  • gutes Touchscreen-Bedienkonzept, dreh- und schwenkbares Display, ordentlicher Sucher, schnell
  • Bilder bei mittleren Empfindlichkeiten zu verrauscht, versehentliche Fehlbedienung durch Touchscreen möglich
  • Auch wenn ihre Fotos für diese Klasse verhältnismäßig stark rauschen und etwas verzeichnet wirken, hat die Panasonic etliche überzeugende Argumente auf Lager - darunter das dreh- und schwenkbare Display und das schnelle Ansprechverhalten....

  • Beweglicher Touchscreen, Verfolgungs-AF, Handliche Bedienung
  • Erhöhtes Grundrauschen, Langsam
  • Mit der G2 zeigt Panasonic, was eine kleine und leichte Systemkamera im MicroFour-Thirds-Format leisten kann: Die Bildqualität nähert sich der von klassischen DSLRs an. Das Bedienkonzept mit einem Touchscreen, vielfältigen Fokusmodi und manuellen Steuerel...
