Even in 2000, the Olympus C-2100UZ's 2MP sensor was a bit behind the times. Plenty of other cameras offered 3MP sensors, but what the C-2100UZ lacked in resolution it sought to make up with a huge (at the time) 10x stabilized zoom. That 38-380mm equiv. F2.8-3.5 lens was matched with a full slate of manual exposure controls, built-in EVF and a focus assist lamp that 'actually works'. 

The C-2100UZ shared a lot of features with the C-2020Z on which it was based, which... more

At first glance, the Panasonic DC-GH5 might appear to be more video-oriented than otherwise, but with an updated 20MP sensor, a new 12-60mm F2.8-4 kit lens bearing the coveted 'Leica' designation and refined autofocus performance, that doesn't mean it's not capable of shooting impressive stills as well.

Since the introduction of the Fujifilm X-Series line of cameras, reviewers and consumers have struggled to compare them directly to the competition. Fujifilms is a tightly integrated system, wherein everything is a little bit different.
