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

  • 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

  • Kurze Auslöseverzögerung, Motorische Zoomverstellung
  • Keine
  • Panasonic schließt mit der Lumix DMC-GX1 die Lücke zwischen der ultrakompakten GF3 und der professionellen G3. Dabei ist die GX1 angenehm klein und liegt sicher in der Hand. Bei der Ausstattung wurde an nichts gespart: Touchscreen, Full-HD-Video, viele Mo...

  • Abstract:  De Panasonic GX1 is inmiddels al wat langer verkrijgbaar, maar we hebben hem een tijdje terug tegelijkertijd getest met de GF5, waardoor we ze mooi kunnen vergelijken. De zestien megapixel GX1 is een camera die meer dan de andere systeemcamera's van Panas...

  • Abstract:  De digitale spiegelloze systeemcamera is in opkomst. Zo'n beetje elke fabrikant van fotocamera's heeft anno 2012 een eigen model op de markt gebracht, met bijbehorende objectieven en accessoires. Het type camera vult het gat op de markt voor de consument ...

  • Abstract:  Конечно, мы любим новинки. И надеемся, что все наши читатели любят новинки. Это приятное ощущение – одним из первых держать в руках крутую камеру/телефон/планшет и говорить: «Да это просто бомба!» Производители стимулируют спрос на новую продукцию с помощ...

  • Камера сохранила все достоинства модели G3, но в то же время стала значительно меньше и, как следствие, удобнее. Из минусов стоит отметить невысокое разрешение дисплея, плохое сглаживание шрифтов и прочих элементов меню, не слишком шустрое включение, ош...

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 (назовем ее полным именем) в прекрасном стиле продолжает традиции GF1, занимая ее место самой сбалансированной камеры в беззеркальной линейке Panasonic. Удобная, но при этом компактная, сочетающая подробные ручные настройки и досто...
