The best combination here of image quality, camera build and features, we highly recommend the Panasonic Lumix G2's one-touch HD video recording, choice of viewfinders and its tilting LCD. Buying in to the Micro Four Thirds concept in the first place is't...

La qualité du viseur, écran haute résolution orientable, autofocus et déclenchement sur l’écran.
Réglages en double, fonctionnalités complexes.
Successeur du G1, le Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 apporte l'enregistrement vidéo (en HD) et un écran tactile orientable. Comme sur le G1, les objectifs sont interchangeables....
