Well designed and easy to use, Good quality photos up to 1600 ISO, 1080i HD video, Optional touchscreen is fun to use
Electronic noise gets out of hand beyond 1600 ISO, Weirdly, the main menu doesn't work with the touchscreen, No hot shoe for an external flash, Mic only just about acceptable (it's mono and has a lot of crackle), Photos aren't automatically rotated unless you use a stabilised lens
The Panasonic GF3 is aimed at ordinary consumers and so does without some features beloved of more advanced users, like a hot shoe for attaching an external flash, or direct access to manual modes. It remains an attractive little camera capable of taki...
Good picture quality; compact size; interchangeable lenses; 1080i video recording
No accessory shoe; mono-only sound recording; no mode dial; expensive
The lens-swapping Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 Micro Four Thirds camera is well built and takes a great picture, but you'll pay a premium for its small size....

Metal build, Ease of use, Responsive touch screen and AF, Creative Control modes
Pricey compared to premium fixed lens camera, Mono sound, LCD not angle adjustable, Hotshoe and accessory port omitted to achieve size
The smallest compact system camera yet comes with ease of use and capability to shoot some great looking photos and videos, but with the compromise of losing a few features that made earlier generation models winners.
Solid feel construction, smaller compact-like form factor yet retaining the DSLR-like ability to swap lenses, user friendly blend of virtual and “real” buttons
Flimsy rubber cover to HDMI and AV port, no in-body image stabilisation, mono sound, smaller form factor gives rise to occasional image blur resulting from camera shake in lower light more than predecessors, omits hotshoe and means of attaching a suppleme
The GF3 is Panasonic’s most portable and easiest to use Micro Four Thirds G-series camera yet, but it comes at a slight cost, missing out on some of the usability and flexibility of predecessors and models higher up the range. Still build quality is go...
Super-fast AF performance, Touch AF and Touch Shutter control, Intuitive touch-screen controls
Hot-shoe connection has been removed, Pop-up flash a bit delicate, It's not cheap
While we’d want to have a closer look at a full production sample it does look at this stage like Panasonic could have another winner on its hands with the GF3. It certainly looks good and has plenty of style. Better still, it’s also easy to use, offer...

Abstract: You're ready for a camera upgrade. You've outgrown the best point-and-shoot cameras, but a DSLR is a little excessive. Luckily for you, there's a middle ground. Mirrorless, interchangeable lens cameras—even affordable ones—are getting really, really good....
