Well, let’s compare the Sony ZV1 camera with the Panasonic G100 camera. Let’s see which one is a more suitable camera for Vlogging purposes. Let’s jump on the spec table of both to see the Major difference between the two.
1. Interchangeable lens vs Compact – Which one is better
Of course, Sony has given as a limited focal length of 27-70mm, whereas with Panasonic G100 we are getting 12-32mm lens which is more user friendly and covers more area/frame. So, Panasonic does have an added advantage of interchangeable lenses.

2. Panasonic G100 Camera features Larger Sensor
Panasonic G100 Camera features a larger M4/3 format sensor compared to Sony ZV1 Camera. The Sony ZV1 uses a 1-inch sensor. Both sensors feature the same resolution, but due to the larger sensor area, we may notice some significant advantage in Panasonic G100 Camera while shooting still images.
3. Missing Hybrid Autofocus
Panasonic G100 uses the same DFD AF system used by the Panasonic line-up of cameras. We know the DFD AF system is not as fast as we have a Hybrid AF system in the Sony ZV1 camera. And, one of the biggest disadvantages of DFD is it needs a good amount of light to acquire AF, otherwise, it will take a bot more time to acquire AF. So, if you are shooting vlogs in low-light environment
4. Customized AF Modes inside Sony ZV1 Camera for Vloggers
In Sony ZV1 camera we are getting a custom-tailored AF mo0des inside the camera. When you activated the product showcase mode the camera quickly acquires AF at products without any lag or hunting. So, the AF system of Sony ZV1 camera is more user friendly, accurate and fast.

Sony ZV1 Camera – With the Sony ZV1 camera we are also getting the HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) support, along with the BT.2020 color space, for recording within a wide color gamut and, in addition to S-Log2, S-Log3 is also available for producing an effective 14-stop dynamic range with increased grading control in the shadow to mid-tone regions of the image.
Panasonic G100 – V-Log L has been pre-installed and is used to capture a flat, neutral gamma curve well-suited for grading in conjunction with a LUT for greater control over color.

