When in Movie Mode (on mode dial) the shutter button switches from stills activation to video record start/stop.

And you'll always be in Movie Mode when you record video, because if you're not,...

Panasonic does that. In fact they have a camera called the GX8 where the shutter button can be used to start/stop video recording.

As DPR state above, the TZ100 is targeting a currently unoccupied sector of the market: "small camera with a big sensor and a long zoom."

And there's nothing wrong with that.

That's an impressive level of entitlement you're expressing there GodSpeaks. The video capabilities we have at our disposal in consumer products would've cost in the --many-- tens of thousands of...

Is that the same Huff who preys on the recently bereaved for financial gain by hawking "ghost boxes" that purportedly allow one to talk with their dead relatives?  Or am I confusing him with ...

"AF makes for very usable action shooting of moving subjects. You can expect in focus shots of crawling babies."

What if I ply it with red cordial?

Appreciate your patience and for taking the time to reply.

PS. Your arguments make all the sense in the world to anyone who:

* Currently owns or is downgrading from a high-end CaNikon camera; and
* Is consequently familiar with one-button 100% magnify;...

All due respect Rishi Sanyal, but if you specify inside the review what the "rival" cameras are...

"makes it competitive with the likes of Sony's a6000, Olympus's E-M10 or Fujifilm's...

Well suited to your amateur sized intellect.

Do you find that offensive? Perhaps I should've been more considerate.

Revenant, your argument would have merit if Olympus lenses focused poorly on Panasonic cameras, but that's simply not the case. AF is every bit as alacrious on Pana bodies as it is on Oly bodies. ...

Ok G-D, I'll bite, how does IBIS "constrain" use to Panasonic glass, "undermine the Micro Four Thirds system", and constitutes Panasonic "building up walls around its part of the garden."?

Please...

Fair comment there Narretz, but I was referring specifically to the inclusion of IBIS and Butler's fallacious argument that it will constrain use to Panasonic glass only.

* Panasonic users request IBIS to better enable the use of Olympus and other third party lenses;

* Panasonic listens and implements IBIS, so their users have stabilisation with Olympus and other...

"it's sad if you end up being essentially constrained to Panasonic lenses to get the best out of the camera."

Butler do you even read what you write? I mean, seriously.

How does the inclusion of...

My comments have merit JakeB, and he knows it too. Everything I raised is factually correct and predicated on common sense and reasoned thinking.

Feel free to add something constructive to the...

I don't have the G5 but most of the Panasonic cameras have a Motion Picture menu function called " Flkr Decrease ". This allows you to manually set a shutter speed of 1/50, 1/60, 1/100 or 1/120, ...
