Works exactly I expected with legacy lenses such as Nikkor and Leica, manual focus with auto highlighting is unique and powerful.

Had given this camera as a gift to my fiancé and she really enjoys it. She doesn't have a lot of experience with photography beyond smart phones and point-and-shoot cameras, nor do I for that matter, therefore there's a bit of a learning curve when adjusting to the controls. It appears to me, however that these controls are a bit more simplified than many other cameras with detachable lenses and so it will probably just take a little time. The size and color of this camera is just adorable and it fits her small hands completely. Seems a great gift especially for a female enthusiast. The lens is so compact. Easy to slide into a small handbag. Beware that the dimensions listed on adorama is not entirely accurate. It states "Dimensions (W x H x D)98.5 x 54.9 x 30.4 mm / 3.87 x 2.16 x 1.19" (including protrusions)" but I can tell you for a fact that the dimensions stated above are WITHOUT protrusions. The camera depth, with attached lens, is more like 2.2 inches with, perhaps, an extra tenth of an inch or less to add for the lens cover. Approx. 3.87 x 2.16 x 2.2. Think that might be helpful for anyone looking to purchase a properly fitting case. Also, there is no viewfinder but this shouldn't be a large issue for anyone that's picking this up after having taken pictures on their phone for the last decade and more. Overall, this camera is a fantastic departure from the common, dslr black cameras seen in the market. Would highly recommend.

I already have the great GM5 and wanted another body so I wouldn't have to change lenses so often. Just like my GM5 the GM1 is a wonderful camera and I'm very happy with the purchase and the price. Wasn't so sure about the blue color but I'm getting used to it and it looks better in person than on the web.

I was surprised by how this little camera can take such good quality photos. Very convenient and not bulky for traveling.

I had problems loading the photo software on my computer and maybe that"s why the images were so poor!

I just purchased this camera and I love how compact it is. The low light shots turned out extremely well. I am going to love this camera.

Coupled with the 12-32 zoom, the GM1 can do almost everything my bigger Olymous M43 cameras can do. -Those of us with several cameras may not take the time to learn the GM1 menu, but it's necessary to do so to get the full potential. This includes using the touch screen. -Picture and video quality is excellent. -Onboard flash is great, when other cameras don't have this feature.

Great little camera. Very portable and compact. The lens that came with the camera does not do it justice. The camera needs a faster lens if you want good low light pictures.

This is similar to the review I published on a different vendor's website. I've been searching for an interchangeable lens pocket camera with good image quality for a while now. I've used first a GF3 (limited IQ), then a GX1 (which I loved), and then a GF6. The problem with all three, even attaching a 20mm/f1.7 lens, was size. Though very good quality, they were too much of a pocketful. For its size, the GM1 is an amazing camera. With the 12-32mm zoom or the ever so slightly larger 20mm, it fits easily into the lower pocket found on most cargo shorts. Even with the larger 15mm/f1.7, it still fits easily. And in this package is the same sensor found in the GX7. I have moderately large hands so I was concerned the camera would actually be too small. So far that has not been a problem. The AF is as fast or faster than any other Panasonic camera I've used. Since I'm used to working with Panasonic cameras, learning to use this camera has been easy. The biggest difficulty is with its indiosyncracies, how it varies from what I'm used to. For example, there are no ISO or AE/AF Lock buttons. Changing the ISO is easily accessed via the Quick Menu but it's a variation to remember. I have AF/AE Lock assigned to the Fn1 button, but again that's a variation. The control ring is moved easily and is very sensitive to depression, so I occasionally activate the WB or Exposure Comp function when changing the f-stop. But these will just have to be learned. I suspect this is an artifact of the size reduction, but the initial appearance of the camera, while not disappointing, did make me wonder about the build quality. The appearance made me think of stamped steel cigarette tins. The GX and GF cameras are beautiful and everything their appearance suggests about build quality is borne out when you pick the camera up. They are solid and feel well made. You have to pick the GM1 up and handle it to receive the same level of reassurance. The restricted maximum aperture of the 12-32mm zoom lens limits its use to bright light situations. My usual lens for this camera will be the 20mm/f1.7. I only shoot raw images so I don't even know where to begin in evaluating this camera's JPG images. I won't be shooting video with this camera, so I'm not concerned with its video function, or lack thereof. The lack of a hot shoe is not an issue for me. I don't use the built-in flash, so I'm not concerned with its possible lack of power. That is a small battery, but I also shoot with a Sigma DP3 Merrill, so don't talk to me about (lack of) battery life. Buy an extra battery and keep it charged. One nit: the darker gray labels on the silver controls ans the silver label on the orange back of the camera can be hard to read under some common lighting conditions. Making all the labels black would have enhanced readability. Overall, I'm looking forward to using this camera more. It's a small package so the shortcut buttons found on larger cameras that I've become used to having are not present, but I'll figure that out and adapt. I believe my title summed it up well, this really is a powerful pocket camera.
