Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1

By Lori Grunin (cnet.co.uk)

The 12-megapixel Panasonic Lumix G1 is described as the 'world's first full-time live view digital interchangeable lens camera', and is a big step towards entirely digital photography. You will love it for its speed, photo quality and flexibility, but you...

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

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 review

By Alan Stafford (pcadvisor.co.uk)

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is smaller and lighter than any digital SLR, but relies on a 3in LCD screen and an electronic eye-level viewfinder for shot composition.

We're sure that the compromise that gives the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 its smaller size and lower weight, at the expense of some capabilities, will be okay with some people, but considering the price tag, We're not impressed. For that kind of money, we coul...

"Carry around camera, with ability to take M lens."

By pixelpeeper (cnet.com)

I mainly purchased the camera because of the ... 

The controls are fairly intuitive, manual focusing is surprisingly good and soon to be available adopters will allow the use of M bayonet mount lenses on the micro 4/3 body. Image quality even with the kit lens is quite good.

Raw mode not yet available in photoshop or aperture. Poor instruction manual.

"What's not to like about the EVF"

By headphone guy (cnet.com)

Lori Grunin obviously felt it appropriate to ... 

The EVF is not a drawback of this camera, rather, it offers several advantages.

The small sensor will likely not have particularly good noise performance at low light and higher ISO settings. Smaller sensors also are more prone to "blooming", which occurs when charge carries from a saturated pixel site to adjacent pixel sites.
