZV1 / Rx100vii… maybe due to the small sensor but it does make a lot of difference when shooting at 720mm… still in low light environment I would still go with a full frame

Every camera this size is a compromise. Everyone has to decide for themselves what features are most important. I just ordered a (used) Panasonic ZS200 based on reviews. 24-360mm focal length, 1" sensor. I haven't received the camera yet, but 360mm and consistent image quality may be better than 720mm and so-so performance.

Hello, I want to buy some camera for next year, I like more hx99 because of his design but tz95 has more megapixels and resolution, and hx99 is oldest than tz95 which camera would u recommend me to buy?

What focal length does the Panasonic crop to in 4k? The Sony doesn’t crop at all?

I am planning to buy SonyHX99. Is it too late ? Should i consider smartphone like iphone 14. I read the specs and found that thes iphone14's sensor size is larger.

Very in-depth test. 👍👍👍 I'll go for the Sony

Appreciate your review! Neither look good fully zoomed?

Which one takes better stills in low light???

How is the sound for concert video's?

Great comparison. Thanks. Gave me a good idea. The tax restriction sounds really idiotic.

Hi, can you compare sony hx99 vs canon sx740hs? Or lumix tz95 vs canon sx740hs

Does the tz95 have better zoom?

Thumbs up and thumbs down count exactly the same in the algorithm. I appreciated this comparison enough to come find it on my computer to tell you that, after seeing the video on my tv where I can't comment or "like" because can't sign in (do to technical difficulties caused by google trying to force me to replace the chromebox I use for tv). Thanks making and sharing it!

Between those 2 camera's what is good for concert?

I’m new here. Wondering if sometimes you show “side by side” comparisons. ?? Meaning, show them both at the same time. Split screen. Then I can pause the video. Looking left and right. See which one has better blue sky colors. Green grass colors. Etc.. I care most about color science. How it renders. Contrast. Dynamic range. ~Thank you. 💁🏻‍♀️

Prices?

The recordings are unacceptable. Isn't there any manual settings ?

I just bought the Sony, prior to seeing this video. I guess I made the right choice 😅. This was a grade video. Har det så bra!

Hx99

Excelente comparación. Gracias.

The best thing i have noted i like better in the Panasonic, is that the TZ95 has Viewfinder, which the Sony dosent. And i prefer a cam to have such, in sunny weather etc. Ps: Udover det, super god anmeldelse Emil;)

Panasonic TZ95 Sony HX99 Nikon A1000 Which do you think is better？

It’s 2023 and no point and shoot camera that has a telephoto lens has decent stabilisation for video. Both of these cameras have micro jitters that deem them unusable

Sony sounds better. Lumix better picture quality
