If I'm not mistaken, the HX99 has a pop-up viewfinder that might seem flimsy. Panasonic makes the Lumix DCZS80 which is similar with a solid viewfinder. It might be a shade larger. I love mine. For a model with a much larger sensor, the DMC-ZS100 or -ZS200D is available, 'tho with a lesser zoom.
I bought a Lumix DC-ZS80 after reading some comments on here. I take it to concerts where they don't allow cameras with a removable lens. I really like the long optical zoom (30x, 24-720mm) and it shoots great video (4K). The photos I take are quite noisy from pushing the ISO at an indoor concert, but a little Topaz DeNoise goes a long way.
Here's a photo from a recent Eric Johnson show. We were in the 5th row.
