D-Photo and The Photographer's Mail
17 September 2011Sleek-looking and great to handle, the Lumix GF3 packs a lot of quality punch for a pocket-sized camera. And for a compact, it also offers plenty of customisable challenge for enthusiasts who want to stretch their photographic wings a little. For starters, it is one of the smallest cameras able to take interchangeable lenses and the Leica branding is a good hint at the optical quality of these.

8.2/10The GF3 is a fun little addition to the Panasonic G series range. As a first step into the world of interchangeable lens cameras, it does a decent job of bridging the gap between compact and SLR. Read more
- Compact and light with 14mm lens attached, Good image quality, very similar to the GF2, Snappy performance
- No accessory port/viewfinder option, Touchscreen can take a couple of attempts to press, Screen is still relatively low resolution

12 January 2011This is the smallest and cheapest in the Panasonic micro four thirds range. It has a 12 megapixel sensor and comes with a 14–42mm lens (28–84mm film equivalent). It is fitted with Panasonic’s touch screen that uses the touch subject-focus-expose-shoot function. There are not many conventional external controls. There is no hot shoe for an external flash or port for an EVF like those provided on the Olympus E-PM1, the direct competitor. Read more

"great little quality camera"
10/10Reviewer: nickpawley, CNET7 August 2011i got mine the other day after ordering online ($836 with the twin lens kit shipping instead, of $1046 quoted here) This review sums it up pretty well. i didn't want the bulk of a DSLR as i knew i wouldn't carry it around with me half the time. i already have a pretty decent point and shoot but wanted to upgrade to something to introduce me to the world of more manual controls.

- small size, photo quality, 1080video
- touch screen not the best
