What's your favourite small camera? The G100 or something else?

The 2 main flaws of this camera (had it for a year): 1) 1080p has large amounts of moiré; 2) the EVF optics are so bad. I wish they had released this camera without the EVF. I might look at the new one.

Merry Christmas, Marlene.
Thank you for all your videos and helpful content that is always consistent and, for me, always good.
Thank you.

It’s cool to see this camera getting some love. I used it for a while and had fun with it. I sold it due to lack of IBIS and the huge crop in on 4k. I look forward to your G9 my 2 video!

Thanks for giving this little camera some praise. I got mine a couple of weeks ago at a really good deal on Ebay but I was hesitant because of all the hate it was getting. I get really good results with it and I like the slow-mo video. Still learning mine. The EVF is amazing.

Thank you so much. Got a used one a few weeks back for street event photos. Works great, but now I have to try the video out.

Hi Marlene, actually seems to be a lot of fans of the g100 now. Markuspix quite liked from the beginning. Some good deals used as well! Loved those gm1 and gm5 cameras!

[mikebeasley]

Thanks Marlene I totally agree and also love my G100

[howardchud]

I used my G100 for a photo shoot in NYC (no video). I only took my 15mm. I was glad not to take my G9. A year ago I shot with my GX8. Because of thumb arthritis, the G100 weight is perfect. That was my main purpose for going small and not losing a full range of lenses.

[oscararrieta]

Ihave the G100 and I love it, even for still.

[AprilClayton]

I miss this camera and the other micro 4/3 gear I sold to get a Sony ZVE1 full frame. Looking at my videos and photos, G100 produced charming images. The Leica 9 mm was so nice on G100

[mortenhelliesen]

Nice video. Would love to see an example of a video done with it in the studio.

[Cyborgon]

I bought one yesterday and just waiting on it to arrive. Also bought the 15mm lens, cant wait.

[photobyTaps]

Thank you. I'm getting more interested in this camera. It seems the video autofocus is not really up to par

[laurentyarp]

I will get one to replace my GM5 as my every day camera but not in a hurry. I am glad the new G100 is coming: it means I can wait a little big longer before getting one.
The rotating screen will sure be a welcome improvement. It is the main reason, along with the size factor, for getting the G100 as a replacement to the GM5.

[marksmodellingmadness]

I didn't realise there was a new version of the G100 on the horizon. I'll check on our supplier to find out when it's due tho I'll be keeping my current G100 for the foreseeable future.
The usb-c upgrade is good but can it record to a hard drive thru it?
The G100 is a nice camera, good for most things in my opinion, and as a walk around pocket camera it is excellent. My lens of choice is the Olympus 17mm f1.8. I use mine mainly for stills as the image quality is practically the same as the G9. I did use it to film my dad as it's time to record his story last week. The video quality is only so-so but it's my fault for not turning on more lights (in photo/video light is your friend :)

[zaddy]

I am looking forward to your G9 II review.

[octaviomolina]

thank you! great forgotten travel camera. With kit lens, I love to travel with! Also use 20mm for street photography

[futurbits]

Hi Marlene, lovely channel.. I couldn't find definitive info on if the the G100 works smoothly with the new Lumix Sync app on an iPad for Live view + Control features with remote Start/Stop video recordings? Its very nice for some of the Sony ZV-E10 (I own) cameras to be able to use the 3rd part Monitor+ app on an iPad which adds false color, scopes and even LUT preview for video recording. Considering adding the G100 as a 2nd cam for EVF (everyday stills) and b-roll. Thanks!

[nikolasmokalis]

It’s the only camera really taking advantage of M43’s size benefits, I hear there’s a new one coming without many substantial upgrades, I hope that changes
