The editors didn't like

  • Manual focus not much fun
  • Touchscreen seems slightly vestigial
  • Thumb dial could be a lot meatier
  • Would be nice to have two dials
  • One for aperture
  • One for shutter
  • Rear buttons might be small for some users
  • LCD doesn't tilt
  • Blur issue with X lens at telephoto and certain shutter speeds
  • Mediocre macro performance
  • Below average hue accuracy
  • Or...
  • Large
  • Soft kit lens. Fixed rear LCD. Poor high ISO performance. Pricey
  • Like all micro four thirds cameras
  • The GX1's image quality gets noticeably noisy above ISO 800
  • And in some low-light situations
  • Photos shot above ISO 400 show some noise when you blow them up to 100 percent. The camera could use a faster processor to b
  • No builtin EVF
  • Pricey
  • Some rolling shutter in video
  • Just too expensive
  • Weird button arrangements
  • Noisy at high ISOs
  • Touchscreen should be more sensitive
  • The new X-series PZ kit lens could use some design tweaks
  • And Panasonic's JPEG processing
  • Though much better than before
  • Could still use a little work
  • Zoom on the included 1442mm lens is twitchy and imprecise in video mode. Autofocus struggles in low light
  • Pricey when paired with 14-42mm X lensPoor built-in flash performance
  • Conservative metering tends towards underexposure
  • Fastest continuous shooting modes come at the expense of live view
  • 20fps SH mode yields poor image quality
  • Limited manual exposure controls for video recording
  • Continuous tracking performance suffers in low-light
  • Low contrast scenarios
  • Minimal effect of in-camera dynamic range settings
  • Live view and AF not available in bursts above 3fps
  • No 1080p AVCHD
  • No manual movie exposures and no mic input
  • Easy to accidentally set a manual AF area with touch-screen
  • No articulated screen or built-in IS.
  • Expensive
  • Power zoom lens zooms too slowly
  • Movie mode outclassed by competition
  • Battery life could be better

  • Abstract:  Spegelfria systemkameror visar bilden i en elektronisk sökare eller på kamerans bildskärm. Då slipper du optisk sökare och en spegel som gör kamerans konstruktion mer komplicerad. Det här är samma teknik som kompaktkamerorna har använt länge. I dag fun...

  • Panasonic GX1 är i många avseenden en avancerad kamera. Du har möjlighet att justera dina inställningar, knappar och få det till att bli just »din« kamera. För film finns en inbyggd stereomikrofon, och funktionerna för justering av zoomhastighet samt d...

  • Abstract:  När ursprungliga Panasonic DMC-GF1 lanserades 2009 var den utan jämförelse den bästa systemkameran utan elektronisk sökare i entusiastklassen. Den var snabb och exakt att jobba med och tog utmärkta bilder. Sedan fick vi GF2 och nu senast GF3. Rent fo...

  • Mange har ønsket seg en ny kompakt entusiastmodell fra Panasonic og GX1 er nettopp det. Mens GF-serien har blitt mindre og mindre og mer og mer avhengig av touchscreen for hver generasjon har Panasonic i mye større grad prioritert ergonomi og fysiske ...

  • Svært høy oppløsning, Kjapp og responsiv, Stort utvalg optikk
  • Kjølig JPG-fargebalanse, Ingen mikrofoninngang
  • Har man vokst fra kompaktkameraet, er det ikke sikkert en GX1 er det beste valget. Men for erfarne fotografer kan funksjonsnivået, bildekvaliteten og de dertil tilhørende mulighetene GX1 gir, være svaret på en søken etter det perfekte kompakte systemka...

  • Jeg må ærligt erkende at jeg ikke har været den store fortaler for systemkameraer, for hvorfor skal man betale det samme for et systemkamera som et “ægte” digitalt spejlreflekskamera? Jeg har dog med tiden ændret mening! Der er rigtig mange der investe...

  • Abstract:  Da det oprindelige Panasonic DMC-GF1 kom på gaden i 2009, var det uden sammenligning det bedste systemkamera uden elektronisk søger i entusiastklassen. Det var hurtigt og præcist at arbejde med og tog glimrende billeder. Siden fik vi GF2 og senest GF3....
