Features

• Take digital photography to a whole new level with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1. This camera is as discreet as a bridge camera, yet it has an interchangeable lens system just like a digital SLR. The DMC-G1 therefore bridges the gap between these two distinct systems, integrating a Live MOS 12.1-megapixel sensor with Micro 4:3 format to ensure great image quality in a compact design. The G1 has a comprehensive viewfinder system with its 3" LCD swivel screen, as well as a second 1.4-megapixel vie
• wfinder. This means you can line up your shot perfectly, even at unusual angles or in bright sunlight, for a reliable representation of the subject you're shooting. The Lumix DMC-G1 has several manual modes, so you can really let loose your creativity. There's also an easy-to-use Auto Intelligent mode, which takes care of adjusting all the camera's settings so you can save time and concentrate on the subject. With functions like this, you won't miss a thing! This G1 is supplied with a Mega O.
• .S. 14-45mm F/3.5-5.6 aspheric lens. This lens is the equivalent of a 28-90 mm in 24x36 format, and will cover most of the useful focal ranges without weighing you down. Plus, its optical stabilisation system means you can reduce the fuzz and blur caused by camera shake, and take perfect pictures even in poor lighting conditions. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 opens up the world of professional-quality photography to everyone.

Rating: - Back into SLR's

Having deserted SLR's some time ago for the Didgital easy option to save my neck and sanity, I have been tempted back in by the G1. I have been looking for some time for a new SLR, as I had missed the contol and quality to be fair. However I did not want several pounds of weight around my neck again, so what could I do?

Well I purchased the G1 and it is excellent, it is light, small (not too small) and so versatile it is amazing. the quality of photos is everything I could have wanted and the two lenses are superb. I am lucky, I live in Guernsey so I did not have to pay VAT (sorry), so the value was also out of this world. What a camera, If you want to get into SLR's or back into them, but do not want to go for the full on version, this is an excellent option. Spoil yourself

Rating: - Excellent Quality for a Smaller Camera

This is a great quality camera. Attractive and small, easy to use for first time photographers, this camera produces very high quality images. It has a nice feel, and isn't too big. I was very impressed with it, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Rating: - Panasonic Lumix G1- a little gem!

After many years of using film SLR cameras, I finally 'went digital' in 2007 with the purchase of a Canon A720IS compact for family/holiday shots and last year a Canon 500DSLR for serious photography. Both are excellent cameras, but I wanted a better camera for holidays and as a back-up for my DSLR. The choice is huge, but after trawling through numerous reviews I became intrigued by the new micro 4-3 format and bought a Panasonic DMC-G1 kit, 45-200 lens and spare battery.

I wasn't disappointed. With the kit lens fitted, it is small, light and a joy to handle. The 45-200 lens transforms it into a 'serious' camera but still light compared to a DSLR with telephoto lens. The whole package, including spare battery and charger, can easily be carried in a shoulder bag, and won't add much weight to the back-pack I use for my other cameras and lenses.

Initial trial shots with both lenses convinces me that it will easily produce images which can be printed up to A4, a size more than enough for most people. The EVF is the best I've seen, and the flip-out screen lets you take images from most angles. For those coming from point-and-shoot, the iA setting will let them take excellent shots while they come to terms with the more complicated controls with the aid of the comprehensive hand book. The two lenses together provide a focal range of 28 to 400 in film camera terms, again more than enough for most. The reviews say it's not so good in poor light, but if you must take photos in near darkness then be prepared to spend serious money.

All things considered, an excellent product and good value for money.

Rating: - Ideal for breathing new life into old Leica lenses (if you have some)

Others have sung the general praises for this camera, so I won't repeat them. It is a great little camera: good quality kit lens, plenty feature to keep most photographers happy, but also good easy enough for snappers; good viewfinder and very decent picture quality, etc. etc.

But ... to add to K. Lim's list of people whom this camera would suit ... add:

People with old Leica M lenses, but don't want to spend thousands on a Leica digital M camera.

I have been looking for a solution for this for years, and this is it! I got an adapter ring for Leica M lenses on ebay for 50 quid (not the expensive official adapter) and this has breathed new life into three top quality lenses from the 1960s. The manual focus works great. The crop factor doubles the focal length, so my Leica Elmar 135mm becomes a whopping (for Leica) 270mm.

I appreciate not many people fall into this category but if you do, get your card out and buy the G1 now!

This was bought for me as a present, unfortunatly the delivery company was a bit naff as the drivers have no Nav locators & are not provided with phones so delivery was late. The product is great as to be expected from Panasonic but there is a lot of instructions to wade through in order to get the hang of things. My wife has a Panasonic DMC-TZ3 which is very user friendly.
