The GM1 may be our smallest-ever Compact System Camera, but its gigantic feature-set is captivating the hearts of reviewers. The Lumix DMC-GM1 has been called a “tiny gem of a camera”, a “remarkable feat of electronic engineering”, and the “smallest CSC to date, and one of the best too” all before it even hit the market.
Now the camera that has impressed the toughest of reviewers is available in Australian stores. It fits snugly on the palm of your hand and it’s a great option if you want to step up from your smartphone or downsize from your not-so-compact camera.
REVIEWS
“The GM1’s tiny kit lens is small on size, but big on quality. The small size, retractable mechanism and extremely light weight make it a perfect pairing with the GM1, allowing the combo to be quite pocketable.” – Imaging Resource, 2014.
“It’s impressive that Panasonic has managed to compress its excellent technology into a body as remarkably small as this.” – Techradar, 2013.
“Wow — we’re huge camera geeks here at IR, and few models this year [2013] have excited us as much as the soon-to-be-released Panasonic GM1, a truly “micro” Micro Four Thirds camera.” – Imaging Resource, 2013.
“Verdict: The smallest CSC to date, and one of the best too” – from Expert Reviews (Best Buy Award with 5 Stars) , 2013.
“The Panasonic Lumix GM1 offers all of the advantages of a compact system camera, including access to one of the largest ranges of lenses for mirrorless cameras, from Panasonic, Olympus and others.” – from ePHOTOzine (Editor’s Choice with 5 Stars) , 2013.
“For those that want excellent image quality, the ability to change lenses, and the smallest compact system camera possible, the Panasonic Lumix GM1 is our Editor’s Choice!” – from ePHOTOzine (Editor’s Choice with 5 Stars) , 2013.
“When you hold the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1 in the palm of your hand, you realise what a remarkable feat of electronic engineering it really is. (…) the body is so diminutive that Panasonic has boasted that in width and height it is around the same size as a playing card (…) basically, it is as much a lifestyle accessory as it is a camera. However, the camera is a long way from being just a gimmick or gadget, and it offers much for enthusiast and professional photographers to get excited about.” – Amateur Photographer, The world’s no.1 weekly photo magazine, 2013.
“We’ve been able to use a pre-production sample of the camera to get an early indication of image quality, and so far we’ve been impressed. Colours are rich and vibrant, without being overly saturated, while there is an impressive amount of detail resolved by the 16 million pixel sensor.” – Techradar, 2013.
