Bought one new a couple of years ago on closeout for a frighteningly low price. Yes, the design is nearly five years old, but every time I think about replacing it, I find that the potential replacement is either larger, missing features, or not measurably better. It feels great in my hands, I know the controls inside and out (having previously owned a DMC-LX3, it was easy to learn the GX1's menu system) and it's small and light enough to take anywhere.

Long live the GX1!

I was impressed with the video quality of the GX1 after buying this camera and works with autofocus which quicker than some DSLRs in video AF (except a few of the new dslrs with on sensor AF). Recommended for that alone, over my earlier model Pen. Panasonic knows video. Maybe Olympus is better now. I also have the Olympus 12-50mm and it records fine detail capture on the GX1. I recommend upgrade from the kit. I also have the original Panasonic 14-45mm, sharp lens with OIS which helps stabilize with video in a smaller lens than the Panasonic 14-140mm if carrying size if a consideration. Great lens also, and still can be found online.

Iam really like the design of the GX1, though I do have a few quibbles. It's a little bigger than the rest of the field, but none of these is sufficiently small with a lens attached to be considered significantly smaller than the others. It's got a nice-size grip and thumb rest, which makes it comfortable to hold and shoot single-handed, and it feels well constructed.
