  • 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

  • Is how easy it is to use. Any setti

  • 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

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
