Today, I will introduce the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1. 

Panasonic's GX1 is the replacement for the GF1 that enthusiast photographers were all hoping for when the GF2 was unveiled. It combines a comprehensive featureset and plenty of direct controls (including a mode dial) with a touchscreen in a compact body.
Although the GX1 has the same 15.83 million effective pixel sensor as theG3, it also has the more advanced Venus Engine VII HD processing engine of the GF3. These two points mean that image quality should be at least on a par with these two cameras, if not better.

Build

Panasonic has upgraded its choice of material for the GX1, it has an all metal body and buttons. This gives the camera a very high quality, dependable feel.

Unfortunately, the lettering on the buttons is quite hard to see in anything less than good light. We raised this point when we met with Panasonic in Japan in September to see a very early pre-production sample of the GX1, and suggested that it would be useful to have an option for these buttons to be illuminated in a future camera.

Sometimes it's the small things that make a big difference and the remodeled grip on the GX1 has a significant impact. Although the GF1 is small and neat, so it fits conveniently into a coat pocket or bag, it isn't especially comfortable to hold between shots without a strap. The GX1's fingergrip provides a secure, comfortable hold both when shooting and between shots.

Control

Like the G3 and GF3, the GX1 has a customizable Quick Menu screen for adjusting settings quickly.

The GX1 also has four customizable buttons (two real and two virtual on the touchscreen) that can be used to access 4 out of 25 different controls. This increases the number of shortcuts available on the camera and makes it very quick to use once you are familiar with the set-up.

The GX1 is the first Panasonic G-series camera to have a level to help keep horizons on an even keel. It works in portrait and landscape format and can be used to correct horizontal and vertical tilt. Once activated a yellow line becomes visible on the LCD screen, it turns green when the camera is level.

This could be useful when speed is of the essence, especially when less experienced photographers are experimenting with the advanced exposure modes.
