Panasonic manages to make the G3 smaller than its predecessor and add more megapixels to its Four Thirds sensor all while raising the bar for the compact interchangeable lens class.
The Lumix DMC-G3 is the most well-rounded Panasonic compact system camera to date, offering a great mix of cutting-edge features, improved image quality, intuitive and customisable handling, and a very competitive price. It's also a genuine contender ...
Approachable and user friendly, lightweight compared with a mid-range DSLR, 25% smaller and approx 10% lighter than the G2 predecessor, vari-angle LCD plus EVF
Still a tad pricey for the average Joe, smaller dimensions mean a small handgrip, clipped highlight detail in sunnier conditions, no eye sensor for switching between LCD and EVF Product Shots The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 Micro Four Thirds camera is available in three body colours in the UK: red, white and, um, black (no blue?) Sample Shots The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 features various digital effe
Though the G3 isn’t cheap for anyone more used to a pocket snapshot of a digital camera, it is a jack of all trades device that manages to master most of what it purports to offer. We can see it going down a storm with family users who’d like more pr...

Poor battery life, EVF performance in low light, touchscreen should be more sensitive
The Lumix G3 has a whole lot to like: it's small (but not too miniature), neatly designed, has superb autofocus speed, a vari-angle LCD and decent built-in electronic viewfinder. Even image quality has been slightly improved over the Lumix G2 model des...
Very good image quality with impressive high ISO performance, Well-implemented touchscreen interface, Fast-focusing AF system (for its class), Improved skin tone rendering, AF point can be positioned along the edge of the frame, Touch AF can be disabled, Can shoot 4fps (but sadly not in live view), Ability to define two custom function buttons, Full 1080i AVCHD video from 30fps output, iA mode
Poor JPEG rendering at high ISOs, Lacks a dedicated AF/AE lock button, No eye sensor to switch between viewfinder and LCD, No external mic input, Small grip makes hand-held use of larger lenses awkward, Flush design of DISP. button makes it hard to press, Long wait times between image bursts in Raw mode, 20fps SH mode yields poor image quality, Continuous tracking performance suffers in low-lig
The G3 occupies a unique place in Panasonic's G-series lineup. With its impressive 16MP sensor and high quality built-in electronic viewfinder, this model would seem to hold appeal to DSLR owners looking for a lighter carry-everywhere camera. Yet it c...

Clear image quality, Very good focusing, Swift performance
What you see on the screen is not always what you yet, Video capturing is choppy
The LUMIX DMC-G3 doesn't disappoint when it comes to image quality. It can capture very clear images and it's a fun camera to use. It's a compact camera that's a lot easier to carry around that a digital SLR, yet it still offers similar functionality...
Refined design. Very good image quality. Touchscreen interface better than that on the G2
No sensor to automatically switch between EVF and LCD. Short battery life
The G3 is a great addition to the already-strong range of Panasonic interchangeable lens cameras, with a few notable omissions holding it back from being top notch....
