The Panasonic G3 represents another step forward for the company’s line of Micro Four Thirds cameras, with a new sensor design that pushes the format in the key areas its other models have been falling behind Sony’s NEX offerings: high ISO performance...

Tends to underexpose a little; photos on the soft side with kit lens, Images have brownish cast in artificial light, Cluttered controls on back of camera, Features lost from DMCG2: external mic input, eye sensor for EVF, Flash is on the weak side, and a step down from what was on the G1/G2, Buffer fills fairly quickly (and takes a long time to flush) in burst mode, No manual controls in movie mod

Great image quality which matches APS-C DSLRs, Articulated touch-screen with tap-focusing, HD video with quiet and fairly quick continuous AF, Very fast AF and face detection. Ideal portrait camera.
Slow continuous shooting when continuous AF is enabled, Live view not available during continuous bursts above 3fps, Traditional DSLRs better for low light or fast action photography, No external microphone input or manual movie exposures.
Panasonic's Lumix G3 is arguably one of the most complete and successful mirrorless 'EVIL' cameras to date. Panasonic has struck the right balance between size, weight, quality, features and price that should see the G3 appeal to a broad range of phot...
Abstract: In the final analysis the Panasonic G3 is a very attractive offering in its price range. While not as versatile or full featured as the GH2, the G3's lower price and smaller size is an attractive compromise, especially for those not needing advanced video features.
Panasonic manages to make the G3 smaller than its predecessor and add more megapixels to its Four Thirds sensor all while raising the bar for the compact interchangeable lens class.
The Lumix DMC-G3 is the most well-rounded Panasonic compact system camera to date, offering a great mix of cutting-edge features, improved image quality, intuitive and customisable handling, and a very competitive price. It's also a genuine contender ...
Approachable and user friendly, lightweight compared with a mid-range DSLR, 25% smaller and approx 10% lighter than the G2 predecessor, vari-angle LCD plus EVF
Still a tad pricey for the average Joe, smaller dimensions mean a small handgrip, clipped highlight detail in sunnier conditions, no eye sensor for switching between LCD and EVF Product Shots The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 Micro Four Thirds camera is available in three body colours in the UK: red, white and, um, black (no blue?) Sample Shots The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 features various digital effe
Though the G3 isn’t cheap for anyone more used to a pocket snapshot of a digital camera, it is a jack of all trades device that manages to master most of what it purports to offer. We can see it going down a storm with family users who’d like more pr...

Poor battery life, EVF performance in low light, touchscreen should be more sensitive
The Lumix G3 has a whole lot to like: it's small (but not too miniature), neatly designed, has superb autofocus speed, a vari-angle LCD and decent built-in electronic viewfinder. Even image quality has been slightly improved over the Lumix G2 model des...
