Good lumix camera, why i like lumix camera because of the color science and alot of cool feature.for the focus its okay. stabilization is quite good after i update the software. But the 4k have crop ,not too good to vlog with 4k but filming/ordinary recording (not vlogging) 4k is useable, but recommended to buy body only and the 1260 lens,(for HDMI it quite annoying that when i using HDMI the screen will turn off , no settings can change it , it have clean hdmi tho ) for the design it look like a new generation design like the s5, looks like a mini s5 but its MFT, thats all for my experience ,overall its good to buy it if u dont care about 4k cropping.(i rlly hope lumix can update a software to disable the screen turn off after plugin hdmi and some auto focus improvement) if i am right i think the video time limit can be hacked to unlimited Lol

Pros

  • Colour science
  • Good image qulity
  • sound quality good
  • compact

Cons

  • 4k 10 minute limit
  • 4k crop
  • Screen will turn off after plugin hdmi

Panasonic Lumix DC-G100
Panasonic Lumix GX7
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
screen resolution

1840k dots

1040k dots

A higher screen resolution provides a sharper image, making it easier to review your photos.
EVF resolution

2764k dots

An electronic viewfinder (EVF) with a higher resolution provides a sharper image, producing a view comparable in quality with the one displayed on an optical viewfinder.
has a built-in focus motor
Panasonic Lumix DC-G100
Panasonic Lumix GX7
The focus motor moves the lens in order to autofocus. For system cameras, having a focus motor in the camera's body allows you to use a wide range of lenses, including lenses which do not have their own focus motor. For compact cameras, a focus motor is usually built-in.
Has a flip-out screen
Panasonic Lumix DC-G100
Panasonic Lumix GX7
Flip-out screens can be useful for tricky shots.
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.

Optics

sensor size

Micro Four Thirds

Micro Four Thirds

One of the most important aspects of a camera is the size of its sensor. A larger sensor will capture more light, which results in improved low-light performance, dynamic range, and general image quality.
lens mount

Micro Four Thirds

Micro Four Thirds

The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
maximum ISO

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Panasonic Lumix DC-G100)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Panasonic Lumix GX7)

With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
maximum expanded ISO

25600 ISO

25600 ISO

Expanded ISO allows you to go beyond the native ISO. It does this by digitally enhancing the image output. The resulting image will have less quality than when staying within the native ISO range, but it can be useful in certain situations.
has sensor shift stabilization
Panasonic Lumix DC-G100
Panasonic Lumix GX7
With sensor shift, the image sensor (rather than the lens) moves to counterbalance any vibration of the camera. This means the image will be stabilised regardless of what lens is being used.
The number of frames per second that can be captured in continuous drive mode when using the mechanical shutter.
has AF tracking
Panasonic Lumix DC-G100
Panasonic Lumix GX7
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

Videography

video recording (main camera)

2160 x 30 fps

1080 x 60 fps

The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
Has phase-detection autofocus for videos
Panasonic Lumix DC-G100
Panasonic Lumix GX7
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
has continuous autofocus when recording movies
Panasonic Lumix DC-G100
Panasonic Lumix GX7
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
has a microphone input
Panasonic Lumix DC-G100
Panasonic Lumix GX7

With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
has a stereo microphone
Panasonic Lumix DC-G100
Panasonic Lumix GX7
A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.
Has timelapse function
Panasonic Lumix DC-G100
Panasonic Lumix GX7
A timelapse shows a long passage of time sped up. A series of photographs taken from the same position over a long period is joined together to create a short video. It is great way to capture things like the setting sun, or clouds moving across the sky.
movie bitrate

100 Mbps

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Panasonic Lumix GX7)

The higher the movie recording bitrate the better the movie quality with more and crispier details and less compression artifacts.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
