Panasonic G100

Pros: Compactness and solidity of the body. Photo quality (with the right optics), very good video side (apart from the cropped 4K) and a great versatility of use.

Cons: AF video can be improved (in line with other Panasonic), 4K with crop factor too pushed and lack of stabilization at the height.

Opinion: I bought this machine to have compactness and quality, also attracted by the use of video. I must say that instead I was very positively surprised by its use in the photographic field: combined with the right fixed optics (I mount the Lumix 15mm, the 20mm and the Nocticron 42.5) is giving me great satisfaction, in terms of depth of field yield and quality of RAW. I previously had an Olympus OMD and this Lumix is much superior to her in terms of plasticity, contrast, colors and a certain retro touch. Much more solid and manageable, with a good viewfinder (although improvable) and a crazy screen, completely articulated and very valid as a "touch response". From the video point of view I expected a small Gh5 (which I have been using for years with satisfaction for work), but apart from the idea of improving the audio with Nokia system, I find it in all respects inferior to the "big sister": the 4K is not comparable (very good instead the full HD of this G100), the workability of the files lower (I have not yet tried the V-Log), The stabilization is very lacking especially in motion and panning, the autofocus always very uncertain. I do not use it for vlogging, but I will try to use it as a second machine, perhaps with Ronin, despite the limitations of duration of the recordings (why??!) and the low yield in low light conditions. I can always carry it with me, very comfortable and well balanced with semi-wide-angle lenses (between 28 and 35mm corresponding on FF) compact and / or pancakes. The battery life is poor, but I have already purchased 3 extra batteries, which are small and portable. This small Gh5 has an excellent photographic yield (I repeat, I know), sensor quality and a complete mirrorless charm ... and usually photographer with Canon full frame. It could be revolutionary and up to Sony's for video, but it suffers from limited professional use and some really irritating system blocks (or limitations). For two reasons: it lacks headphone output (again, but why??!) and has no valid HDMI. I would recommend it for the relative use that I have done so far. I thought it would be uncomfortable as ergonomics and keys, I absolutely have to change my mind. Carrying it with you is really a pleasure, it makes photography simple and impactful. Waiting at the gate the G100 Mark 2 ;)
