The Lumix G3 is the latest model of the range of Panasonic compact, DSLR-like of Micro four third. It is much smaller and lighter than its predecessor G2 and sports a new sensor 16MP, the same super-fast autofocus system than that used by GH2, a 3 inch articulated monitor that provides control sensitive touch screen on the camera and Full HD video recording capabilities. The G3 is located above the G2 in the range of the G series, but is not really replace. Instead, G2 remains in the meantime, replacing the now abandoned G10 as the option of Micro four third of the budget. Alongside G2, G3 is most of the work by high-end GH2 and slimline GF2.
With a price of £ 630 official launch, trustworthy online retailers pré-commandes are already popping up offering the G3 body with a lens Kit 14-42 mm for approximately £ 600. And as is often the case expect that certain refresh can occur after the G3 has been for a month or two.
To be a relatively new and therefore niche market that has been created and dominated by Panasonic and Olympus with their joint third four Micro platform, the compact system camera market has evolved since then in many more mass market affair, with new manufacturers wishing to join the party and launch their own models. It is a much more severe market to dominate it 18 months ago. Panasonic has clearly understands this and hope that the G3 will keep the company at the top of the micro system.
To do this, will need to directly compete with rivals micro models such as the 14 new 6MP system Samsung NX11 uses a larger APS - C size sensor and can be picked up for about 500 pounds and 14 2MP Sony NEX - 5 uses an APS - C sensor and can be purchased for around £ 550.
It is also possible to source a DSLR of entry very well specified for approximately £ 600, although you reimbursed course a penalty size and weight on the type of system micro deliberately compact and easy to carry, such is the penalty an appropriate optical viewfinder and the optical accompanying.
What is the G3 has what it takes to take competitors to win? Let's look more closely and discover.
