  • Interchangeable lenses; fast performance; excellent photo quality; flip-and-twist LCD
  • Accident-prone jog dial; some restrictive feature implementations; no movie capture
  • The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is a camera that people will either love for its speed, photo quality, and interchangeable-lens flexibility or hate for its large-ish size, electronic viewfinder and occasionally frustrating design ...

  • Did someone put the G1 through a hot wash? This dinky camera looks like a normal SLR but shrunk to fit today’s micro-miniaturised lifestyle. Despite weighing just 385g, the 12MP G1 is packed with full-fat features, such as face detection, brainy aut...
  • Anyone used to the reassuring heft of an SLR might find the G1 a touch on the teeny side – although the kit lens’s superb image stabilisation keeps camera wobble to a minimum. One bizarre omission: there’s no movie mode on the camera, wh...
  • All the ease of use of a compact camera, all the quality of an SLR – the first Micro Four Thirds camera could be the start of something, er, small. A miniature marvel, lacking only video capture.Best offers for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1Amazon UK...

  • Abstract:  The compacts are replicas of simple point and shoot 35mm film cameras. The digital single lens reflexes are film cameras with the electronic sensor in the place of film. The only new type of camera to appear has been the all-in-one superzoom with elec...

  • Abstract:  For some people, the biggest obstacles to buying a digital SLR camera are the bulk and weight--who wants to carry a couple pounds of camera around everywhere? The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 may provide a solution: It's smaller and lighter than any digital SLR...

  • Compact size; easy operation; 3-inch swiveling LCD; innovative Live View Finder; good image quality.
  • dSLR-like styling hard to differentiate from other shooters; displays are laggy under dim lighting.
  • Panasonic has set the benchmark for the Micro Four Thirds Standard with the G1, a very capable shooter for those who want to upgrade to a slightly more advanced camera from a point-and-shoot.

  • Abstract:  Prosumers are really a bunch with an identity crisis. On one hand, they aim for an user friendly experience. Yet, they are also on the lookout for a camera that goes beyond the mundane point-and-shoot from digital compact cameras. Panasonic has ap...

  • Abstract:  Los medios recibieron de forma cálida y entusiasta el lanzamiento del sistema Micro FourThirds. Y aunque el anuncio fue realizado por Panasonic y Olympus juntos, Panasonic se las ha arreglado para sorprender a la prensa de todo el mundo al presentar l...

  • Das LUMIX G1W Kit bietet neben Kompaktheit und hohem Bedienkomfort auch eine sehr gute Bildqualität, die sich ohne weiteres mit derjenigen echter Spiegelreflexkameras der gleichen Preisklasse messen kann. Man muss den Lumix-Leuten zugestehen, dass es i...

  • Wechselobjektivsystem, gute Leistung, tolle Fotoqualität, schwenkbares Display
  • wackeliges Modusrädchen, keine Videofunktion, hakelige Umsetzung einiger Features
  • An der Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 scheiden sich die Geister: Entweder liebt man sie für ihre Geschwindigkeit, ihre Bildqualität und die Flexibilität der Wechselobjektive oder man hasst sie für den elektronischen Sucher und das stellenweise...
