The editors liked
Compact and easy to handle
Most settings quickly accessible
Some customizable
Quick autofocus
Good image quality up until ISO 6400
Return to GF1 design is more appealing
Larger grip is better for medium-size hands
Built-in pop-up flash
Flash hotshoe
Video record button on the top deck for more natural access
GX1 uses wide metal lugs for straps
Which are quieter for video
Re...
Compact size. Fast continuous shooting. Hot shoe and accessory port. Built-in flash.
Panasonic's micro four thirds predecessors
The camera takes very nice photos in daylight
And the improved sensor resolution only makes daylight shooting easy. What really sets this camera apart
As I mentioned before
Is how easy it is to use. Any setti
Good images and color
Quick shutter and AF
Selection of manual controls for enthusiasts
High-quality 16-megapixel stills and Full HD AVCHD movies
Extensive photo tweaks
Solid build with quality 3-inch touchscreen LCD
Fast performance and excellent raw photo quality
Combined with Panasonic's veteran touch-screen/direct-control hybrid interface
Make the Lumix DMC-GX1 a strong ILC choice
Zoom and manualfocus levers ingeniously placed right on the lens barrel. Love the barelythere dimensions — and price!
Full-size hot shoeRetro
GF1-like designVery good image qualityFast and accurate focus and exposure
Highest resolution Micro Four Thirds sensor
Very good quality JPEG high ISO images
Improved white balance and skin tone rendering (compared to GF1)
Fast AF acquisition (particularly impressive in low light)
Shooting is possible while the buffer's data is being written to the card
Well-implemented touchscreen interface
Extensive manual control points including a mode dial and four Fn butto
Compact but solid build with lots of manual controls
Comparable quality to DSLR
But may need to tweak defaults
Snappy and responsive AF
And touch-AF for stills and movies
Continuous movie AF and long recording times outside Europe.
Great build quality
Intuitive layout
Superfast autofocus
Hotshoe
Good balance of system size to image quality
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
Abstract: 루믹스 GX1은 사진 애호가들이 많이 사용하는 DSLR 카메라에서 많은 것을 덜어냈다. DSLR의 핵심인 미러 구조를 없애고, 뷰파인더도 없앴다. 이마저도 모자라 두툼한 그립도 줄였다. 하지만 가장 중요한 화질과 성능만큼은 덜어내거나 타협하지 않았다. 이것이 작은 덩치에도 불구하고 큼지막한 카메라들 사이에서 루믹스 GX1이 주눅이 들지 않는 이유다.네모 반듯한 몸체에, 도드라진 그립과 뒷면의 다양한 버튼이 클래식 카메라의 향수와 흡사한 느낌이 든다. 색...
