That's an interesting point, but if they wanted to improve the EVF (which it seems they did), it is a new model and hence they need USB-C.
G100 only has 1/50 sync speed, which can be a bit of a pain. A variable ND filter sorts that though. I find it also has excellent autofocus, a tiny bit slower in AF-C mode than say my G9, but still very good. I also like the jpeg output of the G100, every bit as good as the G9, & I really can't see any difference in higher ISO noise performance with it either. And I have looked/compared. Out of curiosity mainly. No, not going to get into a long winded & boring test thread, as I totally abhor them, and all the experts pipe up & tell you you're doing it wrong anyway. I bought my first one as a dedicated Ultrawide point & shooter for my PL 9mm & Laowa 10mm, liked it so much I bought another & took it travelling with me, along with the ultrawide combo. With a Lumix 12-35 f2.8II Which then gives you a little bit of speed, as well as image stabilisation. Great little combo. If you're really short for room, just leave one body behind & swap lenses like normal people, if not, take both. Another brilliant combo is with the Lumix 20mm pancake, & even the Sigma 30mm f1.4 Great fun. These were processed from raw in camera I think, transferred to my phone with the press of a dedicated button on the camera, then uploaded to a website. I didn't even take a tablet, or laptop with me. Just camera, & phone
It's fantastic fun when used with little, fast primes. I set mine to Aperture mode, auto ISO, set a reasonable minimum shutter speed and away you go. Set one of the control dials to exposure comp, & you have a brilliant little, light weight yet comfortable, high quality fixed lens point & shoot. That you can still change lenses with if you desire. Highly highly recommended.
Are you sure about that? My reading of the law is that if it's currently in inventory it will be grand fathered, but any products manufactured after 2024 must include USB-C and that includes existing SKUs. So if Panasonic has a bunch of G100s sitting in the warehouse in Eschborn, that's fine, they can sell them as is. If they want to do a new production run of them and sell them in the EU, they need to make sure it has USB-C.
I don't like the RX100 bodies, but you would be lying to yourself if you think the 24-70 f/1.8-2.8 lens on it doesn't hang with some of our premium zooms.
Thanks sound like what do looks like I will have to change my name from zurag to lazy
That seems like a straightforward answer but it's actually a bit complicated depending on what you want.
Unfortunately they did not fit the four dot flash connection that would have allowed the tiny fill-flash unit made for the GM5 to be powered from the camera body.
Yes this addictive fun-factor is what drew me in. Whilst we can agonise over specifications - actual in-use enjoyment is both hard to specify and revue properly.
It is only a blink flash rather like the built in one in the GM1 that was replaced by the evf in the GM5. Did roughly the same job. That little flash does the rounds a bit on eBay.
Here's a fun fact. My Lumix FL360L micro four thirds flash that I bought years ago, can be adjusted in the settings to show 135 format zoom focal lengths. Which align perfectly with my S5. No firmware update required. Exactly how long term are Panasonic thinking in regards to their planning in the camera business? It does make one wonder
Given that Panasonic makes some of the camera bodies for Leica, I am not surprised it works, or that it switches up automatically to the correct focal length when attached. Must use the same communication protocol...
What makes you think the FL360L is made by Sigma?
