The Panasonic Lumix G3 is Pan’s very latest Micro Four Thirds camera, freshly updated for 2011 with a new sensor and plenty of skills you’d typically expect from a DSLR. Read on to meet it.
Panasonic’s popular G series line has been bringing huge sensors and interchangeable lenses to sub-DSLR sized cameras for a few years now, and the latest addition is the bridge-sized Panasonic Lumix G3. This time around it’s packing a 16 megapixel sensor and will shoot full 1080p AVCHD video.
As with last year’s G2, the 3-inch LCD articulating display is touch sensitive, and the Panasonic Lumix G3 sports a dedicated video record button. It can also grab stills at four frames per second, or 20fps at four megapixel resolution. It’s out next month with a 14-42mm lens kit but as ever, you’ll be able to use other Micro Four Thirds lenses, and Leica M and R lenses with an adaptor.
