Rated 1 out of 5

Very disappointing.

I currently own a Fuji X100 that I purchased about a year after it was released and I love it. But currently I was seeking something that I could experiment different lenses on. So I went after the Lumix GX1, good price and had amazing reviews when it was released. Good construction, decent LCD, snappy enough... but the image quality is very very disappointing for today's standards. From what I recall, the X100 was released around the same time, and it's IQ is leaps ahead. So I returned it 2 days later and now I'm saving up to get something more recent.

awesome compact camera!

I purchased this camera to have a pocket sized option for times when bringing a full sized camera is impossible. Also intend to use this for street photography, as it is much less obvious compared to an SLR. Considering the size and cost of this camera, its overall capability is a pleasant surprise. If I really want to pick apart the performance, I can say that while high ISO performance is very good, I don't really like the way that Panasonic has chosen to mask noise (smears detail and color, rather than emphasizing chroma noise and "graininess" like some older cameras), I also find myself inadvertently activating buttons on the back of the camera that fall under my right thumb... Another mild annoyance is that it is very easy to change the point of focus by touching the screen, this can be deactivated, but if you choose to use this very nifty option, be aware that you will probably move the focus point unintentionally on a regular basis. Overall, I would rate this as a very powerful photographic tool, with potential to make images that rival DSLRs from a few years back, in a form factor that is much easier to bring along where ever you go. In terms of control, I prefer dedicated function buttons and knobs/wheels over menus and programmable hot keys, but I feel like this camera strikes a nice balance between keeping the camera small and allowing advanced users to take control.

solid camera

I am impressed with this camera, especially how easy it is to use. I use this as an alternative to my DSLR (and comparable if not better than my Canon T2i). I purchased this with the 20mm 1.7 - didn't bother getting the kit lens. Focuses well (I prefer using one-area focus instead of 23-area because it is much more accurate and specifically focuses on what you want focused). Great price on this camera. LCD resolution isn't the greatest compared to many cameras and smart phone.

An Awesome Experience with GX1

GX1 is truly remarkable. It focuses so quick and sharp. Its hybrid feature, manual and touch screen, is very helpful in controlling its functions. The body built is so compact and light for its kind. There are more nice things to say about this awesome machine. Try one and you'll surely enjoy it. I recommend to get familiar with its functions so as to get the best quality photo you truly desire. I love this mirrorless camera. If you are thinking of a travel lens, I would recommend Panasonic 14-45mm instead of the 14-42mm. I highly recommend this product to photo enthusiasts!

Great price for such a good camera

As a Olympus user, Panasonic GX1 is my first non Olympus 4/3 and m4/3 camera. the holding and two way rear dial is better than all e-pen series not even touch screen for such low price at first glance. It need more time to find surprising of this camera.

Got an awesome new GX1 for less than most P&S. What can be better than Adoramas awesome pricing?

Excellent camera!

Excellent all purpose camera in small compact form factor without the DSLR bulk. Fast focusing and nice image quality. High build quality--does not feel cheap. Quite a bargain at current end-of-cycle pricing.

Nicely portable and tossable!

Love it! I just stuck a 30mm prime on it and I bring it everywhere. In P mode I just hand it around and the results are amazing. The shutter lag is so miniscule that I seldom miss a shot.

Gx-1, So Far I Like It!

I didn't really need this camera, but the sale price was good and I wanted a backup for my Olympus E-P3. It will just take a little time to get used to it and so far I like it! I've put about 50 images through it so far and I'm pleased with the quality. The Panasonic software is kind of clunky so I stick with photoshop. One thing to note - this type of camera is lousy for things that move fast. If you're shooting sports stick with a DSLR.

Great M43 camera for advanced users

Pros: - Small compact body (especially when used with lens like the Panasonic 20mm/f1.7 and 14mm/f2.5 - Lots of direct manual control and buttons - Fast autofocus - Nice touchscreen interface - Metal body - Great value Cons: - No built-in EVF - Limited manual control of video - Dynamic range subpar compared to latest GH3, OM-D and Pen cameras Overall, highly recommended for Micro Four Thirds users.

SPECTACULAR DIGICAM

I use the camera with Leica mount lenses (with adapter) and with Panasonic lenses. The camera is so good that I bought a second body. Nothing that Panasonic can bring out can be that much better. I use the camera with an EVF. The noise is strikingly low- the quality in build and results is fabulous. I love Lumix.

Long video but with limited control

I got this camera primarily as a video camera - Panasonic seems to be the only manufacturer that doesn't universally limit video clips to 30min. For that, the camera seems to work fairly well - it can take 2h continuous video on a single battery, and the interface is pretty simple. Sadly, the simple interface comes at the loss of control - you have no direct control over frame rate that I've found. Might end up having to rely on hacked firmware.

