Is the panasonic lumix g100d good for video?

The G100D page doesn't list its video features, so I can't confirm frame rates, a flip-out screen, or a microphone input. Check the spec sheet before you buy. The body has no in-body stabilisation, so for handheld footage you'll want stabilised lenses. The Video guide has the checklist I'd use to judge it.

With a 2.0 crop factor, go wide for vlogging. These picks from the G100D's lens list cover that well:

• Panasonic Leica DG 8-18mm f/2.8-4: like 16-36mm on full frame, a sensible vlogging range.
• Olympus M.Zuiko 12-100mm f/4 IS PRO: stabilised and like 24-200mm, so one lens covers most shots.

Whatever you pick, budget for sound from the start. The audio section explains why a small microphone matters more than most people expect.
