@Vitaliy...yeah, 'cept their AF is not as good.

The Panasonic G100 will be the world’s first Instragam friendly vlogger mirrorless camera! It means that when you hold the camera in vertical mode it will record video vertically! The camera will have special modes and appropriate video size options for Facebook, Youtube and Instagram.

And we all doubted Panasonic managers intellect. We should not do it anymore, as all is clear.

@zigizigi

Btw, did you see that Apple in recent keynote showed that new FinalCut X for ARM will be specially focused on vertical videos? I think it can be something similar with coronavirus, but more dangerous, that brings such ideas.

First images on a dutch site: https://www.partyscene.nl/gear/175347/vloggers-opgelet-jouw-rise-to-fame-is-nu-te-koop

Looks like the bastard son of a LX100 II (the back panel clerarly shows that the LX100 II was the starting base) and a Canon M50.

One thing that interest me in this camera is the spectcle we'll see from Panasonic representatives, ambassadors and "independent" reviewers.

Must be similar to recent Sony horror fest.

looks to me like they used sony as model...even their little bloggergrip aka mini tripod

It looks more like a7 series to me. Harder corners. Flat lines. M50 is rounded, but both have the large evf on top. If they were going to emulate some other line, it would be the a7, which btw I'd guess canon used also as inspiration.

Yeah Panasonic (camera) is not dead completely yet. But it will be.

Camera out. No IBIS, with EIS imposing huge crops BESIDES the additional 1,26x crop of the GX9 /G95, DFD, horrible ergonomics, stupid shutter unit, lack of controls. Could be a very interesting camera, but it is a pile of mistakes and cheap solutions.

It is the incompetence, the underdelivering and not listening to the customers that will kill the m4/3 format.

Panasonic Launches the LUMIX G100, its Newest Mirrorless Camera for Vlogging and Creative Video Content The compact, feature-packed camera features high sound quality produced by OZO Audio by Nokia

Newark, NJ – Panasonic today launched the LUMIX G100, a new Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera designed and developed for creating high-quality, versatile content.

Intuitive controls, visually engaging images and excellent sound quality are hallmarks of the new LUMIX G100, raising the bar for content production and user experience in the vlog camera category. Usability is further enhanced by its remarkably compact and lightweight design that doesn’t skimp on functionality and creative options.

The Logical Next Step from your Smartphone

With their limited sensor size and optics, a Smartphone can only take your creativity so far, the LUMIX G100 uses a smartphone crushing 4/3rds sensor that records smooth, high-resolution QFHD 4K videos in 3840 x 2160 resolution at 30p or 24p in MP41 and Full-HD at 60p. The five-axis hybrid I.S. (image stabilizer)2 in the LUMIX G100 provides effective shake suppression essential for capturing stable, easy-to-see video in scenarios such as walking or in a moving vehicle. In addition, the new Video Selfie Mode easily captures both the videographer and background in crisp focus without adjustments of aperture that changes with the lens each time.

Adopting a static-type touch control system, the 3.0-inch free-angle rear monitor with 1,840K-dot high resolution makes it easy to compose selfies as well as shots from a high or low angle. Convenient shooting assist functions allow the Frame Maker to check the composition during recording in various popular aspect ratios such as 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 4:5, 5:4 and 9:16. The REC Frame Indicator displays an eye-catching red frame so that videographers can recognize whether the camera is recording or not at a glance.

Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 10 minutes with [MP4] in [4K]

When using an interchangeable lens (H-FS12032) released before this camera, update the firmware of the lens to the latest version

High Sound Quality Supported by OZO Audio Technologies

The LUMIX G100 integrates OZO Audio by Nokia for high-quality spatial audio recording, a first for a Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera.* Engineered for universal playback and shareability across the world’s most popular social media platforms, the OZO Audio enables users to capture and edit the full richness of sonic life with vibrant accuracy and precision. It sets a new standard in innovative audio solutions for user-generated content. Three microphones record clear, vibrant sound with outstanding images, for example a dynamic landscape with immersive, realistic sound; interviews with clear speech; or easy, on-the-scene coverage by the videographer with easy mode selection. Combining Panasonic and Nokia OZO Audio technologies, the LUMIX G100 also offers a tracking feature that continues tracking the voice of the subject. Auto mode automatically recognizes the best setting and switches between tracking and surround modes.

High Potential and Unlimited Expression

The new LUMIX G100 integrates a 20.3MP MOS Sensor without Low Pass Filter, which features higher resolution and a larger size than found in smartphones. Realizing maximum ISO 25600 high sensitivity, even images captured at night or low light are clear. In addition, the large sensor enables beautiful defocusing in the background, and the Venus Engine assures high-speed, high-performance image processing. Impressive 4x*/2x slow and 8x/4x/2x quick FHD motion footage and time lapse shots are captured with ease.

Advanced videographers will appreciate the V-LogL recording capability; users can apply the LUT (Look Up Table) of their choice on the recorded V-LogL footage via a PC to create a differentiated video with subtle colors and moods.

Features such as the 4K technology, along with the 3,680K-dot equivalent center-aligned viewfinder, allow users to capture 4K PHOTO shots, excelling in performance and function for photo shooting. Able to save spontaneous shots by just selecting the frame out of a burst file sequence, users will never miss a moment.

Easy Connectivity via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and HDMI

The LUMIX G100 integrates Bluetooth and Wi-Fi® 2.4GHz (IEEE802.11b/g/n) connectivity to offer a more flexible shooting experience and easy instant image sharing. A dedicated upload button controls video and photo transfer to a smartphone via Panasonic’s LUMIX Sync app for iOS / Android. Users can also use their smartphone as a remote control to capture video and photo.

Compatibility with Bluetooth 4.2 (called BLE: Bluetooth Low Energy) enables constant connection with a smartphone/tablet with minimum power consumption and can activate the camera by using a smartphone/tablet or automatically add geotagging photos.

HDMI allows video output via The LUMIX G100, or it can be used as a webcam that provides exceptional image quality with rich depth of field and high quality sound for streaming in combination with an HDMI video capture device.

It is not possible to stream live in 4K. While using the HDMI output function, video cannot be recorded.

A separate streaming software for PC is required.

Compact, Lightweight Design Even with Tripod Grip

Despite its high performance and selection creative functions, the LUMIX G100 is portable, compact and weighs only 412 g, even with the LUMIX G VARIO 12-32mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S.(H-FS12032) lens. A new Tripod Grip DMW-SHGR1*4 makes it even easier to hold the camera or can be used as a compact tripod. Connecting with the camera via USB allows the user to start/stop video recording, release the shutter and enable/disable sleep mode. The camera’s battery can be recharged either via AC or USB according to the user’s convenience.

Tripod Grip is bundled in DC-G100V kit. It is also sold separately.
