Panasonic Lumix G1 preview

Comments:
Panasonic's Lumix DMC-G1 is the first camera to be based on the new Micro Four Thirds standard. Micro Four Thirds was jointly developed by Olympus and Panasonic to target people who want the flexibility and quality of a large sensor / interchangeable lens

Review Verdict: Unfortunately though there's a number of aspects which disappoint with the G1. There's no movie mode, the AF only works with certain lenses, and while it's undeniably small and light, it's actually physically quite similar to the Olympus E-420, which lest

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1: Dawn of the Mini-DSLR

Comments:
There's no doubt the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 camera--the first to use the Micro Four-Thirds System--is revolutionary. But our review suggests you may be better off buying a "real" DSLR for now.

Review Verdict: There's no doubt that the Micro Four-Thirds system represents an evolutionary step in the world of cameras, but how well did the Lumix G1 itself perform? Executive Editor Alan Stafford spent some hands-on time with the G1, and he's not quite ready to trad

Panasonic Lumix G1 digital system camera review : Panasonic surprised the whole world with the introduction of the world's first digital camera based on the new Micro FourThirds System. Meaning; a DSLR camera without a mirror. And since this is not possib

Comments:
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.

Review Verdict: 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

Comments:
For some people, the biggest obstacles to buying a digital SLR camera are the bulk and weight--who wants to carry a couple pounds of camera around everywhere? The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 may provide a solution: It's smaller and lighter than any digital SLR

Review Verdict: A button on the top-right corner of the camera labeled Film Mode lets you choose dynamic, nature, smooth, nostalgic, vibrant, standard black and white, dynamic black and white, or smooth black and white. It allows for exposure bracketing and white-balance

LetsGoDigital found some time to work with the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 for a short period of time. As far as they concerned, this should be the most interesting development of the year 2008. A while ago, Panasonic introduced the Micro FourThirds system

For some people, the biggest obstacles to buying a digital SLR camera are the bulk and weight--who wants to carry a couple pounds of camera around everywhere? The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 may provide a solution: It's smaller and lighter than any digital SLR

Review Verdict: Though you do get a live view of your subject through either the LCD or the viewfinder, you're always looking at pixels, rather than an image reflected through glass. As good as the eye-level viewfinder is for its type, I disliked using it, especially in

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1

Comments:
Our review of this camera has been completed, using a final production DMC-G1.

Review Verdict: Since the G1 lacks the traditional AF sensor found on regular D-SLRs, Panasonic had to find another way to provide autofocus, and they're using the cameras Live MOS sensor to provide fast contrast detect AF. The optical viewfinder has been replaced by an

Panasonic Lumix G1 review

Comments:
Let's focus here on the first member of a new kind, the Panasonic DMC-G1, that shows the way to micro compact DSLRs. The Micro four-thirds mount, derived from the standard four-thirds bayonet used by Olympus and Panasonic, is adapted to get to the G1's co

Review Verdict: But the G1, the first micro 4/3 camera in the history of photography, is only a partial succes: it is not that miniaturized (for the body anyway), not that easy-to-use (barely easier than an SLR), video is missing in an inexplicable and unforgivable way -
