It's impressive that Panasonic has managed to compress its excellent technology into a body as remarkably small as this. When you consider that this camera is smaller than the Pentax Q range, which features a compact camera sized sensor, that feat seems e...

Having Panasonic's excellent image capture and process in such a tiny unit, with full function control for serious photographers, gives customers more camera in less bulk that we would have thought possible. Neither function nor quality is compromised.
It is expensive and about $100 more here than in the US
Until you see the GM1 and hold it in your hands you can't really appreciate what the Panasonic engineers and designers have accomplished. This camera sets a new benchmark for the combined desirable characteristics of outstanding image quality with extreme...

So-so battery life, feels expensive on launch, touch sensitive on-screen icons are small as are the hard keys on the backplate, lacks an eye-level viewfinder (EVF)
As our general impression is a very positive one, it feels like nit picking to describe the battery life as so-so at just over 200 images, which is no better than a humble snapshot costing a quarter of the price. But the images thankfully speak for themse...
