Focal points

Despite its compact size and entry-level price, the G100 packs plenty of useful features

Viewfinder

The large, highresolution 3.68m-dot equivalent EVF is extremely impressive, especially at this price point.

Flash and flash sync

As well the tiny pop-up flash which has a guide number of 5.1 at ISO 100, there is a hotshoe. However flash sync is only 1/50th sec.

Battery

Powered by the DMW-BLG10E battery, the G100 is rated for 250 shots per change with the EVF. Engaging the Power Save mode can extend this to 900 images.

SD card

Images are recorded to SD cards, which slot into the battery compartment. But there is no speed advantage to be gained by using UHS-II cards.

USB 2.0

On the side of the camera there is a Micro USB port that can be used either to charge the battery, or to connect the DMW-SHGR1 grip.

Connections

As well as USB 2.0 there is also a 3.5mm microphone socket for audio capture and a Micro HDMI for video output. Sadly there is no headphone socket.
