Smaller dimensions mean a small handgrip

Compact, Excellent viewfinder, Can shoot stills while filming
Small rubber grip, GUI could use improvement, High ISO's still noisy

Abstract: Smaller is better. This appears to be the case in most electronics products, especially in cameras where smaller and lighter is definitely better. But since quality photos can be taken only with the bigger DSLR types, manufacturers have been looking for s...

Abstract: Today, Panasonic announced the Lumix G3, which claims to be the company's smallest and lightest digital interechangeable lens camera. And VR-Zone was one of the media who was invited to hands-on the G3 this afternoon.The Panasonic G3 is slightly smaller a...
Su pantalla LCD de 3 pulgadas, táctil y abatible, permite una visualización precisa. La calidad de las imágenes está asegurada, gracias a su sensor Live MOS de 16 megapixeles. Integra visor electrónico de 1.4 millones de puntos
La batería es de poca duración y la pantalla táctil no es tan sensible, por lo que se debe presionar con fuerza. Además, los archivos RAW sólo son compatibles con el software que incluye la cámara
¿Amante de la fotografía? Este equipo es una buena opción, sobre todo por su amplias opciones en imagen (captura en 2D y 3D) y buen desempeño (23 puntos de enfoque). Está disponible en tres colores: rojo, blanco y negro....
Vidéo Full HD, Compacité accrue, Gamme d'objectifs, Grand écran rotatif tactile
Quid de l'interface et du prix ?, Encore un poil trop lourd
A 650 euros avec l'optique de base, le G3 est un bon appareil, efficace et peu encombrant. Son capteur délivre de bonnes images, ses optiques sont bonnes (à condition de vouloir investir) et son mode vidéo est plus que bon. Mais Panasonic a eu la mauvaise...
Écran tactile efficace pour certaines fonctions (zone de mise au point. ), Personnalisations de l'interface (boutons Fn et menu rapide), Qualité d'image impeccable jusqu'à 1600 ISO, Mode iA performant, Qualité d'image en vidéo
Obturateur toujours bruyant, Autonomie limitée, Mode vidéo bridé (pas de multi-aspect, de prise micro ou de mode manuel), Prise en mains discutable, surtout pour les grands doigts, Manque de dynamique et effets arc-en-ciel du viseur, pas de sélection auto
Le G3 est techniquement une belle amélioration par rapport au G2 : il comble ses lacunes en sensibilité et passe au Full HD avec son stéréo. Cependant, l'ergonomie ne plaira pas à tout le monde et il reste quelques limitations arbitraires en vidéo......
