The lens
The lens! Shoot at wider apertures than f/2.8 and the results are a joy to behold –go back to a camera with a narrower aperture range and it suddenly feels very restrictive
We also like the stylish looks and quality build quali...

The editors didn't like
While the pancake lens is great
The choice of other lenses is tiny compared to the Canon or Nikon SLR system
The Lumix DMCGF1 is a bit bland looking compared to the retro Olympus Pen and it suddenly gets bulky and awkward when you pop up the flash or...
Cost
Monitor only standard
View finder optional
Noisy images at high ISOs
Camera not as small as it seems when all the parts are added on
Aggressive anti-noise processing in JPEG mode blurs detail.
No optical viewfinder
Not as many lens options as a full DSLR
Image exposure is a bit dark
20mm lens vignettes when wide-open
Yellows and oranges are tainted by green in JPEG files
Edge-enhancement halos at default settings
High contrast in direct sunlight
Limited dynamic range compared to most SLRs
Shadow noise at high ISO like that of...
Camera seems a little expensive
Learning to find all of the GF1's features will take some time
Placement of popup flash is very awkward
Noisy images at ISO 1600 and higher. No optical viewfinder. No optical image stabilization with 20mm lens.
EVF costs extra
Can't use EVF and hot-shoe flash simultaneously.
Dynamic range and high ISO output not quite as good as best in class (including Olympus E-P1)
JPEG output nowhere near as good as it could be - shoot raw for best results
Default settings don't produce particularly appealing (JPEG) color
Att välja mellan GF1 och E-P1 är inte lätt eftersom bildkvaliteten är i det närmaste identisk. Blixten, skärmen och filmningen hos GF1 är en klar fördel. Och 20/1,7 är ett bättre objektiv än Olympus...
Abstract: Panasonic har äntligen tagit det logiska steget med sin micro four thirds-klass och gjort den nya modellen GF1 betydligt mindre än föregångarna. ...
Abstract: Panasonic satser for fullt på Micro FourThirds og ser ut til å ha kuttet ut FourThirds speilreflekser. G1 var først ute høsten 2008 og det er en modell med innebygd søker og utseende som minner om et lite speilrefleks. I løpet av 2009 kom ...
Svært kompakt, meget god bildekvalitet, godt kit-objektiv, skarp og god skjerm, rask autofokus
Ikke 100% ergonomisk, enkelte svakheter med tanke på brukervennlighet, noe dårlig grep, noe svak batterilevetid, høy pris
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 Micro FourThirds lever videre som et spennende konsept, og Panasonic leverer nok en gang et godt kamera i Lumix DMC-GF1.Kameraet er svært kompakt, tar meget gode bilder (også i auto-modus) og har en flott LCD-skjerm som b...
Abstract: Kameraet benytter standarden Olympus Micro Four Thirds, så du fx også kan bruge Olympus-objektiver. Panasonic har dog selv udviklet en hel serie af matchende objektiver, blandt andet et lille 20 mm, der reelt svarer til 40 mm. Det er ekstremt hurtigt ...
Abstract: Det centrale ved Micro Four Thirds-standarden er, at kameraet er bygget op omkring en stor kvalitetssensor fra et spejlreflekskamera, men at det ikke har spejlreflekssøger og derfor er konstrueret langt mere kompakt. Alligevel har Olympus’ og Panasonic...

Abstract: Gdy system Micro 4/3 (Micro Four Thirds) został zaprezentowany w sierpniu 2008 roku , wywołał w środowisku fotograficznym duże poruszenie. Według jednych,
Abstract: Çok az kompakt fotoğraf makinesi size hem esnek, hem kolay bir kullanım ve bunlara ek olarak kaliteli sonuçlar sağlayabilir. Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1, işte böyle bir makine. Ürünü uzun süreli bir fotoğraf turunda etraflıca kullanma imkanı bulduk ve şunu sö...
