Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G3 16 MP Micro Four-Thirds Interchangeable Lens Camera with 3-Inch Free-Angle Touch-Screen LCD and 14-42mm Lumix G VARIO f/3.5-5.6 Lens
If you are looking with dismay as the Panasonic abandoned lovers and M4 / 3, and instead pursue a smaller form factor and dumber and dumber, and the GF, so now you have reason to be happy. It seems Panasonic G3 is positioned as the successor to the GF1, can not know that. But that's how guardo.Ma hours, with touch screen controls and to compensate for the physical control of how missing C1 and C2 on the mode selected before continuing the very few people seem to understand about these targets do not. The camera determines how big the camera is. I use the terminal to the 14 mm f/2.5 on GH2 and it seems very small. You can not put in your pocket. But it fits in your pocket. It is also possible to enter the pocket is very small. It 's smallest and lightest, I use a wrist strap and 100-300mm on a GF3, and it is very possible, and because the format is not really.
The first thing to note about the G3 is the price to $ 699 is $ 100 cheaper than the G1 or G2 to launch and $ 200 less than the GF1, plus a $ 200 less than the GF1, G3 is the EVF (the. is better than a rangefinder) and screen rotation.
The great changes of G2 and GF is the new sensor, Panasonic and Olympus have three larger sensor in the m4 / 3 line, the line GH G3 now includes a 16MP sensor and the motor current for processing. The G3 will be slightly better than GH2.
With regard to the IQ for m4 / 3 are not as good as the DX sensor, and are not so good. The same sensor, DX is not as good as the FX sensor, ceteris paribus. That said, the moral debate IQ, as most people do not understand it, most "professional" review sites confuse some problems. Here, all the things you need to understand is this. All versions of the sensor, the difference between the M4 / 3, DX, FX, and a decrease of the difference becomes negligible. Case in point, depending on what you want to do. IQ is very dependent on the size of what you can do with this. I think for most of what people are doing it slightly differently. Here are some examples of what I mean.
The largest of the computer monitor is right that most rounds 3.6mp 2mp means for forming an image on (2MP) 40mp monitor that uses only 5% of the image data, the rest will be thrown out for. The 16MP is using, so this means that 12.5% of the votes cast on such details are the same that you want to print Deres. The human eye can see 200 to 300 dots per inch (useful information is the screen used to be somewhere around 72 dpi and 96 dpi. This means that if you blow the image up to 100% on screen a computer. It can be more effectively extended from 2 to 3. the image at 100% on a computer screen does not look good on paper) at 200 dpi, means that you need to 2000x1600 pixels to print at 8x10, if the do. math, this means that you need to print 8x10 3.2MP (300 dpi, you 7.2mp) This means that you are using a 16MP for 20% of the data is suitable for what you're doing is not any difference in IQ . important to you. When you start printing larger than this difference is significant.
These cameras are m4 / 3 Excel is the management of GH2 is king in my opinion to handle. The controls are well laid out, is a breeze to do what you need quickly. Moreover, the contrast AF system is fast to the view that life is so used swivel screen gives you more options for the eye alone or return to the screen. You can hold the camera above your head or down by your feet and frames.
To this is light. It got to the point where I do not travel with Nikon D7000 me, I just picked up and used for the portrait / wedding / shooting type of event (I can not shoot a wedding with the m4 / 3. Only 100-300 is my main objective . It is slightly slower. I also took some amazing pictures), I often traveled with his second series of GH, 5-8 lenses, and all iPad bag Domke F4 (G3 me, I would go with the body 3) have all . due weight to about 10 pounds, you may still be only 7-14, 14-140, 100-300, and the lens extends from 14mm to 600mm equivalent lens with all three of these lenses can be connected to the three units . F4 camera and you can also add the F4 4 and 20 mm f/1.4 still fit, and weigh about 10 €.
I have not done much with the video, so I'm not really much to comment on it. The videos of the G3 is much easier and more productive for all digital SLR cameras used except A33/55 Sony has also integrated stereo microphone. I have no connection to the outside. I do not think the second is a big problem for most people.
The construction of the G3 is a great PANASONIC first m4 / 3 of that of aluminum instead of plastic construction.
They handle a little 'disappointed at the loss of grip is essentially voluntary. I'm not even sure how I feel "new" hands, especially for the more objective grande.Ciò also means the loss of space for batteries Panasonic batteries are smaller. I think it's the same GF2 is a small battery that has at least make sure to have an escort. E 'rated at 270 shots, but the secret with Panasonic m4 / 3 camera is switched off after the shooting. How do I get around 750-800 shots out my reviews of cars.
For those new to a more sophisticated camera, Panasonic has two very interesting features to make it a little 'easier to use. The first way is a new program and one on G3 right now is to change the way iAuto + obsolete, aperture priority mode. When you press the shutter button to get the exp oser You can then rotate the wheel to move to the bigger opening. (Small DOF) or greater openness. (Large DOF) + iAuto now allows you to adjust the white balance, exposure compensation and aperture. (Focus Control), this is a very useful feature and is good for beginners and experts. For a while ', you may be iAuto more often when in a situation where I had to move quickly. The camera automatically recognizes the scene and made hundreds of changes to make the best possible. Now you can change the exposure light, and it works. To get started you can start getting comfortable with that after iA now you can start playing with light and touch (2 controls the most important in my opinion), while still having "Safety" iAuto Once you get comfortable with that and then switch to P is a simple. With the program, there are many reasons to switch to a mode M, but when you have to go with her.
IAUTO ISO Auto and Auto ISO is based on exposure and second exposure iAuto and subject movement.
Prof. AF lenses for m4 / 3 is a fly-by-wire means that there are labels. About the original version of G is not Panasonic's second generation of the ladder which was really good. About this picture in picture, Panasonic has added Manual Focus Assist. This is a great feature that I can really focus and time, the m4 / 3 lens allows you to use almost all, however, you lose autofocus. So, for those with old film lenses with an adapter that adapts the m4 / 3 to that end, and when the auto focus has problems with the new Focus is very nice.
As I mentioned before, the loss of physical control of the camera. For fans, this is a setback for the uninitiated, this might be a good thing. The touch screen is very nice. But I'm still not sure I like better than physical control. However, for those who like to lose control, these are just some of the ways of C1 and C2 Now, before you get into a fight, you can set the camera for the second mode, the custom at that time. The switch between modes. So no need to fiddle a lot. Moreover, the Q and the program displays the button functions. So if you use certain functions and can be easily Now you can put one of these buttons. The Panasonic is not good. Q So I exit the menu as it is. It raises a ton of scrolling through menus.
