    I think Panasonic’s marketing department goofed by emphasizing the vlogging (which the ZV1 does better) and not pushing the general content creation in a tiny package (which the G100 does better than the ZV1). You cannot beat interchangeable lenses and a bigger sensor when it comes time to getting creative. Try putting a vintage lens on the ZV1, for example. The G100 can do true 1:1 macro, stop motion animation, shift lenses, long telephoto, ultra-wide and fisheye. The ZV1 is a one trick pony while the G100 has lots of tricks up its sleeve. Sadly, Panasonic failed to communicate that in any effective way. I love it, but not for most vlogging.

It has a 6+ analog range, awesome no 3k investment to be able to record with computers and software, audio interface and more. Also you can do longer recording by using the right memory, sdhc not sdxc.

    Thanks to the negative reviews this camera is now available for 500€ with the kit lens and the tripod. That's a very competitive price point: 200€ less than the the Sony Z-V1. Panasonic also released updates that solve some of the issues with AF.

      @@TsvetanVLife It's not a joke. It's basically a smaller G7 with newer sensor. And G7 was used a lot as a vlogging camera. Want IBIS, go for heavier and more expensive G90 even G9. Also, with better lens this camera should work way better as a vlogging tool. And I think that this audio system that they have makes headphone output redundant. Because camera control levels automatically so you can record video without monitoring the audio.

Only Sony can do phase detect almost ideally. All other camera manufacturers have some half-assed version of it. And also, PDAF sensors can diffract light and introduce artifacts like bending and striping. Contrast detect don't have this problem. This is probably the reason why Leica cameras use contrast only AF.

  • @Serenoj69
    @Serenoj69 4 года назад +3

    I would buy the panasonic even though I dislike the loss of that good IBIS they have in other cams. The reason is that it far more flexible. Sure you get a soso kitlens at least when it comes to speed. But you can add a Sigma F1.4 56 mm and it is a good portrait cam. You can add well a 20 mm f1.7 which is still tiny. A 42,5 mm f1.7 Panasonic is a very small good portrait lens. And we can go on and on an on. The IQ out of these combinations are just a lot better than Sony's kit lens will ever get you. Also an EVF or not is a big one. With the full sun an EVF is always nicer but also for action shooting (stills). Too bad you did not test how well this DFD works wiht action photo's but if it is as good the G9 than it is very capable. COmpared to a Em1.2 or a G90 it is also a lot smaller and a but lighter.

    Hi Gordon, thanks for the nice video. Always enjoying those.
    As for the camera I actually quite like the feature set of the G100. As an entry level G camera it makes sense to me. Viewfinder and swively screen are brighter and larger than the one of the only competitor EM10 III. The micro setup is great, if you are an occasional video guy and don't want to buy and fiddle around with an external mic. The body is very small and solid enough. Of course a G90 or G9 can do "more" and/or "better". If my GM5 would ever break I might buy this as a replacement.

    Spatial audio and tripod are very interesting. Just checking the specs, the battery is the same as the LX100, and the US kit already(!) has $50 off the tripod kit so it's effectively free. The G80-series also works with the tripod, so that would be cheaper, with less 4k crop and IBIS - albeit without the aspect ratio control or the high-res low-reflection sensor.

    It seems like it's in a bit of a no-mans-land, It's a good experiment of a new mic system and innovation is always welcomed, however, I feel it's not a sufficient USP to get it flying off the shelves. The lack of IBIS is understandable but I think too large of a flaw. The Panasonic G7 was my first tentative step into 4k and the m43 system and I could make up for the shortfalls for the most part with a gimbal and my years of using manual focus, I've even used it on professional gigs as the picture quality with good lighting has been that good. I hope m43 brings out something soon to shock the industry such as TOF focus, however, I think the R6 will probably get the shock title due to price point but certainly, it's an interesting time.

    As an owner of GX85 I can say that GX85 it's much much better than this shit... no IBIS !!!! Lumix is famous for its IBIS!!! Also, the quality of the video is a mess comparing to GX85. You pay a flip screen, a better audio and a useless huge EVF ?? Am i the only one who think Lumix copied the design of canon m50??? Totally disappointed.. I hope that release will awake Lumix and look forward to the future.

    Panasonic are going the same way as Olympus. They remind me of Nokia sticking with their own useless operating system and then swapping to an even more useless one and then going out of the mobile phone business. I simply can not believe they haven't got a working video auto focus system in 2020! They produce a wonderful new full frame system and repeat the SAME mistake of no phase detect focus. "Madness is repeating the same thing and expecting different results" - there really isn't any point in reviewing Panasonic cameras for video when you see they haven't got phase detect on the spec sheet. I have many Panasonic cameras for stills but none for video as I need reliable non pulsing auto focus.

    The GX80 and GX9 are small and have IBIS. Panasonic could've included IBIS, without it I don't think this works for the intended purpose. The G90 is better or save some money and get a G80.
    The OZO is interesting, I used to have a Nokia 8 that had it, clever tech.
    The EVF on this G100 is ugly and pointless for vloggers.

    6:53 the white balance is greenish as Gordon looks a little green. Also when Gordon rotates, you can see the image stabilizer jumping the background so it's trying to hold onto the background lock which is a hugely annoying thing with electronic stabilization and movies. The 3 mics seem to only help in the behind-the-camera mode.

    Interesting audio options. (I just wish you had tested the surround mode by turning the camera all the way round while talking). The “tracking” mode certainly didn’t do a very good job of tracking you: I don’t know about the audio level, but the high frequencies were dulled a lot as you panned to the side. I could be wrong, but that didn’t seem to be as bad in the “front” mode.
    By the way, I did notice your hoarse voice - especially in the outdoor scene. You also didn’t look quite as happy as your normal self. I hope you’re alright. Best wishes, Gordon!
