Once again, Panasonic has created a very impressive ILC in the G3, combining fine imaging with a well-evolved touchscreen experience. Users who want to exploit RAW shooting should take some time to experiment with noise reduction.If you're not that type, ...

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 delivers great photo quality and useful features like an articulated LCD and extended bracketing in a comfortable--if somewhat big--shooting design
While not bad, its performance is in the middle of the pack, and the battery doesn't last long enough
If you're looking for a camera that's not quite as big as a dSLR but doesn't skimp on hardware controls or features like an articulated LCD, EVF and stereo full HD video, the G3 is one of my top options. But performance is hit-and-miss for shooting ac...

The most important spec on the G3, in terms of video performance, is the fact that the camera can record 1920 x 1080 video—which is something its predecessor, the Panasonic G2, could not do. With this bump in recording resolution, we expected to see a...
The Panasonic G3 represents another step forward for the company’s line of Micro Four Thirds cameras, with a new sensor design that pushes the format in the key areas its other models have been falling behind Sony’s NEX offerings: high ISO performance...
Very good photo quality, Compact, generally welldesigned SLRstyled body, 3inch touchscreen LCD with 460,000 pixels, good outdoor visibility, Wellimplemented touch features include touch AF / touch shutter / customizable menus / image playback, Large, high resolution electronic viewfinder, Very good live view system with ridiculously fast autofocus, live histogram, custom grid lines, face detectio
Tends to underexpose a little; photos on the soft side with kit lens, Images have brownish cast in artificial light, Cluttered controls on back of camera, Features lost from DMCG2: external mic input, eye sensor for EVF, Flash is on the weak side, and a step down from what was on the G1/G2, Buffer fills fairly quickly (and takes a long time to flush) in burst mode, No manual controls in movie mod
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 is a compact, SLR-styled interchangeable lens camera that follows the Micro Four Thirds standard. It offers very good photo quality, very responsive performance (especially autofocus), a host of manual and automatic controls...
Great image quality which matches APS-C DSLRs, Articulated touch-screen with tap-focusing, HD video with quiet and fairly quick continuous AF, Very fast AF and face detection. Ideal portrait camera.
Slow continuous shooting when continuous AF is enabled, Live view not available during continuous bursts above 3fps, Traditional DSLRs better for low light or fast action photography, No external microphone input or manual movie exposures.
Panasonic's Lumix G3 is arguably one of the most complete and successful mirrorless 'EVIL' cameras to date. Panasonic has struck the right balance between size, weight, quality, features and price that should see the G3 appeal to a broad range of phot...
Abstract: In the final analysis the Panasonic G3 is a very attractive offering in its price range. While not as versatile or full featured as the GH2, the G3's lower price and smaller size is an attractive compromise, especially for those not needing advanced video features.
