Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX 16 MP Micro 4/3 Compact System Camera with 3-Inch LCD Touch Screen
Discussions with the Sony Nex 7 start my journey of a week of research in these new mirrorless compact camera with interchangeable lenses. My alternative to the Sony NEX 7, NX200 Samsung, Olympus EP3, EPL3 Olympus, Pentax Q, X100, Fuji (non-interchangeable lenses), Nikon J1 and V1.
I'm looking for a pocket camcorder that can take great pictures. I can sacrifice some things, if that means I have to take the darn thing with my M43 lens that fits the bill with the smallest of them. In response to previous comments about the build quality is excellent GX1 I bought the camera from my local Samys I have to pick up and play with the camera, Olympus, Nikon and Panasonic choose from, Panasonic was the best. It has enough weight to feel legitimate in their hands. Handshake is only appropriate for the size of this camera. The mode dial is set to change when the maneuver in and out of my pocket. It has customizable settings can dial-C1 and C2 are the same as the camera from Panasonic.
It has a soft program. (Touch Screen) for rapid access. The menu system is well defined and the Q-short for the speed is also customizable. I'm not mine to give me immediate access to exposure settings, raw, etc. This is a great feature and seen in other cameras, Panasonic, Panasonic has clearly paid close attention to the characteristics of the user experience. this work. You can collect and easily navigate through the menus without having to use. Another interesting feature is the live mode manual focus. In autofocus mode, you can adjust the focus ring by hand and the body will switch to that mode when you zoom into an area of focus so that you can define your attention. This is really cool for the body. The touch screen is very good and they updated the firmware as it great. Remember, this is the kind of resistance that use reason in contrast to capacitive screens on your mobile phone. This prevents you from accidentally press the soft button on the screen while handling the camera.
The autofocus system is connected to a Panasonic 20mm fire in the distance of the switch (from afar) is a quick short stroke. But not as fast as fast can you find in a DSLR camera (note that compared to my Pentax K20D), but also to impress my friends. Jog Dial for the aperature, shutter, EV setting and context is important. In manual mode the aperature and work fast to get it to sync. Similarly, exposure mode, press the select button will allow you to instantly adjust the EV is a good feeling GX1-mount lens, metal, in fact, most of the body is a metal that sets it apart from G3, will be closed. Potter touch screen allows you to take a point on the touch screen to set the focus as well as EP3.
There are some 'fanboyism between the two sides of Olympus and Panasonic M43 in the general sense I get is the Panasonic is just happy with the transmission of them by pressing the Olympus system. What is often overlooked best point and shoot migrating across the back of the DSLR is that "you are buying into the system", the Panasonic lens, the better the brand and image quality. The physical properties of the lens, as the price of the Panasonic 7-14mm 45 mm to 20 mm and the others are among the best targets. What is neglected in comparison is that it will not get fixed in body color from the body of the aberration of the lens OLYMPUS PANASONIC goal that will last until you refresh your body during the year. one. If you use a wider range of older lens without a tripod, you can do better with Olympus. But I'm not sure there are a lot of hand holding a camera with a telephoto lens. While Panasonic sensors to stop or two faster, because the new sensor, which makes it resistant to vibration.
Then there is the question of the place gx1 G3 or G3 is a great camera and you should definitely consider. It 's filled with the EVF and flip the screen out. (In contrast to delete only) The details of the second hand is everywhere. There are small differences in position and the quality of construction is evident in gx1 is mostly made of metal. If you're doing a lot of video, the GH2 and Sony NEX series is your candidate. GH2 video quality is very well recorded and compared with the Canon 5D Mark II, especially with a little 'hacking the firmware.
Since K20D and do my part for several weeks of research before buying this camera. As a result, I spent a lot of different blogs and forums. It may be in the same boat with Olympus and EP3 GX1 and really should hold the camera and see what feels right for you. I want to comment on a blog of sorts stevehuffs, where will the camera head to head in the nature of regulation should not compare JPG (like Olympus is known for image processing, JPEG. Of them) are more useful would be to use both cameras and adjust the settings for what appears to be more pleasing to you. Otherwise, what point is set. This is similar to take out of the box and the HDTV will be compared with the measurements, although the eye. Rant a little 'how. uninformative. Perhaps some of the review sites.
As regards the lack of an electronic search view. You can purchase separately if you want to be added the cost. Only factor to be considered, and the possibility for you to reduce the form factor is not. A non-issue for some and others do not.
It also has a new firmware out, and, of course, you need to update. Auto white balance is very good for indoor gx1 love beautiful and you can not go wrong with details of any color (black satin), when I played with gx1 after playing with DSLR camera. The GX1 wonderful feeling just to hold.
In the next year I hope to see a gorilla glass used by the camera manufacturer for digital SLR cameras and compact them to prevent scratches and damage. Another note to keep an eye on a piece of Samsung NX200 is a beautiful image of sport and a good selection of lenses. I have not had a chance to handle one.
