Lumix G100 - Best travel camera of 2022? 

Hey Brian. Well I'm really happy that you disagree. Awesome that you can use it for professional work. Would love to see it! :-) All the best!

Hi @brianpritchard I was looking for a street/landscape camera. Did you have any experience at shooting in low light with the G100?

For this pro photographers a pro câmera is something that makes taking photos more difficult lol câmeras have to be big and heavy for these pseudo pro photographers

@@filipelollita806 facts. Most youtubers aren't even professional photographers. Just salesmen for brands. There is not a single camera that's made in this day and age that isn't capable of producing professional quality in stills and video.

I love my 15mm for street and stationery shooting and my 9mm for vlogging on the move.

I agree on this!!

Awesome. Glad to hear that man!

Agreed!

literally most displays dont even playback in 4k. 1080p is more than enough.

This is a good point. I shoot with a G95 which also shoots 4k with a 1.25x crop and around 1.4x with e-stab. I don't vlog and so for me, someone whose main use of 4k video is nature and wildlife, it's a bit like having a built-in teleconverter (that you can't remove 😂). Yes, you do lose some of the sensor area compared to full width (so you're shooting with something more like a 1" sensor area on the G95), and I do wish there were an option to shoot full sensor width 4k for short clips... that would be nice for some interior travel clips. Of course you can always shoot those in 1080p which is quite good on these cameras. But if you're not a vlogger shooting in 4k, the video crop might be less of a deal killer than many make it out to be, particularly if most of your video is in decent light. And we can often ask ourselves how much 4k is truly needed. Sometimes shooting 1080p60 is preferable because you've got an easy option for slow mo, you can capture a lot more footage given your storage space and battery, editing is faster and easier, and most videos will be watched on phones in 1080p anyway 😂. Additionally, I've mixed 4k and 1080p video together in videos and, depending on how you view them, it can often be quite difficult to tell which is which. Sometimes good enough is truly good enough. And sometimes what people think they need is not truly a "must have" but rather a "nice to have." Being flexible with "must haves" vs "nice to haves" can open some interesting options that you end up just as happy (or happier with) in the end.

Excellent point. Never thought of that!

much thanks for this recommendation, I have the 42.5 also and I am trying to decide on a small cam... worried about lack of IBS but have a lot of MEGA and POWER stabilized lenses. And I don't use the cam much under 1/100th second

I have a GX85 but really want tthe larger EVF and 20 megapix........... have a G9 but its heavy

Carina and the Big World thanks I will do my best!

Awesome mand!

I understand! Make sure to let me know what you think when you’ve tried it out😁

Not yet, but I’m looking very much forward to trying it! I’m already talking with Panasonic about it, so stay tuned ;)

I’m sorry, but I actually don’t know..

I just ordered a Godox transmitter for it, so I'll let you know when it arrives, thats a big question I have also!

Thanks man!

Pleasure man

Spændende overvejelser. Jeg har slet ikke prøvet det kamera. Men jeg ser frem til at se et review fra jer ;-)

@@rasmussmedstrup-lumixambas1546 Det kommer vi helt sikkert til at lave :-)

Daniel Overbeck thanks my mate

Maybe. The EVF on the GX9 is... well... it's not good. The best one can say is "it has an EVF and you can use it." Compared to the very good EVF on the G100. You do get IBIS which is nice if you shoot unstabilized lenses at slower shutter speeds - but not everyone does this - or if you use unstabilized lenses for video. The GX9 also has a tilt LCD for people who prefer that vs the articulating panel on the G100. You also get less crop 4k (1.1x vs 1.25x) if that's important - and it might not be. You also have another 100g of weight and an extra control dial with the GX9. Sadly, that rear control dial, useful as it is, can be failure prone and there are numerous reports of problems with this dial assembly for the GX9 as well as other models that use the same dial (GX85, GX7, GM5, etc.). Finally, GX100 has a built-in flash but its max sync speed is only 1/50s 😮👎 (only has electronic-first shutter vs full mechanical on GX9) vs 1/160s on GX9 and the GX9 built in flash can be pulled back with your finger and bounced off the ceiling for indirect light which is truly awesome 👍.

@@mmartel great points/comparison! Completely agree about the EVF and the G100 being lighter is quite a boon for me personally. Currently using a GX880 which is lighter/smaller still and has a screen that I prefer over either (and its single dial is faulty too!)

​@@MrJed_s I definitely appreciate the conundrum camera makers have to deal with when it comes to designing small cameras. Nobody wants the same thing! You've got those who prefer a GX880-style screen, those who prefer a GX9-style screen, those who prefer a G100-style screen. Some who care about a big nice EVF like on the G100, some who don't use the EVF at all except when the sunlight prevents them from seeing their screen so they want the smallest usable EVF possible to keep the camera small, and some who say don't bother with an EVF since they use the screen only. You've got those who say IBIS is critical and won't buy a camera without. You have others who say it doesn't matter that much and if it helps keep the camera small and light, get rid of it. You have some who say they need unlimited no-crop 4k30p (which would drive up cost and weight to handle the extra processing and heat), some who say they need unlimited 4k but don't mind a crop if it keeps the cost and weight down, some who say they want no-crop 4k30p and will accept a short record limit in exchange for keeping the cost and weight down. Which tradeoffs do you choose? As a camera maker, you'd love to bring every combination of camera you simply can't do it and still run a profitable business.

1/500 is actually pretty good for moving subjects, but to answer your question it has an efcs shutter up to 1/500, it goes way higher, but it's all electronic after 1/500.
