Panasonic LUMIX DC-G100D
Its 20.3MP Micro Four Thirds sensor and in-body stabilization produce detailed 4K video with quick autofocus, all in a portable 352g body. The upgraded 2.4M-dot OLED viewfinder, USB-C, and articulating touchscreen improve framing, while a 10fps burst and 25,600 ISO range provide low-light flexibility. Ideal for streamers and vloggers needing a compact 4K camera with good stereo audio and smartphone sharing, but not suited for fast-paced wedding events.
