Autofocus terrible. Not at all easy to wade through menus.

I bought this camera for my Christmas present.  I bought it because it was on sale bundelled with two lenses and two batteries.  I don't shoot video, nor do I take selfies.  But, I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it is.  It has a sturdy feel and do like the flip and touch screen.  It has a 20mp sensor, which is enough for me.  It has a small form factor, which makes it a perfect travel companion.  I don't understand why it is widely disparaged.  Maybe I got a good copy? Beauty in things ...

INTRODUCTION Whilst not without its critics, the Lumix G100 could appeal to anyone keen to enter Panasonic’s world of Micro Four Thirds system cameras, especially he or she looking to keep things as compact and lightweight as possible without compromising on image quality. Even some long-term and well established users of the system may be tempted by the appeal of this model, too. Before I continue with this review, allow me to first give some insight into why I bought the G100 in November ...

The Panasonic LUMIX G100 is good for vlogging. It's small and lightweight, so it's easy to take on the go. It also has a fully articulated screen so you can easily monitor yourself as you record. The video quality is good overall, but especially in brighter lighting conditions. However, it lacks in-body image stabilization, and its electronic stabilization feature does a poor job of smoothing out camera shake if you're vlogging without a gimbal. Its autofocus system is also disappointing at tracking moving faces.
