Notes on 11 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1Panasonic LUMIX S1II, High resolution pixel-shift mode: The full 96MP composite needs a tripod; handheld shooting caps at 48MP.
  2. 2Canon EOS R100, Native ISO maximum: ISO 25600 (H) is an expanded setting, not a native sensitivity.
  3. 3Canon EOS R100, In-body image stabilization: No in-body stabilization; shake correction relies on IS lenses or Movie Digital IS.
  4. 4Panasonic LUMIX S1II, Sensor readout speed: Measured by DPReview using the electronic shutter in 14-bit stills mode.
  5. 5Canon EOS R100, Continuous shooting (electronic): The electronic (silent) shutter does not support continuous shooting on this camera.
  6. 6Panasonic LUMIX S1II, 4K max frame rate: Maximum 120 fps in 4K requires recording in MOV format at a 24.00Hz system frequency.
  7. 7Panasonic LUMIX S1II, 4K max frame rate (full width): 4K at 120fps requires an approximate 1.24x sensor crop; 60fps is the fastest at full sensor width.
  8. 8Canon EOS R100, 4K max frame rate (full width): All 4K recording uses a ~1.6x centre crop, so no full-width 4K mode exists.
  9. 9Canon EOS R100, Viewfinder magnification: Canon's 0.95x is quoted with a 50mm lens on APS-C; in 35mm-equivalent terms it is 0.59x.
  10. 10Canon EOS R100, Weight: CIPA weight: body with battery and memory card, without lens.
  11. 11Canon EOS R100, USB charging & power delivery: The battery must be charged in the external LC-E17E charger; no USB power delivery.

Sensor and Stabilization

The Panasonic features a full-frame sensor and 8 stops of in-body image stabilization, while the Canon relies on an APS-C sensor with 0 stops of in-body stabilization and no in-body shake correction. This makes the Panasonic much better for low-light shooting and handheld stability.

The Panasonic also provides a partially-stacked CMOS design paired with a native ISO maximum of 51,200 ISO, easily outpacing the Canon's 12,800 ISO limit.

Video Performance

For filmmakers, the Panasonic dominates with 6K resolution and internal raw video recording. It supports 10-bit color, log profile support, and up to 120 fps in 4K, though 120 fps requires a 1.24x crop and MOV format at a 24.00Hz system frequency.

In contrast, the Canon caps out at 4K resolution at 25 fps with an 8-bit H.264 codec and a mandatory 1.6x center crop on all 4K footage. The Panasonic also includes a headphone port and a full-size HDMI port for external monitors.

Speed and Autofocus

Action photographers will prefer the Panasonic for its 70 fps electronic continuous shooting and 10 fps mechanical bursts. The Canon limits users to 6.5 fps mechanically and offers no continuous shooting with its electronic shutter.

The Panasonic also vastly expands its subject detection to include animals, cars, trains, airplanes, and motorcycles alongside humans, whereas the Canon sticks strictly to human tracking.

Handling and Build

The Canon weighs just 356 g with its battery and memory card, making it significantly lighter and more compact than the 800 g Panasonic. However, the Panasonic brings dual memory card slots, weather sealing, and USB charging with power delivery.

The Canon relies on an external charger and features a fixed screen, while the Panasonic gives you a fully articulated screen and a high-resolution 5.76 M dot viewfinder.
