I bought this camera for its wide-angle lens; it was the only non-DSLR on the market
that went to 24mm at the time. For outdoor shots I'm very pleased with it. The
ergonomics of the camera are excellent, very well thought-out. I enjoy using this
camera.

If you can find it, the GX100 is a much better option than the newer GX200, as that
camera squeezes more pixels onto the same sized sensor.

Problems:

Low-light shots can be noisy (though I'd rather have noise than blurring/loss of
detail). Long-exposure shots are unsatisfactory since the camera doesn't black out after
the shot (save for extremely long exposures): you end up with a shot marred by
hundreds of stuck pixels.
