Lumix DC-G100D

Name: DC-G100D
Brand: Lumix
Availability: InStock

The Lumix DC-G100D is Panasonic's vlog-focused Micro Four Thirds camera — a small, lightweight mirrorless body designed for content creators who want better image quality than a smartphone without carrying a full-size interchangeable lens camera. Unlike the original G100, the G100D adds phase-detect AF for improved subject tracking, while retaining the built-in directional audio, fully articulating touchscreen, and the lightweight MFT lens ecosystem. At under 350g body only, it is the smallest AF-capable MFT body available.

GearFrame's Take

The lightest capable MFT mirrorless for vloggers — phase-detect AF, directional audio, and the full Lumix lens ecosystem under 350g.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
