Panasonic DMC-G2 Digital Camera Review

The Panasonic G2 combines slick hardware with impressive performance to give a good name to the Micro Four Thirds format. The Panasonic G2 produced more accurate color than either of the company's previous Micro Four Thirds models—in fact, for color accuracy alone, the G2 outstripped all of its competitors except for the remarkably accurate Olympus cameras. Compared to most traditional SLRs, however, the G2 underperforms in color accuracy. Click here for more on how we test color. The G2 offers nine film modes: six in color and three in black and white. The most accurate of these modes turned out to be Smooth, which turned in a color accuracy of 2.87 and a was only slightly undersaturated at about 98%. Red, pink, dark blue, and dark green were the most accurate shades for the G2, while yellow, turquoise and lighter shades of green and blue turned out to be trouble spots. The following chart shows same size crops of each color patch from the test chart, shot in the most accurate color mode for each comparison camera.

Panasonic Lumix G2 review

A lot's happened in the camera market in the 18 months or so since the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 arrived, and this upgrade of the original Micro Four Thirds hybrid is eagerly awaited.The Panasonic Lumix G2 inherits many of the virtues of its predecessor – compact size, powerful optics, ease of use – but also brings some genuinely exciting new extras to the party.As well as shooting HD movies in the economical AVCHD format at 720p, the Lumix G2 makes brilliant use of the latest must-have in gadget land, namely touchscreen technology.Read: 45 best digital cameras in the world todayTouchscreen widgets in themselves are no big deal these days, as anyone who owns a modern phone will testify, but here comes the zinger – on the Lumix G2 you can use touchscreen to tell the camera where to focus, adjust camera settings or even take the picture.Oh, and you can scroll through all your existing shots, too. Like many usability breakthroughs it sounds a bit banal and gimmicky until you actually use it – and then you wonder why nobody has implemented touchscreen technology in this way on cameras before.To set the focus point, for instance, you literally point to where you want the camera to focus on the articulated rear screen and up pops the relevant AF crosshairs.

Product Survey: Digital SLRs and Cameras with Interchangeable Lenses

They're even found on very advanced cameras like this , part of the the manufacturer's Micro Four-Thirds range. Along with the addition of a video mode, the new screen is this camera's biggest innovation. But will these two developments will be enough to win over photographers? Micro Four-Thirds cameras are midway between SLRs and point-and-shoot cameras, whose compact bodies and easy user interface they borrow. But like the former, Micro Four-Thirds cameras can also be used with different lenses, and have a much bigger sensor than fixed-lens compacts. Users benefit from better quality photos and more responsive equipment, but still need to choose the right lens for the job. At first sight, the new G2 doesn't seem to look that much different from the first member of the family, the . Both cameras share the same fake leather styling we're used to from SLRs, a comfortable handle, a large viewfinder and an LCD screen that flips out. There's not much new here. To work out what's changed, you need to pick the camera up and start using it. When you do, you'll realise that Panasonic has made a few adjustments here and there. The scroll wheel, for instance, which used to be at the front of the handle, has now moved to the back.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2

Panasonic's update to the first Micro Four Thirds digital camera is the Lumix DMC-G2, a close approximation of the G1, but with a few key changes that mostly improve the function of the original while maintaining the $799.95 price point. Most of the Panasonic G2's basic specs remain the same, including the 12.1-megapixel sensor, the 3-inch LCD with 460,000 dots of resolution, and the electronic viewfinder's 1,440,000-pixel resolution is also maintained, as are the shape and size. Panasonic added a new processor to the G2, though, the Venus Engine HD II, which is expected to improve both videos and still images. Maximum ISO sensitivity notches up one stop, from 3,200 to 6,400. New is the touch screen, which is integrated into a few basic functions, like focus point selection. It's a surprisingly useful feature in the Panasonic G2, which we'll explore in more detail in the User Report below. The Panasonic G2 ships with a different lens than its predecessor, the 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6. It's a 3x zoom rather than the 14-45mm 3.2x zoom on the G1. The new lens lacks an O.I.S. switch, but it still has optical image stabilization built in; only now it's controlled from the Panasonic G2's menu.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2

Panasonic may have been first company to market with its interchangeable-lens camera, but its early models made some missteps. Most notably, the relatively reasonably priced Lumix DMC-G1 lacked video capture capability; with this update, the Lumix DMC-G2, Panasonic adds video capture. But in a feature twist, Panasonic endowed the G2 with a touch screen as well, the first in any consumer interchangeable-lens camera, including dSLRs (medium format digital cameras have had them for a while). And the company did quite a nice job with the implementation. The touch screen enables capabilities like touch focus and metering, which have been available in point-and-shoots for a few generations, but there are still plenty of direct-access buttons and navigation controls so that you're not stuck using touch when it's not the optimal interface. You can do almost everything both ways (except navigate the menus), and you can disable selective aspects of the touch screen operation, such as Quick Menu operation. Not only is touch focus a nice feature to have, but the G2 allows you to directly access any of the settings. Many touch-screen cameras force you to scroll through settings via onscreen navigation arrows, but with the G2 you can simply directly choose the desired setting, the way a touch screen should function.
