Panasonic Lumix G Digital Camera Systems

September 2009 saw Panasonic introducing what it bills as the world's smallest and lightest digital interchangeable lens system camera with a built-in flash' in the shape of Lumix DMC-GF1. Coming in the form of a new 'artistic flat' body design similar to that of the recently released Olympus E-P1, the GF1 is remarkably smaller than their earlier G models, yet with the same 12.1Mp sensor as the DMC-G1, 1280 x 720 HD recording in AVCHD Lite format, an optional hot-shoe mounted electronic viewfinder, and a 3 inch LCD with 460k dots.

This new GF1 takes its place as the third model in the revolutionary G series of digital interchangeable lens system cameras based on the Micro Four Thirds system standard. Panasonic took the market by storm with the series' first model - the DMC-G1, with its convenient size and brilliant image quality. The company broke more new ground when it launched the DMC-GH1, which added creative AVCHD full-HD movie recording.

The GF1 does away with the pentaprism found on other standard interchangeable lens cameras. This mirror-less structure helped Panasonic achieve a neo-classic body design that dramatically reduces both size and weight, yet it does not compromise on functions. It comes equipped with a built-in flash, boasts a large, 3.0-inch Intelligent LCD with a wide viewing angle and full 460,000-dot resolution. Users will enjoy vivid, exceptionally detailed images both when shooting and when viewing the results...

Worldwide Reviews and Awards 

Panasonic is one of the most striking camera manufacturers of the last few years. The brand started with a number of digital cameras and then decided on a very clear, well- built-up line of LUMIX cameras. Within this quest Panasonic has managed to conquer quite a large part of market share with it's LUMIX compact camera which were expected considering its specifications and performance.

What was amazing is to see a giant electronics brand like Panasonic grasping the tail of the dragon a lot faster than the traditional photo manufacturers and is now one of the main contenders for your quest of quality and exemplary digital photographic products...