Excellent choice

Fantastic deal at the current prices! It's a no brainer if you have any of the Panasonic lenses. If you don't, pick up the 20mm and you have a great small camera with excellent image quality indoors and out with great video. I have been using the GF1 since it came out and wasn't sure I wanted to upgrade but since the prices on the GX1 are so low now, I couldn't resist. It's a great choice. It focuses slightly faster than the GF1 and the touch screen is very nice for choosing your focal point vs. the GF1. If you have other lenses you can take this and several lenses with you for a very light-weight travel kit. I put this and 3 lenses in a bag and that weighed less than my Nikon D700 and one lens. I do wish the viewfinder wasn't extra but that's a personal preference. High ISO on this is much better than the GF1. There is an Intelligent Auto (IA) button on the top. You can push that while in any other setting and have it quickly switch to IA. Push it again and you are back to your previous mode. Very easy to use if you are stepping up from a point and shoot camera too. Great choice for all levels.

Great Intro to Micro 4/3

This is my first m4/3 camera, and so far I'm very happy with it. With a 20mm/1.7 pancake lens attached, it's not too much bigger than an advanced P&S, but the IQ is leaps ahead. It also feels very solid and well-built for its small size. There's a bit of a learning curve with the UI, but that's true of any advanced camera these days. My biggest negative is with the LCD screen. The screen resolution is not very high and the touchscreen not terribly responsive, so I end up using the scroll wheel and buttons for most operations. I've only used a prime lens so far so I can't really speak to the in-body vs. lens stabilization divide between Panasonic and Olympus. Overall though, I think for the combination of features, build quality, IQ, and price, you really can't go wrong with this camera body. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could.

lovely, versatile, well thought out

Lens adaptability is a marvel, mounted my Summicron 50 f2 c. 1970's what a combo, great auto exposure metering on Aperture priority as well as manual. Also using a Nikon Varifocal viewfinder c 1960's can live without EVF so far. Also tried a Nikon AIS 50mm f1.8 works great as well.

Fantastic deal at the current prices! It's a no brainer if you have any of the Panasonic lenses. If you don't, pick up the 20mm and you have a great small camera with excellent image quality indoors and out with great video. I have been using the GF1 since it came out and wasn't sure I wanted to upgrade but since the prices on the GX1 are so low now, I couldn't resist. It's a great choice. It focuses slightly faster than the GF1 and the touch screen is very nice for choosing your focal point ...

Great SLR replacement

By kniffendor

Sold my Canon T2i setup (body, 18-55, 55-250, 50 prime, and flash) to go to this body plus the Panasonic 14-140. Micro 4/3 sensors are a bit smaller than APS-C so the noise levels aren't going to be quite as good, but honestly I'd say it's at most a 1-stop difference between the T2i and GX1. Buttons galore and a decent amount of customization makes the body a breeze to use. Highly recommended!

The Panasonic DMC-Gx1 Camera (Black) records 1920 x 1080 full-HD video with stereo sound in AVCHD format which is superior in both compression efficiency and friendliness with AV equipment for playback. Advanced AF system including practical full-time AF and tracking AF is available in video recording so that every photographer can enjoy high quality video recording with minimum ease.

As a camera from the new premium line of LUMIx G Micro System, the external design of the camera has been developed with no compromising on grip, dial, coating - everything to detail. The hot shoe on the top lets you attach the optional tilt-shift Live View Finder (DMW-LVF2) of approx. 1.4x (approx. 0.7x), 1,440,000-dot equivalent, 100% field of view. It is now compatible with UHS-I standard for the SDxC/SDHC Memory Card taking its advantage to extend performance.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 16MP Camera Body - Black Features

  • The 16.0-megapixel Live MOS sensor plays a big role in high quality image rendering. With the dedicated circuit which reads out signals with minimum noise, the level of noise is significantly suppressed by more than 66%
  • Taking full advantage of the Live MOS sensor and Venus Engine, images to be shot in low-lit situations at max. 12800 high ISO sensitivity setting is stunningly clear with highly sharp resolution
  • In addition to the high-speed signal processing with its 3 CPUs, the image processor Venus Engine boasts its excellent performance with an adoption of noise reduction technology for even higher quality of image
  • By adopting the Micro Four Thirds System standard, the DMC-GX1 features mirrorless structure that eliminates the mirror box and optical viewfinder unit
  • The Intelligent D-range Control offers even more natural looking by optimizing the exposure for each part of an image, preventing blocked shadows and blown highlights and helping ensure that gradation and details are reproduced beautifully including the blue color of the sky
  • With the Intelligent Resolution technology, 3 areas - outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation areas - are automatically detected the most effective way according to the area
  • As a camera from the new premium GX line of LUMIX G Micro System, the external design of the camera has been developed with no compromising in every detail
  • The Level Gauge lets the camera detect the horizontal / vertical angle of view with its internal level working with the acceleration sensor. Photos shot in a portrait aspect will be automatically displayed vertically whatever lens is used
  • In spite of its compact size, the DMC-GX1's built-in flash has a light intensity that is equivalent to GN7.6 & you can adjust the intensity within a range of +/-EV 2 in 1/3 EV steps. It also lets you use 1st curtain sync
