DSLR-like styling hard to differentiate from other shooters
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 ...
Did someone put the G1 through a hot wash? This dinky camera looks like a normal SLR but shrunk to fit today’s micro-miniaturised lifestyle. Despite weighing just 385g, the 12MP G1 is packed with full-fat features, such as face detection, brainy aut...
Anyone used to the reassuring heft of an SLR might find the G1 a touch on the teeny side – although the kit lens’s superb image stabilisation keeps camera wobble to a minimum. One bizarre omission: there’s no movie mode on the camera, wh...
All the ease of use of a compact camera, all the quality of an SLR – the first Micro Four Thirds camera could be the start of something, er, small. A miniature marvel, lacking only video capture.Best offers for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1Amazon UK...
The Panasonic G1 is a capable camera that surprises in a number of ways. Most notable is the excellent resolution and clarity from both the LCD and the EVF. But not to be overlooked are the G1’s multiple AF features, a very usable MF option, a cleve...
Very small design; excellent image quality; full feature set; interchangeable lenses.

And so, Panasonic (and the rest of the Micro Four Thirds consortium) has designed a camera that sits somewhere between a point-and-shoot and an SLR. While it’s much closer in size to a point-and-shoot, it delivers the quality, features, and some of...
The G1 introduces an entirely new category of digital camera. At a suggested retail price of USD 800 in the USA (can be found for less), it is competitively priced. More like an SLR than a point-and-shoot, it has a myriad of useful features. The numero...
Abstract: The Panasonic Lumix G-series cameras are the first cameras based on the Micro Four Thirds system, and the world’s smallest and lightest digital interchangeable lens camera system. The Lumix G1 and GH1 eliminate the internal mirror structure that defin...

Yes, the Panasonic DMC-G1 is a "New-Generation Digital Interchangeable Lens Camera", a DSL without the reflex and so out of an automatic moving mirror system, but still with the well-known noise of a focal plane shutter. This "New-Generation" has it...
Abstract: Panasonic has developed an Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera (ILDC) that’s not a single lens reflex model. Substantially smaller than a standard D-SLR, the 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-G1 is categorized as a Micro Four Thirds camera; that’s only because...
