Good
Easytouse iA mode
Control with buttons or touchscreen
Nice screen (definition
Viewing angles)
Picture quality up to 800 ISO
Decent video
Compact design when used with a 'pancake' type lens
While most cameras with interchangeable lenses feature bulky mirror mechanisms (SLRs)
The Panasonic GF2 is a lot smaller. It doesn't have any internal mirrors
Helping to keep the design incredibly compact
Something which is further helped by a touchscreen rather than hardware buttons. Build quality is also impressive
With metal used for the body of the Panasonic GF2. It gives it a premium fee

Lightweight yet sturdy with lens attached
Image quality exceeds expectation
Fast and responsive
Smaller
Faster and easier-to-use than its predecessor

The editors didn't like
No mode dial
14mm kit lens bundle only
No viewfinder
Some noise in shots. Touchscreen won’t be loved by all.
A few more buttons might be nice?
Partly but not entirely touchcontrol (e.g. main menu)
Image quality above 1600 ISO
Noisy shutterrelease
Images aren't automatically rotated unless you use a stabilised lens
The biggest issue with the Panasonic GF2 is the presence of noise in darker conditions and higher ISOs. Although this isn't an issue in a cheap camera
At over £500 the Panasonic GF2 is mixing with some serious rivals
And entry-level DSLRs from Canon and Nikon have it beaten in low lighting conditions.
Loses the useful shooting mode dial of its GF1 predecessor and overall doesn’t feel quite as revolutionary – more a subtle refinement

Like: Image quality is excellent, with selectable aspect ratios – if your preferred viewing medium is a high definition television then widescreen 16:9 is available. The popup flash prevents redeye. The touch screen is responsive and logically mapped. The
Dislike: The shutter is a little noisy and the exposure compensation arrangement – push the knob in then turn – is slow
Compact, especially with 14mm lens attached. Touchscreen is a cut above previous Panasonic versions and actually usable. Good overall image quality. Very good looking
Twitchy continuous autofocus during video recording. Relatively low resolution screen. No remote/cable release port

Abstract: Like Samsung’s NX100, the GF2 from Panasonic is a small hybrid lacking an inbuilt or electronic optical viewfinder; you have to shoot it like a compact.The GF2 feels solid and comfortable, with build quality that’s well ahead of the NX100. There’s not ...

There's a lot to like about the Panasonic Lumix GF2. It's amazing how Panasonic has squeezed more features like a touch-screen and full HD video recording into a smaller camera, no doubt helped by the removal of the Mode dial and the use of a smaller b...
