  • And the GF2's inability to lock the focus area from accidental screen presses--a flaw of all the company's touch-screen ILCs--remains a huge point of frustration. It also has a disappoin

  • qualité des photos, grande qualité des vidéos, ergonomie relativement bonne, interface tactile, qualité de fabrication, compacité relative, modes AF et en particulier assistance de mise au point en mode manuel (1-zone), qualité de l'écran, AF actif en mode vidéo.
  • dosage du flash, inertie relative dans le déclenchement, absence prise micro externe.
  • Le appareils Panasonic de la série G, les APN hybrides, se multiplient. Après la sortie du GH2 il y a quelques mois, voici donc un autre APN à capteur micro 4/3 et objectif interchangeable, à savoir le Lumix DMC-GF2. Tout comme le GH2 par rapport au GH...

  • Abstract:  Présenté comme le compact à objectif interchangeable avec flash le plus petit du monde par Panasonic, certains ne seront pas forcément d’accord, surtout depuis le NEX-5 de Sony. Dans tous les cas, voici le successeur du Lumix GF1, le Lumix GF2. Le GF1 ...

  • Mode iA efficace, simplicité d'utilisation, Interface tactile ou boutons, au choix, Écran confortable (définition, angles de vision), Qualité d'image jusqu'à 800 ISO, vidéo efficace, Compacité avec un objectif "pancake"
  • Interface trop allégée ?, À moitié tactile (menus par exemple), Qualité d'image passés 1600 ISO, Obturateur trop bruyant, Pas d'orientation automatique des images sans objectifs stabilisé
  • Le GF2 est un bon successeur au GF1. Orienté plus grand public, il bénéficie d'une interface tactile assez agréable ; il gagne aussi en réactivité et (un peu) en qualité d'image. Enfin, son mode vidéo est comparable aux meilleurs....

  • Compacité / tactile utilisable, Richesse des RAW / mesure d'expo fiable, Piqué du 14 mm / compatible photo 3D, Qualité des vidéos HD - FullHD
  • Imagerie quasi inchangée depuis GF1, 14 mm de qualité mais pas polyvalent, Ergonomie simplifiée / réglages manquants, Pas de HDR ni de panoramique
  • Le GF2 marque le retour de Panasonic sur les compacts à objectifs interchangeables, il était temps. Et on ne peut s'empêcher de trouver que cette actualisation a un parfum de contre attaque face au NEX-5. Le GF2 reprend en tout cas des éléments qui ont fa...

  • Ottiche intercambiabili, dimensioni contenute, elegante
  • Qualità da compatta evoluta e non da reflex, display touchscreen poco reattivo
  • La Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 è una fotocamera innovata ed è fuor di dubbio che le compatte a ottiche intercambiabili, o reflex senza specchio che dir si voglia, stiano incontrando un forte interesse da parte del pubblico. Per questo, tutti gli addetti ai la...
