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

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 tests. Des...

Abstract: Back by popular demand, Panasonic has returned to the enthusiast system niche with the Lumix GX1. While it's technically the first model in a new G-series sub-line, the GX1 is really the logical descendent of the GF1 , the most beloved camera in the short...
Picking the GX1 out of a crowdThe GX1 is a fine camera through and through. At this point in time, image quality is arguably the best that we've seen from the Micro Four Thirds format—it's a toss-up with last year's G3, which is built around very similar...
Abstract: Taking much of its inspiration from one of Panasonic’s earliest CSCs, the GF1, the Panasonic GX1 is designed as a premium, compact model and features a more resilient metal body than its lower-spec cousin...
Superb controls, lightning fast performance, slim profile and excellent (but not class-leading) image and video quality – a sublime package that's worth the high price ...
With its aluminium chassis and rangefinder style, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 is likely to appeal to enthusiast photographers. In use, the camera does not disappoint, either. Its touchscreen enhances its handling and I have not come across a more rapid wa...
Expensive, image quality won't quite beat a DSLR, power zoom too slow
Premium build and a fault-free layout make the GX1 effortless to use. It’s perfect for more demanding users that want to crack on and take pictures. The only criticisms are the new power zoom lens is slow and the image quality, while decent, won’t outs...
