Product Highlights:

Starting with the successor to the G95, the new Lumix G97 camera retains a familiar design with welcome upgrades. Now you’ll be able to review images with even more detail with the 1,840k-dot free-angle LCD, which supports viewing from a variety of angles. This LCD design is particularly beneficial if you’re recording yourself or if you need to capture at extremely low or high angles that don’t allow viewfinder usage. USB-C support is now available, adding convenience and continuity with most other modern cameras. Bluetooth 5.0 is provided for considerably faster data transferring, longer range, and greater power efficiency. Paired with the body is the Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, which provides a 24-120mm full-frame equivalency and an exceptional zoom range that ensures you’re covered for most subjects. Additionally, both a 3.5mm headphone jack and 3.5mm microphone input are available for bettering audio capture.

Like its predecessor, the Panasonic G97 features a 20.3MP CMOS sensor and Venus Engine processor for producing sharp still imagery and impressive UHD 4k video with low noise. The built-in 5-stop 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 system provides added stability and prevents camera shake from impairing image sharpness. To experience the full benefit of the stabilization system, compatible Lumix lenses featuring O.I.S. must be used. The LUMIX Photo Style feature allows you to fine tune your images without needing to bring them into outside apps, saving you time and giving you access to unique editing capabilities.

Product Highlights:

Now, onto a camera that certainly may turn heads because of how popular digital point-and-shoots are at the moment. The Panasonic Lumix ZS99 is a powerful pocket-sized zoom that provides a vast 30x zoom range. Available in black or silver, this sleek, travel-friendly camera is perfect for capturing concerts, sweeping landscapes, and intimate close-ups. The largest concern when shooting handheld at zoom ranges this distant is camera shake. To help compensate, Panasonic has incorporated a 5-axis HYBRID O.I.S. system into the ZS99. While you might expect a stationary LCD display, it’s instead tiltable, allowing whoever is facing the camera to see the 1,840k-dot monitor, making self-recording much easier. Universal USB-C charging and convenient sharing via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 round out this camera as a flexible and high-performing point-and-shoot option.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Julian Champagnie had a career-high 36 points and the San Antonio Spurs survived an injury scare to Victor Wembanyama, rallying to beat the New York Knicks 134-132 on Wednesday night in a rematch of the NBA Cup final.

Wembanyama finished with 31 points and 13 rebounds in 24 minutes before limping off the court with an apparent leg injury with under 11 minutes remaining. He returned to the bench in warmups in the final minutes.

New York's Jalen Brunson had 29 points, including a 3-pointer at the close of regulation after stripping Keldon Johnson of possession as he celebrated with San Antonio's bench. Karl-Anthony Towns and Jordan Clarkson added 20 points apiece for the Knicks, who had a three-game winning streak halted.

Wembanyama hobbled off the court unassisted with 10:32 remaining, heading to the locker room after injuring his left leg. He had soared to gather an offensive rebound over Towns and lost possession when he landed. Replays showed there was no contact, but Wembanyama’s left foot slid forward and his knee appeared to hyperextend.

Wembanyama returned to San Antonio's bench with 1:22 remaining, walking calmly and without a limp. It was a good time for the 7-foot-4 center to return. Wembanyama cheered from the sidelines as the Spurs held on to beat the Knicks to snap a two-game skid.

Champagnie scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, going 4 for 5 on 3-pointers, as San Antonio erased a double-digit deficit.

New York outscored San Antonio 28-27 in the second quarter, but it would have been much worse without Wembanyama. The 7-foot-4 center had 16 points in the second period.

Wembanyama brought the sell-out crowd to its feet with a one-handed slam off an alley-oop pass from Castle that cut New York's lead to 54-50. The Knicks responded with a 17-2 run following a timeout and Wembanyama's exit, including 14 straight points to cap the surge.

Wembanyama returned to help pare the deficit to 73-63.

Champagnie hit back-to-back 3-pointers, capping a 16-2 run that tied the game at 86 midway through the third.

Wembanyama made his 300th career 3-pointer, becoming the fastest to do so among 7-footers and accomplishing the feat in 138 games. That beat the previous mark of 141 games by Utah’s Lauri Markkanen.

Knicks: Host Sacramento on Thursday.

Spurs: At Indiana on Friday.
