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
Fast and accurate autofocus, Great ISO performance, Manual controls at fingertips, Plenty of customizable commands, Very easy to use camera
Awkward forced grip, X 1442mm lens is difficult to use, Quick Menu button is close to edge
The Panasonic Lumix GX1 presents an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, upgrade from the GF1. In fact, you could pretty much think of the GX1 as the GF2, if the actual GF2 had never happened. Those who have waited two years for a new GF1 could feel a...

Retour aux sources pour Panasonic avec le Lumix GX1. Le constructeur propose un appareil compact à objectifs interchangeables aux fonctionnalités poussées et complètes, totalement personnalisable et clairement destiné aux utilisateurs experts....
Abstract: Cette famille d'appareils est la plus récente dans l'histoire de la photo numérique. Elle est la réponse que les constructeurs ont apportée aux deux souhaits, sur le papier contradictoires, de nombreux utilisateurs : avoir la qualité d'image d'un refle...
Qualité ISO jusqu'à 3 200 (en RAW), Poignée / boutons Fn / couche tactile, Réactivité / AF performant / WB fiable, Finition / objectif X compact
Jpeg assez doux / écran LCD améliorable, Bug de l'objectif X à 42 mm et 1/160e s, Molette de pouce pas précise, Vidéo décevante / peu de fonctionnalités
Ceux qui étaient tombés amoureux du GF1 et attendaient impatiemment un remplaçant en restant fidèle à la marque seront servis. Le GX1 fait mieux que le GF1 en tous points! Et notamment sur le plan de la qualité d'image, où le nouveau capteur Live MOS de...
L’appareil photo Panasonic GX1est un hybride micro 4 :3 doté d’un capteur de 16 Mpixels. Plus cher que le GF3, il est aussi plus performant. Nous l’avons testé avec l’optique motorisé ultra-compacte 14-42 mm mais aussi la focale fixe 20 mm ouvrant à 1....
Obturateur toujours bruyant, Pas de mode manuel en vidéo (ni de prise micro), Zoom à commande électrique (délai pour choisir la focale)
Le GX1 est un excellent successeur au GF1, qui lui apporte les bonnes idées des modèles plus encombrants (G3) et plus grand public (GF3). Agréable et efficace, c'est un COI de choix pour qui veut accéder rapidement à tous les réglages. ...
Compact et robuste, Capteur de 16 Mpix, Ecran tactile, Deux touches paramétrables
Une seule molette, Pas de viseur intégré (en option), Nouvelle prise propriétaire pour le viseur électronique
En tant qu'appareil seul, ce GX1 vaut quatre (bonnes) étoiles : le NEX-5N de Sony reste plus performant (meilleurs résultats en basse lumière, fonctions 3D et panorama, etc.). Mais, combiné aux excellents objectifs micro 4/3 (notamment les focales fixes)...
