This is a superb camera. Its only competition is the Olympus E-P3. The Olympus has a 12-megapixel sensor but in side-by-side pixel peeping we could not see any significant difference in output. As they cost about the same, the choice might come down to a...

The more we use the Panasonic touch screen system the more we like it. The ultrafast auto focus means that a light touch on the subject area on the screen takes a perfectly focused and exposed picture every time.
We wouldn't buy this camera/lens combination because the power zoom is like a throwback to compact systems. For anyone primarily intending to take stills the conventional — and cheaper — kit zoom is the way to go for quick, precise changes of focal length
This is a superb camera. Its only competition is the Olympus E-P3. The GX1 is a whisker smaller than the E-P3, but not so you would notice. The Olympus has a 12mp sensor but in side-by-side pixel peeping we could not see any significant difference in outp...
Abstract: Read later Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1. This is the top Panasonic micro four thirds compact system camera that does not have an integrated electronic viewfinder. The high-resolution VFL-2 viewfinder is sold separately. It is built around the company's 1...

Fast performance and excellent raw photo quality, combined with Panasonic's veteran touch-screen/direct-control hybrid interface, make the Lumix DMC-GX1 a strong ILC choice
The new X-series PZ kit lens could use some design tweaks, and Panasonic's JPEG processing, though much better than before, could still use a little work
A well-designed camera with an interface that creative photographers can customize to their liking, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 deserves serious consideration if you're looking for a modestly compact interchangeable-lens model....
Great build quality, Good range of customisable features, Effective Creative Controls, Fast AF system, Decent image quality and overall low light performance
Touchscreen could be more responsive, Several of the controls may prove fiddly for some, No builtin viewfinder, LCD is fixed rather than articulated
With a good range of buying options available; comprising a starting price of £499 or US$699 (body-only), £599 (with 14-42mm manually-operated kit lens), £729.99 (with 14-42mm powered kit lens) and £757.99 (Panasonic Online Shop price), the feature-packed...
Abstract: The Lumix DMC-GX1 with the optional DMW-LVF2 Live View Finder attached. (Source: Panasonic.) A hot shoe on the top panel lets users add the optional DMW-LVF2 Live View Finder or an accessory flashgun. And the GX1 is compatible with the latest power zoom X...
Abstract: Left of the hot-shoe is a pop-up flash, which springs forward and has a GN of 7.6 (metres/ISO 160). Eight flash modes are supported: Auto, Auto/Red-eye Reduction, Forced On, Forced On/Red-eye Reduction, Slow Sync., Slow Sync./Red-eye Reduction and Forced ...
Abstract: Action is one thing the GX1 nails, thanks to its lightning-quick burst mode which can capture 20 shots in a single second (albeit at a reduced resolution) and an autofocus so speedy it feels as if it's locked on before you push the button.The mode dial an...
Nice build quality; more physical control buttons; power-zoom lens is great for videos; fast autofocus speeds.
Difficult to manually focus with powerzoom lens; JPEG images are soft.
There's a lot going for the GX1 if you are looking for a smaller camera to complement your DSLR. In terms of performance, it is a speedy little shooter with autofocus speeds that almost match a DSLR, though we have to say that it sometimes misses the ...
