Olympus has announced that it will be exiting the Micro Four Thirds market, leaving many consumers wondering what this means for the future of the camera system. However, there are several advantages to sticking with Micro Four Thirds, even in the face of Olympus’ departure. For one, small cameras are often more practical and easier to carry around. The G100 is especially compact and lightweight, weighing just 412g with its 12-32mm kit lens. It’s much smaller than the Panasonic Lumix G9(opens in new tab), the top of the Lumix G series. ..

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G100 is a high-quality 4K/30p video camera that can also record full HD video at up to 120 frames per second. It has a 20.3 megapixel Live MOS sensor that can record high-quality 4K/30p video, as well as full HD video at up to 120 frames per second for dramatic slow-motion clips. For simplicity, Panasonic has placed all frame rate options, including up to 8x fast video modes, in the S&Q position of the camera’s mode dial. Time-lapse and stop-motion sequences can also be created in-camera with the Intervalometer settings. ..

The 5-axis hybrid image stabilization on the G100 is great for 4K shooting. With this technology, the camera can keep track of your shots and stabilize them so they look smooth and consistent.

The G100’s intelligent face detection and tracking algorithms can reliably identify and capture faces. This increases the depth of field, keeping both the face and background in focus.

The Panasonic Lumix GH5 is a great camera that has a full-motion LCD touchscreen. It’s bright and high-contrast, so it’s easy to see even in direct sunlight.
