Budget cameras like Sony's ZV-1 are extremely popular at the moment, and now Panasonic is joining them with the Lumix G100 mirrorless camera with (almost) all the features a vlogger needs.
For starters, you can Panasonic Lumix G100 records videos in quality 4K with 30 frames per second or in 1080p quality with 60 frames per second. It offers a screen with a freely adjustable angle that rotates 180°, allowing you to see each other while simultaneously using an external microphone and tripod. We must not forget about five-axis hybrid image stabilizer (electronic and optical stabilization of the lens), with which we will compensate for the inevitable shaking that occurs when we walk, talk and record.
Other important functions for vloggers include a microHDMI output, 3.5mm jack for external microphone, but unfortunately it's not for headphones. It's very cool OZO Nokia sound system, which can isolate the sound to a specific person, which it does with the help of the facial recognition function. It is joined by another function Vlog-L, with which you can enrich the video in the montage with color processing and other functions.
The Panasonic Lumix G100 has a sensor with 20.3MP and a shooting speed of up to 10 frames per second (continuous autofocus) with electronic shutter or 6 frames per second with mechanical shutter. As usual, Panasonic uses contrast-detect autofocus for both video and stills, and offers subject tracking and face/eye detection.
All that said, the G100 looks like a perfectly solid choice for vloggers. You will have to pay for it around 700 euros.
