Uneven photo quality, May be too small for some, Weak battery life
Panasonic deserves a round of applause for designing a very compact and lightweight interchangeable lens camera. Overall, the camera is capable of taking good pictures, but performance is a bit uneven. With that said, we feel you're giving up way too mu...
Playing card dimensions means this is one compact that truly is, sturdy DSLRstrength build provides a premium feel, diminutiveness hasn't unduly affected handling and the images are a knock out
Soso battery life, feels expensive on launch, touch sensitive onscreen icons are small as are the hard keys on the backplate, lacks an eyelevel viewfinder (EVF)
But the images thankfully speak for themselves, and for many people the GM1 will mark the point where they decided to park their DSLR in the back of the cupboard for something more accessible. What's more the price has dropped since the £629 being asked p...

So-so battery life, feels expensive on launch, touch sensitive on-screen icons are small as are the hard keys on the backplate, lacks an eye-level viewfinder (EVF)
As our general impression is a very positive one, it feels like nit picking to describe the battery life as so-so at just over 200 images, which is no better than a humble snapshot costing a quarter of the price. But the images thankfully speak for themse...
Incredibly compact design, Speedy autofocus, Touchscreen, Silent electronic shutter mode, Picture quality: clean and clear shots, noise handled very well, Good 1232 mm kit lens, Builtin flash, Comprehensive video mode, WiFi (but no NFC)
Battery life could be better, No tilt or swivel screen, 1232 mm lens: non motorised, not great for closeup shots, Grip handle is an optional extra, No weatherproof finish
The Panasonic Lumix GM1 is small, light, stylish, pleasant to use and takes top-quality pictures. What's not to like? This interchangeable lens camera packs a good range of features and quality tech specs into a cute little camera that's perfectly portabl...

Small size, lightweight, decent build quality, fast autofocus, great images particularly when considered against high-end compacts, fair price, Micro Four Thirds lens system makes for versatile product, pinpoint focus mode
Poor battery life, 1080i not p video capture, no hotshoe, no viewfinder possible, accidental touchscreen presses not uncommon (can be turned off though), faux leather finish won't impress all
The Panasonic Lumix GM1 is an utterly brilliant little camera. It sits on the fence between compact and compact system cameras yet gleefully sticks its tongue out at both sides. It's rare that a product feels like a hybrid of ideas and yet succeeds...
Discounting the quirky-cute but underperforming Pentax Q cameras, the GM1 is the most compact compact system camera—emphasis on system —we've seen yet. No other small camera provides photographers with such a wide array of options. The only limiting facto...
