Panasonic has quietly announced the successor to the Panasonic G100 camera, and it’s called the Panasonic G100D. We were expecting the new G100D to feature phase detection autofocus, but unfortunately, it only comes with minor updates, which is quite disappointing.
Here are the two updates we’ve noticed in the new Panasonic G100D camera:
| Feature | G100 | G100D |
| EVF | LCD (3.68M dots, 0.73x magnification) | OLED (2.36M dots, 0.74x magnification) |
| USB port | Micro USB | USB-C |
| Release date | May 2020 | December 2023 |
| Price | Generally slightly cheaper | May be slightly more expensive |
Sadly, the minor update is a real disappointment. We hope and expect that Panasonic will understand the value of entry-level content creators. As we all know, the Sony ZV-E10 camera contributes to 50% of Sony’s total camera sales. If Panasonic can effectively implement a proper PDAF sensor in their cameras, they will surely gain a significant market share. However, if they continue to ignore this and keep offering lower specifications in their entry-level range, who will buy this camera? We are not going to recommend this camera in our reviews. So, who will?
