Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 A new kind of digital camera has just unvieled.The DMC-G1 is different from all other cameras because it has combines key SLR features—a large image sensor and interchangeable lenses—with the smaller size and weight of a point-and-shoot. No. It is designed by Panasonic and Olympus, calledMicro Four Thirds that allows for both a smaller body than an SLR and smaller interchangeable lenses, thatmakes the DMC-G1 something other than an SLR.

The DMC-G1new fascinating camera built up with these powerfull specifications:

A large, SLR-style sensor.:  This type outperforms the smaller ones typically found in point-and-shoot cameras, especially at rendering details and colors in challenging lighting without introducing image artifacts and color casts.

Smaller and lighter body and lenses:   The mirror box, that is. An SLR’s mirror box, the internal component that makes a Single-Lens Reflex camera an SLR, also makes it larger and heavier. Removing drastically reduced the DMC-G1’s size. The DMC-G1’s body was about 25 percent smaller then the SLRs, the

Considerable versatility:  To make this camera more better from aan SLR, Panasonic will offer a system of interchangeable lenses. There will also be a lens mount adapter that lets you tap into the array of existing

Canon Rebel XSi and Olympus E-420. but its lenses and external flash are smaller and lighter too.Four Thirds lenses designed for SLRs like the Olympus E-420 or Panasonic Lumix L10. The Lumix G1 will also supports features of SLRs, such as RAW-file capture, complete manual settings, custom white balance settings and others.

Design breakthroughs and compromises:  In designing the DMC-G1, Panasonic made some tough choices that critics might call compromises.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 will come in several colors (red, blue, and black). Initially, two interchangeable lenses, the Lumix G Vario 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Mega O.I.S. kit lens and the Lumix G Vario 45-200mm f/4-5.6 Mega O.I.S. lens, will be available separately. It will be available in mid of November price detail not announced yet.
