Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3

The inside story: The technical and performance aspects of this camera are really excellent. Good EVF, good monitor, very good AF speed and accuracy, very good MF operation, fast shot to shot times, very good image quality even at high ISO settings. IQ is only let down by limited dynamic range. The outside story: In other words the user experience or human machine interface (HMI) in ergonomics jargon, is rather less appealing.

I just got this camera and I'm continuously amazed at its small size, fast clear focus, and of course great pictures. I'm always competing with my wife's d3100 and this G3 is so much smaller, has faster more accurate autofocus, much better manual focus and is equal in resolution and High ISO noise. I think she (d3100) does beat me a little in dynamic range, but it isn’t significant. My only complaint is that you can’t remove the SD card while the camera is mounted on a tripod.

Very good camera
