Product Details of Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 12.1 Megapixel Mirrorless Camera Body with Lens Kit - 0.55"-1.77" - Black

Description

The GF1 adopts the Micro Four Thirds System standard, which was developed as an extended version of the Four Thirds System standard for digital camera systems. By using this standard and developing a camera body that eliminates the mirror box and optical viewfinder unit, Lumic was able to achieve a dramatic reduction in both size and weight compared with conventional digital SLR cameras, to create a new-generation system camera that features Full-time Live View, high-speed, high-precision Contrast AF, HD movie recording, and more. The GF1 is small enough to take anywhere yet sophisticated enough to take you as far into photography and movies as you want to go.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 (with 14mm-45mm lens)

THE GOOD: Excellent photo quality and performance for its class; comfortable, streamlined design; interchangeable lenses. THE BAD: EVF costs extra; cant use EVF and hot-shoe flash simultaneously. THE BOTTOM LINE: The best interchangeable-lens compact weve see thus far, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 delivers great photo quality and performance in an enthusiast-friendly shooting experience.

Camera Labs – Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 review

Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-GF1 is the camera many enthusiasts have been waiting for. It packs a DSLR-sized sensor into a relatively compact body, with the added bonuses of interchangeable lenses and HD video. Fit it with a thin 'pancake' lens like Panasonic’s own 20mm f1.7 and you’ll have a very portable, but high quality combination. So far so though, this is nothing you couldn’t do with the...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 Review

SLR quality in a digicam-size package comes to the enthusiast digital photographer in the form of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1. Packing a larger sensor into a small body, the Panasonic GF1's images are impressive, rivaling today's best digital SLR cameras, with excellent detail and low noise. To rival SLR digital cameras properly, of course, the Panasonic GF1 needs interchangeable lenses, and...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 Review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 is the latest member of the Micro Four Thirds family, a platform that promises DSLR-esque image quality and performance in a compact form factor. Previous cameras in this class have been good, though not perfect. Does the GF1 finally make good on all the promises we were made when the Micro Four Thirds concept was announced?

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 Review

The new Lumix DMC-GF1 camera seamlessly combines the image quality and features of a DSLR with the handling and ease-of-use of a compact - at least that's what Panasonic is trying to achieve. With a 12 megapixel sensor, 3 inch LCD, high-definition video and wealth of shooting modes for beginners and more advanced users, can the diminutive Panasonic GF1 live up to all the pre-release hype? Mark...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 | Black - includes 14-45mm Lens

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 is a compact DSLR built as a director competitor to Olympus’s notorious E-P1. It’s essentially a DMC-G1 (bulky SLR), but smashed into a much more convenient and user-friendly frame that resembles the E-P1 AND adds along a much-wanted built-in flash feature. It utilizes the Micro Four Third System standard and gets rid of a mirror box and optical viewfinder...

DCRP Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1

Enter the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1: it's roughly the same size as the Olympus E-P1 and has better AF performance, a built-in flash, a higher resolution LCD, and a nicer movie mode. Add in full manual controls, a second-to-none live view experience, great photo quality, and lots of bells and whistles and well, I was smitten. Not only do I highly recommend the DMC-GF1 -- I can tell you that I bought...
