Stabilisation detail
Stabilisation detail	Optical stabilisation depends on the attached lens; no sensor-shift Body I.S. Video electronic stabilisation combines with compatible optical lenses, marketed as 5-axis Hybrid I.S. rather than lens-plus-sensor stabilisation; 4K correction and crop differ. High electronic setting narrows the view further	Five-axis Body I.S. rated 6.5 stops with H-ES12060 at 60 mm; compatible-lens Dual I.S. 2 also 6.5 stops with H-FS14140 at 140 mm, CIPA yaw/pitch

Release detail
Release detail	Maker North America announcement confirms end-of-July2020 sale, matching Photography Blog's UK availability wording; Japan maker specifies 20August2020, a later regional launch. Digital Camera World explicitly tested a pre-production sample and awaited production lab tests; its findings are attributed rather than treated as final production validation. Original G100 remains separate from G100D	Maker Japan confirms first sale 25 June 2021; headline month avoids assuming an exact UK day. Digital Camera World's review did not test fast-moving burst subjects or face/body video tracking; its favourable AF findings concern ordinary stills and selected-point transitions
