  • Relatively compact for its class; excellent performance; good-to-great photo quality.
  • Lacks a tilting LCD; no EVF option; can't record stereo audio.
  • The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 offers the type of performance and photo quality in a relatively small design many point-and-shoot graduates will like. ...

  • Abstract:  Launched just six months after the GF2 (which we liked apart from its touchscreen interface), the GF3 will raise eyebrows if you're expecting a better specced bundle. This time, in stripping away a hot shoe, accessory port and stereo mic, Panasonic has ta...

  • Lightweight and compact; fast autofocus speed; built-in Flash; records full HD videos.
  • No EVF port and Flash hotshoe; odd placement of microphone.
  • The Panasonic GF3 is a great camera. The design, size and weight makes the camera easy to use for everyday shooting. Also, the Creative Control filters and touchscreen interface was fun to use and it's a great way to ease in more casual users into usin...

  • Su tamaño es compacto y cómodo para llevar a cualquier lugar en una mochila pequeña; sus lentes también son compactos. Su velocidad y tecnología de enfoque y toma
  • Hay que tener una buena variedad de lentes para poder fotografiar todo tipo de escenas. El flash se siente algo sensible y podría llegar a romperse con un mal movimiento
  • Si te gustan los diseños elegantes y tener un equipo compacto con buena calidad, esta Lumix no te va a defraudar. Es probable que necesites un poco de conocimiento sobre fotografía, pues cuenta con funciones para tener más control sobre tus imágenes....

  • Après une première génération d’hybrides handicapés par des manques divers et variés, les constructeurs proposent des solutions plus abouties et réellement attractives. C’est le cas du Panasonic GF3, hybride au format compact qui se rapproche beaucoup ...

  • Ergonomie et simplicité d'emploi, Qualité d'image jusqu'à 1600 ISO, Vidéo HD 1080i, Écran tactile agréable et facultatif
  • Gestion du bruit passés 1600 ISO, Menu général inexplicablement pas tactile, Pas de possibilité de brancher un flash externe, Prise de son juste acceptable (mono, souffle. ), Pas d'orientation automatique des images sans objectif stabilisé
  • Directement destiné au grand public, le GF3 se prive de quelques fonctions appréciées des experts (griffe flash, accès direct aux modes manuels...). Pour sa cible, cependant, il reste un petit appareil simple et sympathique, qui délivre de belles image...

  • Abstract:  Chez Panasonic, la gamme des compacts à objectifs interchangeables G se hiérarchise en 3 segments. La gamme GH est clairement celle dédiée au monde de la vidéo, tandis que les G viennent, un peu schématiquement, remplacer les reflex amateurs. Quant aux GF...

  • Ce serait une erreur de voir le Panasonic GF3 comme un compact de luxe. C’est un petit appareil qui peut réellement prendre des photos de qualité « reflex ». Ceci dit, il coûte aussi cher que certains Reflex, donc c’est normal que nos attentes soient é...
