The Panasonic Lumix GF1 is a point and shoot digital camera that delivers professional results. Featuring a 12.1 megapixel Live MOS sensor, HD movie recording, a built-on flash and a “pancake” lens, this micro-four thirds compatible camera turns from amateur to pro tool in an instant. Interchangeable means if you want to take your photography to the next level, you can do so with a wide variety of lenses and accessories. The GF1 is the world’s smallest and lightest system camera.*
The GF1 adopts the Micro Four Thirds System standard, which was developed as an extended version of the Four Thirds System standard for digital camera systems. By using this standard and developing a camera body that eliminates the mirror box and optical viewfinder unit, LUMIX was able to achieve a dramatic reduction in both size and weight compared with conventional digital SLR cameras, to create a new-generation system camera that features Full-time Live View, high-speed, high-precision Contrast AF, HD movie recording, and more. The GF1 is small enough to take anywhere yet sophisticated enough to take you as far into photography and movies as you want to go. Src: panasonic.com
