The editors liked
The more we use the Panasonic touch screen system the more we like it. The ultrafast auto focus means that a light touch on the subject area on the screen takes a perfectly focused and exposed picture every time.
Fast performance and excellent raw photo quality
Combined with Panasonic's veteran touch-screen/direct-control hybrid interface
Make the Lumix DMC-GX1 a strong ILC choice
Relatively compact
Lots of features
Good image quality and performance
Excellent high ISO performance
Superb build quality
Customisable controls
Great build quality
Good range of customisable features
Effective Creative Controls
Fast AF system
Decent image quality and overall low light performance
The editors didn't like
We wouldn't buy this camera/lens combination because the power zoom is like a throwback to compact systems. For anyone primarily intending to take stills the conventional — and cheaper — kit zoom is the way to go for quick
Precise changes of focal length
The new X-series PZ kit lens could use some design tweaks
Abstract: Left of the hot-shoe is a pop-up flash, which springs forward and has a GN of 7.6 (metres/ISO 160). Eight flash modes are supported: Auto, Auto/Red-eye Reduction, Forced On, Forced On/Red-eye Reduction, Slow Sync., Slow Sync./Red-eye Reduction and Forced ...
The Lumix DMC-GX1 is a top notch contribution to the mirror less compact range that offers the user quite a lot. Image quality is very good, even at higher ISO levels and the video quality is also quite good with great audio and image stabilisation ...

High-quality 16-megapixel stills and Full HD AVCHD movies, Extensive photo tweaks, Solid build with quality 3-inch touchscreen LCD
Just too expensive, Weird button arrangements, Noisy at high ISOs, Touchscreen should be more sensitive
For all its issues, we liked shooting with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1X. Sure it's quirky, but like Sony's NEX interface we're sure it'll become second nature over time. However, it's too expensive to recommend unreservedly. Even with the quality lens a...

With the Lumix GX1, Panasonic addresses several crucial complaints from enthusiasts about their Micro Four Thirds cameras, particularly the rangefinder-style class once represented by the GF series. They've returned to a larger size that's a better tra...

If you were pleased with the video performance of the Panasonic G3, then you'll likely be fine with the capabilities of the Panasonic GX1. The GX1 had similar performance to its predecessor, which is to say it didn't do all that well in certain te...
Quality: excellent.Why you'd buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1: ultra small; easy to use in no-brainer mode.Why you wouldn't: nothing to pick on.The camera can be bought in a choice of black or silver body colour.One of the most desirable Micro Four Thirds...

Compact size. Fast continuous shooting. Hot shoe and accessory port. Built-in flash.
Large, soft kit lens. Fixed rear LCD. Poor high ISO performance. Pricey
At 16 megapixels, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 features the highest resolution of any Micro Four Thirds camera. It has some nice features that should appeal to enthusiasts, but it doesn't do well at the higher ISO settings and is bundled with a lens that ...
