Panasonic today launches its third Micro Four Thirds system camera, the Lumix DMC-G1. We have been evaluating the GF1 over the last few weeks and have lots of product images and analysis to share with you. Two new lenses have also been revealed.
It's simple, the GF1 is designed to be more affordable and the GH1 sensor more expensive than the G1/GF1 sensor. My main disappointment is the lack of stereo microphone for video recording.
I was really warming to this camera until I discovered that neither the body or the 20mm lens have IS. That is definitely a deal breaker for me, a shame because otherwise it was looking to be the perfect combination.
All the MFT cameras so far have almost, but not quite, hit the mark - and for different resons. It seems to me that if the advantages from each of the cameras could be combined into one model then we'd just about have the perfect specification!

I might be missing this, but is there any information on prices and release dates. I'm actually most interested in the 45mm macro.
Also, does FTU or mFTU have any plans to do a head to head with the LX-3 that many currently as their in the pocket camera? I volunteer BTW. All I need is a GF-1.
