The Panasonic Lumix G100 is one of our favourite vlogging cameras. This portable and lightweight Mirrorless camera puts a premium, not just on still image and video quality, but also on the audio quality that can be captured. In a world-first for an interchangeable lens camera, the G100 features OZO audio, which utilises 3 microphones to capture pristine quality sound. The Lumix G100 features a tilting LCD screen, which unleashes a video selfie mode when the screen is flipped out to face the user, as well as smooth 4K resolution video. 5-AXIS Hybrid Image Stabilisation keeps results smooth and blur-free, while still image quality is also sublime, thanks to the camera’s 20.3MP MOS sensor which lacks a low pass filter for maximum detail.
