[REVIEW:] Panasonic GF1 Review – Thom Hogan (by thom)

I’ve been advocating a "small" competent camera for quite some time, either a compact type camera with an APS sensor (e.g. a Coolpix with a D5000′s guts) or a scaled-down DSLR (an FM3a-sized body with the D5000 core). Both are possible. Neither seem to be on Nikon’s horizon. Yet the micro 4/3 partners, Panasonic and Olympus, most certainly see what’s possible. I recently reviewed the Olympus E-P1, and that immediately brought up the request to also review the Panasonic GF1, which came out shortly after the E-P1. Both are cameras with similar user targets. The Olympus has retro styling, the Panasonic more modern styling.   — Thom Hogan
