A co-worker of mine, after lots of consultations and deliberations finally
got herself Panasonic G3 with standard kit lens (14-42/3.5-5.6). Few days
ago I had honors of playing with it. I am pretty much overwhelmed with
surprise... Took me close to no time to figure this one out. AF works
wonderfully, electronic viewfinder is convenient, the ergonomics are good,
the build it solid - this thing is pretty darn excellent.
Glad you liked it. I played with a G3 for the first time just the
other day. It's a very interesting development from my G1 ... smaller
in the hand, tighter feeling, etc. Kind of a melding of the GF1 and G1
models in my experience. I expect it is a very good camera, and now
there is a very nice range of native Micro-FourThirds prime lenses to
work with it (12/2, 14/2.5, 18/2.8, 20/1.7, 25/1.4, 45/2.8 Macro, and
45/1.8) and a good range of zooms from both Olympus and Panasonic,
never mind its ability to use nearly any other lens via adaptation.
The interchangeable lens, all electronic digital camera age is upon
us. I know no one agrees on what to call this new camera category with
half a dozen acronyms like EVIL, MILC, etc, but I call it "Lens
Interchangeable - Viewfinder Electronic" or LIVE.
