Panasonic Lumix Cameras

Updated October 2026

Panasonic started the LUMIX brand in 2001 and worked with Leica on lenses from the beginning. Some Panasonic cameras have even been sold in Leica-branded versions.

The G series is Micro Four Thirds, so the bodies are compact and the lenses are interchangeable with OM System/Olympus ones. The S series is full-frame, on the L-Mount that Panasonic shares with Leica and Sigma. There are also compacts, including the long-zoom TZ/ZS travel cameras.

If video matters to you, Lumix is worth a close look. Video creators have liked these cameras for years.
