5.0 out of 5 stars Fun little camera with big-camera punch, July 2, 2011

This review is from: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 12 MP Micro Four-Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with 3.0-Inch Touch-Screen LCD and 14-42mm Lens (Black) (Camera)
Having used different 35mm film camera from Leicaflex and R4, to Contax G2, to Canon EOS DSLR, this is a nice comfortable small camera with almost all the features of the aforementioned cameras. I can use almost ALL my Leica lenses, as there are practically adapters for all the popular mounts (in manual modes only, of course). I don't miss my SLR anymore (okay, i still like my Leica!). In fact, with a full-size SLR lens, it actually feels comfortable with a hefty lens and the light camera body.

The 12MP imager is much sharper than the 8MP in the EOS I was used to; and i always like the warm and vibrant color balance/tone of the Lumix processor. The pop-up flash is neat, and you can tug it to point it upward with you finger for bounce-flash (actually I learned this from an Olympus tech at a demonstration of the EPL2!) The 3-inch LCD is big and bright but if you have vision issue, manual focusing can still be a problem (same with any camera without a diopter-corrected... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2, November 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 12 MP Micro Four-Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with 3.0-Inch Touch-Screen LCD and 14-42mm Lens (Black) (Camera)
Pros:
- LCD has great color and viewing angles
- Light
- Stereo video
- Hotshoe
- Responsive touchscreen
- Snappy startup
- Dedicated movie button
- Automatic image rotate
- Flash is mechanically released; you can tilt it up for ceiling flash shots, which is nice
- Surprisingly easy to grip (not great, but better than expected for the slim body)

Cons:
- Menus a bit confusing
- Lens is huge (this is excusable)
- Thumbwheel is a bit stiff
- Flash does not extend high enough to avoid 14-42mm lens; ergo, some shadow appears from the lens
- Flash power is okay
- Camera strap is generic and uncomfortable; plan on getting a better one
- Some special color effects inhibit speed (only the really fancy ones, though)

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but lacking in a few areas., September 13, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 12 MP Micro Four-Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with 3.0-Inch Touch-Screen LCD and 14-42mm Lens (Black) (Camera)
All in all this is a reasonably good camera, and the average shooter looking for something to take on vacation that's compact but fairly powerful won't be disappointed.

However, it is lacking in two key areas. First, the touch screen is a little clunky - though it is nice for its ability to click on an image and simultaneously focus on that object and take the picture. Second, the high ISO noise performance is weak relative to one of it's key rivals - the Sony Alpha NEX line. The Sony line has an APS-C size sensor, which is larger and produces superior images, especially in low light. Since getting the GF2 I sold it and purchased an Alpha NEX-3, which is now out of production. I have numerous shots from the Alpha at ISO 3200 that are printable at 8x10 easily. If you value that level of performance - I would look at the NEX line.
