The electronic viewfinder is average for the type and is no match for the mirror and prism of a conventional single lens reflex
A bit expensive
Touchscreen can hinder some shooting options. Can't disable the touchscreen. Noise and over-processing issues at high ISO levels
Rear control dial is in better position, Articulating, high-resolution 3:2 LCD, High-resolution EVF, IR sensor switches between EVF and LCD, Good shape to grip, Soft, warm rubber finish, 20g lighter than its predecessor, but camera still has good heft,...
Grip area is somewhat slick, Rear EVF protrudes far behind the camera, making it harder to fit into small spaces, Kit lens has no IS switch (camera menu only); plastic mount, Lots of geometric distortion in uncorrected RAW at wide-angle, which contribu...
Its predecessor set new benchmarks for EVF quality, and also established a whole new category of mirrorless, interchangeable-lens digital cameras, so its natural that we'd expect a lot from the Panasonic G2. In many ways, the Panasonic G2 delivers, wit...
Nice touch-screen implementation; articulated LCD; relatively fast; pretty good EVF
Images a little noisier at midrange ISO sensitivities than they should be, too easy to accidentally move focus points with touch screen
Although the photos look a hair noisier and overprocessed compared with many competitors, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 has a lot to recommend about it--including a flip-and-twist touch-screen and speedy performance.

Image quality is outstanding, Camera layout is good, important features are accessible by "one touch", Quick autofocus and good response times, LCD can rotate away from the camera, can shoot photos with touch on LCD, EVF is extremely bright and sharp
Will take some time to learn all of the features, LCD is a little tough to see in direct sunlight, Price seems a little high, Touchscreen LCD is easy to smudge
Abstract: Panasonic DMC-GH2 Review March 2011| Barnaby Britton (with additional material by Richard Butler and Uwe Steinmuller) When Panasonic first launched the GH1, its second Micro Four Thirds camera, it was widely seen as simply being a G1 with video shooti...
Abstract: One of the most exciting features of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 is its vari-angle 3-inch (3:2) touch-screen monitor, from which one can both take control of shooting settings and activate the shutter by touching the subject on-screen. The camera’s exce...
Abstract: It was March when I had a chance to wander round the Focus show with a pre production version of this DSLR unit. Now in late autumn I finally get to look at the boxed version and to try all the G2 has to offer for real....
The Panasonic DMC-G2 is one of the best all-rounders I have tried lately. The kit lens has no macro, yet I was still able to get in good and close. While the tele-photo end didn't get me too near, it’s certainly sufficient for non-wildlife photograph...
