Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3

The G3 is the third generation of a camera, a new division created the market for digital cameras. These models have large sensors and interchangeable lenses that give a digital SLR image quality and flexibility, but they omit to keep optical viewfinder size and weight below.


The G3 is a great departure from the outgoing G2. It is even smaller and lighter, while the zoom lens and hump mean the electronic viewfinder that it has still SLR-like proportions. It is not in a bag press in contrast to the Panasonic GF2 or the recently announced sequel, the Panasonic Lumix GF3. We cannot say that we are impressed by the renovated handle. The G2 chunkier design felt more secure in his hand and posed no practical problem, as it is still much shorter than was the kit lens. The battery is smaller, only 270 pictures of a fee is disappointing.


We are pleased, you will find the same electronic viewfinder as with earlier models you see. The 1.4 megapixel resolution and expansive size mean it is just as detailed as consumer SLR optical viewfinder. However, it is no longer a sensor detects when the camera to the eye, which automatically moved between the 2.6.3in LCD on the G2 is thrown and articulates the viewfinder. Having to switch manually took some getting used to, especially when the viewfinder to frame shots and quickly jump, to the controls or touch screen to adjust settings.


On the subject of controls there are to much less this time. The dials and switches for selecting the drive mode, focus scope and automatic/manual focus have disappeared. So have the AF/AE lock and depth of field Preview button area, although the dispinterface and Q.Menu buttons these functions can be reassigned. Then, the dispinterface and Q.Menu on the touch screen buttons are still available.
