Panasonic G100 with Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 Overview


Let's compare Lumix DMC-G3 with G100. Both cameras produced Panasonic. These models are included in the Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras. Panasonic G3 was released in 2011, and Panasonic G100 in 2020. G100 is newer, which is a plus. Lumix DMC-G3 9 years older.
The sensor resolution of Lumix DMC-G3 is greater than that of G100. However, the difference of 4 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (G100), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Panasonic G100, the maximum ISO is greater by 19200. Both cameras feature a 3-inch articulated screen.
Both cameras have a electronic viewfinder. Viewfinder G100 has a higher resolution of 3680k dots, Lumix DMC-G3 has a resolution of 1440k dots.
