Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 (black)

Interchangeable lenses ; fast performance ; excellent photo quality ; flip-and-twist LCD

Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 camera

By Ben Long (macworld.com)

This Four Thirds-based camera features SLR-like image quality in a smaller form factor.

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.

Manufacturer's Description

The LUMIX G1 is as easy to use as a compact digital camera, with the stunning photo quality of a digital SLR camera. It's a new-generation digital interchangeable lens camera that does away with the mirror box and complies with the Micro Four Thirds System standard. In short, the G1 writes an entirely new chapter in the evolution of the digital interchangeable lens camera.
