Specifications: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 digital camera may look like a digital SLR, but it is in fact a hybrid model. It is essentially a point-and-shoot camera that has interchangeable lenses. This model can take images with up to 12.1MP in resolution. It has a pop-up flash and a huge, rotating 3-inch LCD display. It also comes with the Lumix G Vario 14mm-45mm lens. For power, it uses a 1250mAH Li-ion rechargeable battery. This camera ships with a lens cap, body cap, a case, shoulder strap, hood, a battery charger and a power adapter.

Design: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 digital camera comes in dark blue, red and black. Due to the huge interchangeable lenses, this model is far heftier than regular point-and-shoot cameras. The grip is good and most of the external controls are strategically placed. On the top of the grip, you will find a jog dial that lets you change the exposure compensation. Because of its location it is very easy to accidentally push the dial and make unintended changes. Other than that the other buttons are pretty well placed.

Features & Performance: Like many Panasonic cameras, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 digital camera performs really well. The shot-to-shot time was also pretty impressive at 0.9 seconds without flash and 1 second with flash. Even at ISO 800, the images taken were very sharp with low noise levels. The digital camera is a good choice if you are looking to make a transition between point-and-shoot cameras Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 and digital SLR cameras. The flexibility of interchangeable lenses, excellent image quality and great performance makes this model a very good buy.
