  • Re...
  • Compact size. Fast continuous shooting. Hot shoe and accessory port. Built-in flash.
  • Panasonic's micro four thirds predecessors

  • Combined with Panasonic's veteran touch-screen/direct-control hybrid interface

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:  IT 매체에서 일하다 보니 주변 사람들로부터 좋은 제품을 추천해 달라는 요청을 자주 받곤 한다. 그런데 이들 중에는 ‘성능은 최상급에 크기도 작고 무게도 가벼우며 가격도 싸야 한다'는 무모한(?) 조건을 내세우는 사람이 적지 않다. 사실 이런 조건을 완벽히 갖춘 제품을 찾기란 하늘의 별 따기다. 다만 요즘 기술이 발전하다 보니 위의 조건들을 100%는 아니더라도 최소 51% 정도는 만족시키는 제품이 더러 있기는 하다. 대표적인 것이 요즘 인기를 끌고 있...

  • Abstract:  현재 나오는 미러리스 카메라들은 Lumix에게 아직 한참 배워야 할 것들이 있다. 연사, 화소, 고감도 화질… 다 중요하다. 그런데, 셔터를 누름과 이미지를 콕! 찍어 만들어 내는 정확성과 인터페이스 적인 면은 더 중요하다. 최근의 대세. ...
