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

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: This is a preview of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 interchangeable lens camera. The camera described here is pre-production, and features and performance are subject to change. In addition, Panasonic has asked that photos and videos from this camera not...
Abstract: Before I begin my report on the new Panasonic GX1, please allow me a brief digression. We now have the Canon 1DX, Samsung NX200, Fujifilm X-10, Ricoh GXR, Casio EX15, Olympus XZ1, Sigma DP2X, Sony HX9V – and that's with just one model from each com...
Abstract: The Panasonic LUMIX GX1 Micro-4/3rd camera accepts both LUMIX G and Leica DG lenses. The 16 MP Live MOS sensor incorporates an advanced noise reduction system for exposures up to ISO 12,800 with a 144 zone multi-pattern meter. TIPA members were impres...
Abstract: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1Hands-on Preview November 2011 | Amadou Diallo Panasonic's Lumix DMC-GX1 is the company's latest addition to its G-series lineup. And although the camera bears the '1' appendage in its model name, it is clear from even a cursory...
Highest resolution Micro Four Thirds sensor, Very good quality JPEG high ISO images, Improved white balance and skin tone rendering (compared to GF1), Fast AF acquisition (particularly impressive in low light), Shooting is possible while the buffer's data is being written to the card, Well-implemented touchscreen interface, Extensive manual control points including a mode dial and four Fn butto
Conservative metering tends towards underexposure, Fastest continuous shooting modes come at the expense of live view, 20fps SH mode yields poor image quality, Limited manual exposure controls for video recording, Continuous tracking performance suffers in low-light, low contrast scenarios, Minimal effect of in-camera dynamic range settings,
The GX1 is an extremely satisfying camera to use. Extensive, and generally well-positioned external control points are coupled with the latest iteration of Panasonic's highly regarded touchscreen interface. We struggle to think of a camera in this cla...
There's little to make the Panasonic DMC-GX1 not desirable for use at the end of this article. That is why we recommend it to anyone desperate for a new camera....
If you loved the GF1, the GX1 could be exactly the camera you’ve been waiting for. Its superb build quality and ergonomics are matched with speedy performance and excellent image quality. It’s a little unnecessarily complicated to use and could do wit...
Touch screen control and physical buttons provide best-of-both-worlds operation; quick response times; reliable performer; solid construction yet lightweight and portable
No electronic viewfinder that enthusiasts have come to expect; rear LCD not angle adjustable; no image stabilisation system built into the body (via lens only)
Images are sharp and colourful if still no match for a larger DSLR. However the GX1 is much more portable and most hobbyists will view it as ‘good enough'
The LUMIX GX1 incorporates manual features, a touchscreen and a high level of performance in a camera body that is compact and comfortable to hold. It produced excellent results in our tests, in the ISO testing in particular, and it's a good all-round ...
