While most cameras with interchangeable lenses feature bulky mirror mechanisms (SLRs), the Panasonic GF2 is a lot smaller. It doesn't have any internal mirrors, helping to keep the design incredibly compact, something which is further helped by a touchscreen rather than hardware buttons. Build quality is also impressive, with metal used for the body of the Panasonic GF2. It gives it a premium fee
The biggest issue with the Panasonic GF2 is the presence of noise in darker conditions and higher ISOs. Although this isn't an issue in a cheap camera, at over £500 the Panasonic GF2 is mixing with some serious rivals, and entry-level DSLRs from Canon and Nikon have it beaten in low lighting conditions.
Overall, however, the Panasonic GF2 is an impressive device. It's incredibly compact for a camera that offers a range of lenses, and image quality is still impressive. If you want something between a compact camera and a DSLR, this has to be worth a lo...
In our test photos, we decided not to go for specific manual settings. Instead, we set the camera on intelligent auto (iA) and see how the image quality fare. All photos are taken in jpeg format with no post-processing, resized to 800x600 resolution. ...

The GF1 didn’t just count the SlashGear team among its admirers; in fact it was one of the most loved Micro Four Thirds models around. That leaves the LUMIX GF2 with plenty to live up to. Panasonic has clearly decided to shift the GF2′s positioning to...
Good, easytouse iA mode, Control with buttons or touchscreen, Nice screen (definition, viewing angles), Picture quality up to 800 ISO, decent video, Compact design when used with a 'pancake' type lens
A few more buttons might be nice?, Partly but not entirely touchcontrol (e.g. main menu), Image quality above 1600 ISO, Noisy shutterrelease, Images aren't automatically rotated unless you use a stabilised lens
The Panasonic Lumix GF2 is a good replacement for the GF1. It's a consumer rather than an expert camera and has a nice touchscreen interface. It's a little faster than its predecessor and picture quality has improved. Plus, its video mode is up there w...
Compact, especially with 14mm lens attached. Touchscreen is a cut above previous Panasonic versions and actually usable. Good overall image quality. Very good looking
Twitchy continuous autofocus during video recording. Relatively low resolution screen. No remote/cable release port
Panasonic's second compact interchangeable lens camera won't disappoint new users with its sleek footprint and very good image quality....

Like: Image quality is excellent, with selectable aspect ratios – if your preferred viewing medium is a high definition television then widescreen 16:9 is available. The popup flash prevents redeye. The touch screen is responsive and logically mapped. The
Dislike: The shutter is a little noisy and the exposure compensation arrangement – push the knob in then turn – is slow
Mode iA efficace, simplicité d'utilisation, Interface tactile ou boutons, au choix, Écran confortable (définition, angles de vision), Qualité d'image jusqu'à 800 ISO, vidéo efficace, Compacité avec un objectif "pancake"
Interface trop allégée ?, À moitié tactile (menus par exemple), Qualité d'image passés 1600 ISO, Obturateur trop bruyant, Pas d'orientation automatique des images sans objectifs stabilisé
Le GF2 est un bon successeur au GF1. Orienté plus grand public, il bénéficie d'une interface tactile assez agréable ; il gagne aussi en réactivité et (un peu) en qualité d'image. Enfin, son mode vidéo est comparable aux meilleurs....
Small and light. Quick autofocus. Solid build quality. “Touch to focus” feature.
Some noise in shots. Touchscreen won’t be loved by all.
We don’t think many pros or truly serious amateurs will be picking up a Panasonic GF2. Despite the camera’s many charms, the touchscreen-centric interface and noise levels make it much more suitable for the entry-level snapper looking to move to a bett...
Small size, clear and vibrant image quality, excellent focusing, useful touchscreen, sturdy build quality
Video quality not great, noticeable blemishes above ISO 800, longest open shutter time in 60sec
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF2 is a great camera for any type of user. It's well built, easy to use and it can take sharp and vibrant images. It's one of a growing number of cameras on the Australian market with a touchscreen. You can only not only use it to...
