@ChArLiE9321 The 14mm and 20 mm pancake lenses are not bulky and not heavy. Also you could use other 4/3 pancake lenses such as the Olympus 17mm 2.8 and still retain the autofocus facility. These are all very versatile, wide angle lenses that make the GF1/GF2/GF3 very pocketable.

@Esrhan The GF2 has improved features (except the lack of a socket for a remote actuator, now removed), including better engine, stereo sound and better HD video all in a smaller/lighter frame. The touch screen is an uptodate feature; things change, as they do. The GF3 has lost other features such as stereo sound, actuator socket and hot shoe so, maybe, is a move towards backwards feature-wise, but the frame is tiny and pocket ability is a useful feature for some people.

ITNM ZOOM LUMIX GF2 Terima kasih Institut Terjemahan Negara Malaysia (ITNM) kerana memilih resensi saya dari buku "Panas, Rata dan Sesak" sebagai penerima hadiah pertama Peraduan Ulasan Ulas Buku ITNM. Selepas ini saya akan zoom zon 'panas, rata dan sesak'.

Mode dial and swivel screen would be spot on, shame its near perfect for me.

Couldn't agree more with Peter Thompson's comment. Buy the camera, use the camera and then pass judgement. Have three lenses, 20mm F1.7, 14mmF2.5 and 14-42mm kit lens. Pity lens mount of zoom is not metal, as on the other two. I have found that all three lenses have more than adequate sharpness, especially so the 12mm. I am used to an eye level viewfinder and the EVF will probably be my next purchase, as i grew up in the days of olympus Pen film cameras, Nikkormat ftn, Pentax MX and ME Super

@ChArLiE9321 It's much lighter and much, much smaller than most DSLR's. This can fit into a small small bag that would be much more portable than the size of the bags you use for DSLR's with multiple lenses... for me I want this because I build guitars. If I had a camera like this... I could meet and great bands, take high quality professional photo's and then walk right into the concert and take professional video and it be only a shy larger than a regular compact with smaller image sensors.

I think the intent of this model is an answer to the Oly PL1. Therefore its a awesome delivery of a camera. I think it will sell like hot cakes. People who are considering a big (read DSLR) may just go for this instead of something like the LX5 and all its competitors. Go Panasonic, competition is good.

@GarbageState The lock is called the 'off switch'.

how are lowlight shots compared to the lx5 and GF1?

The only problem I have with the GF1 and GF2 is image stabilization. How does not have image stabilization affect shots?

why not add a thin AMOLED fully swiveling screen like on the G2?

So in your tests which camera is funner to use GF1/GF2?

is there nigh vision?

@yunhen3350 Exactly.. And they should've improved the LVF too.. GF2 is smaller, lighter and better software but I think it's NOT for current GF1 owners.. Still thinking about Finepix X100 and Sigma DP2S as a backup camera though..

I miss the mode dial

@TheCARCOON11 ...as in 'the end is nigh?' ...

Mirrorless?

Still use this camera.

@@leslawrenson I just sold mine. But fortunately the buyer is very happy with it.

cute but its only pocketable with a non-zoom pancake and still too expensive. I admit that decreasing the size its a step forward!

Don't see that point in compacts, you still have to carry the bulky lenses around, making it not compact? Far too overpirced as well, you can buy a 550d for the same price if you look in the right places.

LOL! Is he doing a portrait/model shoot with a 14mm lens? Thats hilarious.

I have no idea how to zoom the camera out

I use this with an M Zuiko 14-42 zoom lens and I use the ring on the lens. It isn't brain science, to be fair. Perhaps you should give up photography and take up something a little less challenging, like darts.

@@ZuppaDuppa So, why are you still like that? Zoom lenses have rings on them that, when you twist them they - wait for this - zoom. Do you know what the on/off button does? I can draw you a picture, if you like.

dont like it ,might as well buy a compact . it will need to be cheap . i was going to buy a GF1 and bought the NX100 instead . they should have incrementally improved the GF1 . sony have designed a NEX horror and now lumix too . small is not always better

who's that beautiful girl?????? :D
