Successor to the GF1. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 is the rightful successor to the GF1. Remember that with both the GF2 and GF3, Panasonic decided to reach out to the point-and-shoot crowd with cameras that are easy to use with few external controls. In so doing, it gained a new marketshare but also sorely disappointed the enthusiast photographers who had migrated to the GF1 and was hoping for an upgrade. Not only does the Panasonic GX1 provide that upgrade, but it also rebrands the GF1 to a new product line, with changes that affect what accesories from the GF1 can or cannot be used on the GX1.
The GX1 adds a 3.0-in. (460k-dot) Touch Panel LCD, Full HD Movie 1920 x 1080/60i with stereo sound, an Electronic Level Gauge and 2 extra Fn buttons. In addition, this Micro Four-Thirds Interchangeable Lens Camera (ILC, or “compact mirrorless DSLR”) features 16MP resolution (on a 17.3 x 13.0 mm Live MOS Sensor), Shutter Speed range of 1/4,000 – 60 and Bulb, Continuous Shooting of 4.2fps (at 16MP; 20fps at 4MP), iA, PASM, Scene Modes, ISO 160-12800, Built-in Flash, and RAW. You can attach an optional 1,440,000-dot equivalent tiltable Live View Finder (LVF) DMW-LVF2 (purchase separately).
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 is compact, elegant and targets the enthusiasts who desire a configurable and compact high quality interchangeable lens camera with DSLR-level image quality and performance without the bulk and weight associated with a traditional mirrored DSLR.
