The editors didn't like

  • While the pancake lens is great

  • Mit der Lumix GF1 hält Panasonic ihr Versprechen, dank Micro-FourThirds kleine und leistungsstarke Kameras mit Wechselobjektiven anzubieten. Die GF1 ist nicht nur kompakt, sondern auch weitgehend bedienungsfreundlich. Sie liefert ansprechende, knackige...

  • Voor het overige heeft Panasonic met de GF1 een prachtige camera afgeleverd en verdient het merk alle lof. Het pad naar succes is vaak eenzaam, maar de wijze waarop Panasonic het Micro FourThirds systeem opvolgt met het ontwerpen van camera's zoals de Pan...

  • Abstract:  Spegellösa kameror är den nya trenden, en trend som tycks hålla i sig. Konceptet har många fördelar, bland annat kortare skärpedjup och bra brusegenskaper. Genom att ta bort spegeln och den optiska sökaren har kamerorna kunnat göras mindre och lättare...

  • Panasonic Lumix DCM-GF1 får beröm av testarna. Robust känsla, många bra funktioner och riktigt bra autofokus är några av lovorden. Modellens känns dock inte så välbalanserad enligt testarna....

  • Abstract:  Lumix GF1 är Panasonics tredje kamera i G-serien, och med denna sätter de en ny standard för vad det unga Micro four thirds-systemet verkligen går för! Steady as a rockAtt kamerahuset är välbyggt och bastant behöver jag knappast nämna. Exceptionell by...

  • Abstract:  Panasonic har tagit fram en hel rad objektiv som passar kameran, bland annat ett på 20 millimeter (motsvarar 40 millimeter), som är extremt snabbt och har hög ljuskänslighet. De flesta väljer nog att åtminstone börja med det objektiv som ingår för 8 50...

  Published: 2010-02-14, review by: digitalfotoforalla.se

  • Abstract:  Typiskt för Micro Four Thirdskameror är att de har stora systemkamerasensorer av hög kvalitet. Kamerorna saknar däremot spegelreflexsökare och är därför betydligt kompaktare än systemkamerorna. Trots detta har Olympus och Panasonics kameror utbytbar...

  Published: 2009-12-11, review by: fotoguiden.se

  • Abstract:  Det är oundvikligt att jämföra Panasonic GF1 med Olympus Pen E-P1. De är båda sprungna ur ett gemensamt utvecklingsprojekt och mycket av elektroniken står Panasonic för. Kamerorna saknar spegel och optisk sökare och kan därigenom göras mindre än en kon...
