Super fast AF ; High ISO performance ; Image quality

Long-winded menus ; Poor battery performance ; No external microphone socket

Overall, we're mightily impressed by the specifications, handling, performance and overall image quality of the G3. Having spent some extended shooting time with it, we’re confident enough to say that it’s Panasonic's best G-series model yet. Yes, the...

The pitch here is nigh DSLR quality but from a camera with more compact proportions and easier handling. But with competition coming from the good value, well performing and similarly mirror-less DSLR-styled Samsung NX11 model, not to mention true...

Compact size ; Built-in EVF ; Articulated LCD ; Touchscreen with Touch Shutter

No eye sensor ; No electronic level ; EVF still needs work

Though the compact-styled GF1 proved very popular as a 'take-everywhere' camera for enthusiast photographers, its replacement - the GF2, left these users nonplussed. This was largely down to the fact that Panasonic simplified the handling, removed...

Friendly and approachable even when compared to a mid range DSLR, lighting fast response times, smaller, lighter yet more feature packed than its G2 predecessor, vari angle LCD monitor plus high resolution EVF alternative

Nit-picking really: handgrip slightly compromised to achieve overall small-ish form factor, we’d have liked an eye sensor for swapping between EVF and LCD, loss of highlight detail under sunnier skies, high-ish price for anyone trading up from a point...

Available from mid June, the enticing aspects of the G3 are a smaller form factor than the G2, improved feature set, plus arguably even easier handling - and all for the same price as its forebear on launch. Alternatively if you’re on a budget the G2...

The LUMIX DMC-G3 doesn't disappoint when it comes to image quality. It can capture very clear images and it's a fun camera to use. It's a compact camera that's a lot easier to carry around that a digital SLR, yet it still offers similar functionality.

Jam-packed with advanced features and delivering blistering speed. The DMC-G3 is the tiny camera that serious photographers will love.

The screen is mounted on an articulating hinge, which makes it easy to compose shots from a variety of angles. This combines well with the screen’s touch-sensitivity. There’s also a Touch AF mode, which enables an autofocus (AF) point to be set by...

Approachable and user friendly, lightweight compared with a mid-range DSLR, 25% smaller and approx 10% lighter than the G2 predecessor, vari-angle LCD plus EVF

Still a tad pricey for the average Joe, smaller dimensions mean a small handgrip, clipped highlight detail in sunnier conditions, no eye sensor for switching between LCD and EVF

The smaller size of the Lumix will prove a real benefit for those wishing to travel light, but it’s worth noting that unless fitted with a ‘pancake’ lens, the G3 isn’t a pocketable option. You should also be sure that you’re comfortable using the...
