  • Abstract:  You're ready for a camera upgrade. You've outgrown the best point-and-shoot cameras, but a DSLR is a little excessive. Luckily for you, there's a middle ground. Mirrorless, interchangeable lens cameras—even affordable ones—are getting really, really good....

  • Quality: I enjoyed the quality of the GF3's shots, sharp and accurately coloured.Why you'd buy the GF3: it's real, real small; easy to fall in love with the AF function; you want to use Leica lenses.Why you wouldn't: you want to shoot stills while recordi...

  • Compact, Many lenses available, Speedy performance, Touch-screen display,
  • Slightly soft kit lens, So-so low-light performance, Large kit lens, No hot shoe or accessory port,
  • The touch-screen Lumix DMC-GF3 is Panasonic's smalllest Micro Four Thirds camera. Its low-light performance and sharpness aren't on the same level as some competitors, but it is still a very capable camera. ...

  • There is little going against the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 digital camera other than a missed opportunity to upgrade an LCD screen used in previous models. However, the GF3 on so many fronts just gets it right. From retailer shelf appeal, to th...

  • For the casual shooters that Panasonic is targeting with this camera, the GF3 is a solid choice. With its kit lens, it fits in a small bag or a jacket pocket, and is more powerful than most fixedlens compacts.Olympus continues to offer the most serious co...

  • Panasonic Lumix GF3 verdict The Panasonic Lumix GF3 takes the mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (ILC) to a much wider audience. It pushes the GF series further towards the casual photographer and away from the enthusiasts at which ILCs were ini...

  Published: 2011-09-20, Author: Jeremy , review by: camcorderinfo.com

  • Panasonic has consistently produced some strong video-capable cameras that use the Micro Four Thirds format. The GF3 showed promise in our low light video tests—where it beat out the competition by a significant margin—and we liked the way the camc...

  • Comparing the GF3 to its predecessors is a bit like looking at one of those “history of man” posters in reverse. Where the GF1 features enthusiast-level amounts of control, physical dials, and customizable options, the GF2 and now GF3 feature intellig...

  • For all its benefits, including its fast autofocus system and small, highly portable design, the 12MP Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF3 is a camera that's liable to divide users. On the one hand, this Compact System Camera (CSC) fulfills the promise of Micro Fou...
