Photos: Sizing up the Lumix G1

By Leonard Goh
Oct 29, 2008

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is the world's first Micro Four Thirds shooter. The new interchangeable lens system promises a smaller physique compared with dSLRs, yet operates like a point-and-shoot. Before putting this camera through its paces in our Lab tests, we decided to show just how small the G1 is compared with the Canon EOS 450D, Fujifilm FinePix S100FS and Canon PowerShot G9.


The G1 looks like your average dSLR because findings from Panasonic's market survey revealed that the general consumer still prefers traditional designs which they associate with professionalism. Thus the company designed the shooter with a decent hand grip and prism hump, even though there is no mirror mechanism within the camera.
