I really like the color and design of this camera, when will cnet asia be doing a full review of it. I'd like to know its comparison to DSLRs regarding image quality and noise handling, specially on low light conditions and iso performance, autofocusing, AF points continuous shooting mode, how fast is it? and lastly its market price.
I think most people are missing a point here

I looked at some of the comments posted about the G1, of which a number of people said that, for that kind of price they might as well get a proper DSLR like the A200 or those from Canon and Nikon, however I think most people are missing a point here i.e. the G1 has live view and an articulating LCD which is missing from all entry level DSLR and from what I can think of, only the top end range Olympus E3 has that to date for a DSLR and it cost many times more not to mention the size and bulk (I happen to own the E3) . Also G1 has the advantage of 100% view in the viewfinder, this is only possible in pro DSLR. Of course to some people this may not be important but I think that to some others these are very important features which are currently not available in entry level and mid level DSLR. Also the size of the G1 may just be slightly smaller than an entry level DSLR but consider this, the articulating 3" LCD adds to the size, which if incorporated to a standard DSLR will increase it's size and weight tremendously. I think for handling sake a camera should not be too small, that is ergonomics, it needs to fit the hand nicely. Also I think the G1 is targeted for people who one fuss free photography and who do not print their photos to mega-size hence noise is not really an issue. I think Panasonic has done a very good job with the first micro four thirds camera.take back

I take back what i said about this cam's performance, i just saw sample images of this camera at dpreviews. They were awesome, very much like most entry level dslr's and at high iso's too. The problem though is it is only compatible to four thirds lenses, and very few accessories available for this camera. Wonder why it is not classified as a dslr, its performance is better or at least same with entry levels.Jump to page: [1]
