Last week, we held a glance of a Lumix DMC-GF3, a ultimate further to Panasonic’s ever-growing family of Micro Four Thirds shooters. Turns out, a camera we spied in which YouTube video was legit: a association usually done it central as well as yes, it’s blank a prohibited shoe. Available in 4 colors with 12.1 megapixel resolution, it uses Panny’s ultimate imaging processor, shoots 1080i AVCHD video, as well as has a 3-inch touchscreen, ISO operation of 160 to 6400, as well as a common form of smart Auto enhancements. Unlike a GF2 — which isn’t starting anywhere, by a approach — it’s written with a greenest of novices in mind, which equates to it forgoes things gifted photogs competence like, such as a prohibited shoe as well as viewfinder. This a single has a mono, not stereo mic, as well as swaps in a elementary corkscrew circle upon a behind side. Panasonic additionally rejiggered a hold UI to have sure settings simpler to find, as well as combined a tiny art filter — already a tack upon Olympus’ PEN series. Oh, as well as as a beginner-friendly camera, it looks some-more similar to a point-and-shoot than a DSLR — it’s fifteen percent lighter than a GF2, as well as seventeen percent smaller.
The GF3 will be accessible in Jul for $699 with a 14mm lens, to be followed in late Aug by a $599 pack which comes with a 14-42mm lens. In a meantime, conduct upon past a mangle as well as check out a impressions after spending a couple of mins with a not-final section as well as a 14mm lens. We usually got to fool around with it in a fluorescent discussion room, alas, though hopefully a handful of exam shots will give we a ambience of what we can do with a abyss of margin should we open for a higher-end of a dual kits.
