This camera was almost exactly what I was hoping Panasonic was going to create. Coming from a g85 this was going to be more my speed. Smaller, lighter, compact, updated. I skipped the g7 because I thought IBIS was a killer feature, but after much personal use I find it barely affects my photography and rarely is strong enough to provide better video experience. I'm just not sold on it, personally.

Yet this latest rendition is simply a half-attempt from them. Where is proper shutter speed, quality 1080 slow-mo, uncropped 4k? I would have flipped right over to this instead of moving to a larger and higher level camera.

I really don't understand why so many market essentials were held back. I feel like Panasonic simply gave up and threw in the towel on this. It's almost silly because now we see markets for compact full frame, fixed lens full frame all in the name of convenience while keeping up with substance. This camera is such a disappointment when it seems it could have easily been something more. Sorry for the rant...

It designed for vlogging. Ibis is not needed because vlogging used gimbal. Vblogging don't used slow-mo and such.