some additional features of the Sony ZV1 Camera made specifically for Vloggers.
6. Background Defocus
Background Defocus lets you immediately switch to the maximum aperture setting (f/1.8-2.8), using a custom button function, for isolating your subject using shallow depth of field and bokeh. Built-in ND filter benefits using this mode in bright lighting conditions by controlling overexposure.
7. Face-Priority AE
Face-Priority AE detects the subject’s face and adjusts the exposure to ensure the face is depicted in an ideal brightness, even if walking from a bright place into the shade. The AE technology also suppresses abrupt changes in exposure if the subject quickly turns away from the frame to eliminate unexpected blown-out or extremely dark shots.
8. Best Vlogging Camera between Sony ZV1 and Panasonic G100?
Fast Auto Focus is highly Important for Video – Sony ZV1 camera does super-fast AF while vlogging and also features custom-tailored AF modes for Vloggers. Panasonic DFD isn’t that fast and viewers may get annoyed to see your camera most of the time struggling for AF.
Both Cameras Uses OIS – Both camera image stabilization depends upon OIS [lens based optical image stabilization ]. And if you are a travel vlogger, I will recommend you to get a gimble for your camera if you buy any of these cameras. Panasonic makes worlds best on sensor IBIS system. But, to make the camera more compact they left the IBIS unit.
Panasonic G100 more Coverage but – Pasnonic G100 camera does cover more range (starting from 12mm to 32mm) which is standard vlogging range. Whereas Sony does have tight frame with a 24-70mm compact lens. But, by just having a better coverage area we are not able to recommend you the Panasonic G100 camera due to its slow AF speed and missing IBIS unit inside.
Sony ZV1 is a clear Winner – Sony ZV1 is designed for vloggers and does have many features inside which are specifically researched and developed by keeping vloggers requirements in mind.
Panasonic G100 camera finally announced by Panasonic. The core specs of the camera are more or less the same as we have told you a week ago. But, to make the vlogging camera body more compact Panasonic decided to keep the IBIS unit off from the camera. So. unfortunately in Pansonic G100 camera we don’t have advance IS mode like we do have in Panasonic G85
One of the most eye-catching features is ‘OZO’ directional microphones made by NOKIA specifically for Panasonic G100 camera. The built-in microphone also features subject tracking.
Video can be captured at 4K/30p and 24p for up to 10 minutes.
The 3″ LCD display is very bright and easy to see outdoors and it’s paired with a 3.68 million dots (equivalent) viewfinder. Is a field sequential EVF but Panasonic says it refreshes four times faster than, for less “color tearing”.
The DC-G100 will go on sale in late July at an MSRP of $749 when kitted with the ultra-compact 12-32mm F3.5-5.6 power zoom lens. Adding the tripod grip increases the price to $799.
Panasonic G100 Press Release
Panasonic Launches the LUMIX G100, its Newest Mirrorless Camera for Vlogging and Creative Video Content
The compact, feature-packed camera features high sound quality produced by OZO Audio by Nokia
Newark, NJ (June 24, 2020) – Panasonic today launched the LUMIX G100, a new Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera designed and developed for creating high-quality, versatile content.
Intuitive controls, visually engaging images and excellent sound quality are hallmarks of the new LUMIX G100, raising the bar for content production and user experience in the vlog camera category. Usability is further enhanced by its remarkably compact and lightweight design that doesn’t skimp on functionality and creative options.
The Logical Next Step from your Smartphone
With their limited sensor size and optics, a Smartphone can only take your creativity so far, the LUMIX G100 uses a smartphone crushing 4/3rds sensor that records smooth, high-resolution QFHD 4K videos in 3840 x 2160 resolution at 30p or 24p in MP4[1] and Full-HD at 60p. The five-axis hybrid I.S. (image stabilizer)[2] in the LUMIX G100 provides effective shake suppression essential for capturing stable, easy-to-see video in scenarios such as walking or in a moving vehicle. In addition, the new Video Selfie Mode easily captures both the videographer and background in crisp focus without adjustments of aperture that changes with the lens each time.
Adopting a static-type touch control system, the 3.0-inch free-angle rear monitor with 1,840K-dot high resolution makes it easy to compose selfies as well as shots from a high or low angle. Convenient shooting assist functions allow the Frame Maker to check the composition during recording in various popular aspect ratios such as 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 4:5, 5:4 and 9:16. The REC Frame Indicator displays an eye-catching red frame so that videographers can recognize whether the camera is recording or not at a glance.
*1 Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 10 minutes with [MP4] in [4K]
*2 When using an interchangeable lens (H-FS12032) released before this camera, update the firmware of the lens to the latest version.
High Sound Quality Supported by OZO Audio Technologies
The LUMIX G100 integrates OZO Audio by Nokia for high-quality spatial audio recording, a first for a Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera.* Engineered for universal playback and shareability across the world’s most popular social media platforms, the OZO Audio enables users to capture and edit the full richness of sonic life with vibrant accuracy and precision. It sets a new standard in innovative audio solutions for user-generated content.

High Potential and Unlimited Expression
The new LUMIX G100 integrates a 20.3MP MOS Sensor without Low Pass Filter, which features higher resolution and a larger size than found in smartphones. Realizing maximum ISO 25600 high sensitivity, even images captured at night or low light are clear. In addition, the large sensor enables beautiful defocusing in the background, and the Venus Engine assures high-speed, high-performance image processing. Impressive 4x*/2x slow and 8x/4x/2x quick FHD motion footage and time lapse shots are captured with ease.
Advanced videographers will appreciate the V-LogL recording capability; users can apply the LUT (Look Up Table) of their choice on the recorded V-LogL footage via a PC to create a differentiated video with subtle colors and moods.
Features such as the 4K technology, along with the 3,680K-dot equivalent center-aligned viewfinder, allow users to capture 4K PHOTO shots, excelling in performance and function for photo shooting. Able to save spontaneous shots by just selecting the frame out of a burst file sequence, users will never miss a moment.
