A feature-rich, customisable, G-Micro series camera designed for photo enthusiasts.The latest addition to Panasonic's popular Lumix G Micro System range has been designed to provoke interest among photo enthusiasts. The new GX1, which will be available locally early in 2012, is the company's most feature-rich and photographer-friendly model to date. Equipped with the 16-megapixel Live MOS sensor introduced in the G3, it boasts a new rangefinder design, a mode dial and several customisable controls.
The Panasonic GX1 has a variety of manual controls in movie mode, but it features no new video functions.
The GX1 is basically a combination of Last year's G3 and the fabled GF1, and works well as a result.
Panasonic's super-quick swappy-lens compact
For anyone considering an entry-level DSLR, we would strongly advise you look at this camera.
The Panasonic GF1 helped convince a lot of photographers that a compact shooter could feel delightfully professional. The Lumix DMC-GX1 is Panasonic's most evolved Micro Four Thirds camera yet, and it delivers huge on that promise—but is it enough?
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 achieves impressive color quality, but struggles to completely justify its intimidating price tag.

IntroQualitySamplesVerdictIntro The Lumix GX1 is Panasonic’s fourth ‘pocketable’ camera to employ the Micro Four Thirds standard it co-developed with Olympus.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 is a fine camera, if unassuming. But that quality might make it something you’d really enjoy using -- it’s a certain stealthy quality. At the very least, you’ll want to give this one a second look. The GX1 looks average from the get-go. But start shooting with it, and you’ll instantly notice Panasonic is not playing around. The Good Stuff: The GX1 isn’t the biggest or smallest camera in its class. It fits right between Sony’s NEX-7 and the slightly smaller NX1000/NX210 from Samsung.
The Panasonic GX1 Micro Four Thirds camera is small, comfortable and captures clear images
