Solid yet lightweight, Fast response times, Touch screen and hard controls
No Electronic Viewfinder, Back screen not adjustable, No image stabilisation in body
If you want the twin benefits of a compact camera body plus the ability to swap lenses and drill down into manual features to achieve more professional looking pictures, the Panasonic GX1 is currently the brand’s best option. While not cheap if you’re
Abstract: Back by popular demand, Panasonic has returned to the enthusiast system niche with the Lumix GX1. While it's technically the first model in a new G-series sub-line, the GX1 is really the logical descendent of the GF1 , the most beloved camera in the short...
Picking the GX1 out of a crowdThe GX1 is a fine camera through and through. At this point in time, image quality is arguably the best that we've seen from the Micro Four Thirds format—it's a toss-up with last year's G3, which is built around very similar...
