The editors didn't like
Noisy images at ISO 1600 and higher. No optical viewfinder. No optical image stabilization with 20mm lens.
Mono microphone tends to pick up too much ambient noise
Panasonic has solved the problem of auto-focus speed in a compact camera using the contrast detect method. There is little difference between the focus speed of the GF1 and any SLR at the same price. Images are sharp with excellent contrast. Image qua...
The camera's ergonomics and implementation of controls are not the best. The Olympus E-P1 has been criticised for its user-unfriendliness but we would rate it better than the Panasonic. But once the GF1's idiosyncrasies are understood, it is easy...
This is a marvellous camera. There is a saying that the best camera is the one you have with you, so on that criterion alone, the GF1 ranks as one of the best. It is also not surprising that demand for the Olympus E-P1 and Panasonic GF1 has overwhelme...
Abstract: In the GF1, Panasonic has challenged Olympus with a similar, rangefinder-like model that tackles some of the deficiencies of the E-P1 and exploits the not insignificant potential of the Micro Four Thirds (M4/3) sensor format. In addition, by providing ...

Fast autofocus speeds; built-in pop up flash; 720p HD video recording.
Mono audio recording; colour modes not practical; average ISO performance; no builtin optical image stabilisation.
In a nutshell, the GF1 has many good qualities that make it a strong performer in this camera shootout. SIDE VIEW: Mounted with a 20mm pancake lens, the GF1 makes for a very portable compact camera. Its main advantages are its portable size, ability t...
Abstract: For photography enthusiasts who think that the traditional point-and-shoot is underwhelming and DSLRs to be a bit too cumbersome at times, Panasonic now offers a formidable choice: the Panasonic Lumix GF1....
The Panasonic Lumix GF1 is a joy of a camera to shoot with. It gave us better shots than we could hope for with any compact, at an acceptable trade-off between size and convenience. It's dead-easy to use, with Panasonic's intelligent iA (Intelligent Auto)...

Abstract: En el momento de escribir estas líneas, solo hay disponibles dos cámaras compactas Micro Four Thirds System. Ambas son similares en lo que respecta a funciones y dimensiones. Olympus y Panasonic son los promotores y desarrolladores del sistema Micro F...
sehr gute Bildqualität, schnell, integrierter Blitz, sehr kompakt und leicht, edel verarbeitet
verhältnismäßig teuer, lange Abschaltzeit, verbesserungswürdiges Mikrofon, Rauschen in höheren ISOBereichen
Eins ist sicher: Eine Systemkamera, ganz gleich welchen Herstellers, ist kein vollwertiger Ersatz für ein DSLR-Gerät. Die Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 kommt der Klasse aber überraschend nahe und ist dabei wesentlich kompakter. Bildqualität und Ausstattung ...
