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

Avec son Lumix GF1, Panasonic répond au Pen E-P1 d’Olympus. Premier compact micro 4/3 à objectifs interchangeables du constructeur japonais, le GF1 constitue une alternative aux encombrants reflex....
Autofocus rapide et mode iA performant, Qualité des images jusqu'à 8001600 ISO, Vidéo 720 p avec suivi autofocus, Système à objectifs interchangeables et antipoussière performant, Compacité (avec 20 mm), élégance et polyvalence
Pas de stabilisation optique intégrée, Viseur électronique perfectible, Molette de réglage trop petite, Encore bruyant (obturateur mécanique), Tendance à sousexposer les images
Avec le GF1, Panasonic signe une belle réussite : l'appareil est relativement petit, réactif, bien pensé et délivre une belle qualité d'image largement au-dessus de la moyenne des compacts. S'il n'est pas exempt de petits défauts, il fera le bonheur de...
Abstract: Marre des gros reflex, saoulé par les compacts et leurs petits capteurs? Il y a un an à peine, à part quelques appareils un peu exotiques tels que le DP1 de Sigma, point de salut. En un an, Panasonic en est à son troisième appareil Micro 4/3, preuve...
Abstract: Après les quelques tests réalisés avec un boîtier non définitif, nous vous invitons à examiner les nouveaux clichés pris dans les conditions classiques de nos tests. Le Panasonic GF1 ne propose pas plusieurs niveaux de réduction du bruit électronique...
sehr gute Bildqualität, schnell, integrierter Blitz, sehr kompakt und leicht, edel verarbeitet
verhältnismäßig teuer, lange Abschaltzeit, verbesserungswürdiges Mikrofon, Rauschen in höheren ISOBereichen
Eins ist sicher: Eine Systemkamera, ganz gleich welchen Herstellers, ist kein vollwertiger Ersatz für ein DSLR-Gerät. Die Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 kommt der Klasse aber überraschend nahe und ist dabei wesentlich kompakter. Bildqualität und Ausstattung ...
