    Actually, it's not much. But it's really compact. It features a 20MP mFT sensor and offers some useful computational photography tricks. Despite that, it's probably the most disliked mFT camera; when it was released, it didn’t receive much love.
    I bought it because I found a good deal £320 with the kit lens, which I can probably sell for £80–100. I wanted a relatively inexpensive camera to keep in the car, paired with a small zoom lens (like the 12–32mm) for street photography.
    I could’ve used my GM5, but that camera is now considerably more valuable than the G100 (I can sell it for £600 easily). It also has an older 16MP sensor, fewer control dials, and a fixed screen. I’ll keep the GM5 as a collector’s item and use the G100 instead.

    Does anyone not "see" what a great street image this is 🤔

    No, you're right. It's excellent indeed!

    No offence meant, but a B&W photo of a man riding a bicyle on what looks like the south side of Trafalgar Square with an out of focus background does nothing at all for me.

    Back before I had a decent camera in my cell phone, bought a G100 with kit lens to use for recording things on site. I had a lot of fun with this little camera, and it led me to ditch my heavy DSLR, to buy into the M43 system with an EM5 + lenses.

    A simple little camera like this can be quite liberating.

    Thanks for all the comments, but particularly @DonaldB, as I agree with him. I really enjoyed the proximity and contact with the rider.

    This could be a different camera because it’s relatively recent, released in 2021. However, all the reasons for this camera are valid as well. It’s fun and small, but it lacks an IBIS, which is a significant loss. Despite this, I paid £227, which is a fair price for a 20MP sensor camera with a spare original battery and only 400 shutter counts.

    Love the photo, but I have a "but". : ) The head and torso don't have "enough" blur. It almost looks like those portions of the photo were cut and paste into the photo. Not as bad when looking at the larger size, however, but still an issue. Were it me (and we all know that I'm usually in the left tail of the bell curve!), I'd add a bit more blur to those portions of the photo in post. That said, the end result might be worse, don't know. Regardless, I do really like the photo!

    The background is not "out of focus"; it is "out of registration" with the sensor. The finest streaks suggests focus, and all the horizontal blur is perfectly executed, with a perfect pan of the face, and no bunching along each horizontal streak, whereas an imperfect pan would result in a blurred or ghosted face, and bunching in the panning streaks.

    I am happy to read that you liked it. I must say, I know it wasn’t your intention, but this is such a nice compliment for a panning shot.
