Oh, I thought the G3 came out last summer?How much better would the GX1 have been if only it had an inbuilt EVF?? :deadhorse:
Sensor tilt indicator. Agreed. Godsend using the 7-14. And the pinpoint focus zoom is a plus also. Half depress the shutter and immediate zoom in. Fantastic. Touching the screen to lock focus another blessing. Shutter sound is the same as the GF1.I went from a GF1 to a GX1. I'm keeping both. Both cameras feel about the same. The GX1 might have a slightly better hand grip.
I absolutely love the level line on the GX1! Until I got this camera I never could get my horizons level. I also like to be able to touch a spot on the screen and have the GX1 focus on that spot and shoot the picture.
I think that the GX1 puts out better pictures than the GF1 but I got the 25mm lens at about the same time so I'm not sure which deserves the most credit.
come *on* ... people don't work like that. It took Kirk Tuck some years to actually stop bagging the G1/GH1 and then realise that the GH2 is a *sh_hot* camera.Oh, I thought the G3 came out last summer?
Its an interesting question, one I've considered. An issue is you can't use the EVF and an add on flash at the same time with the GF1 / GX1, there is no hotshoe on the EVF, and I suspect it could not support the weight anyway.I need some advice...
I have the Lumix GF3 and like it quite a lot. I would like to grab another M4/3 with a hotshoe so I can take advantage of more powerful flash if needed. I'm debating whether to pick up a GF1 on eBay or spend the $$ and grab a GX1. I'm open to other suggestions, too.
The G3 sounds like a great idea! So far I haven't had issues with the LCD as my only viewfinder but I know I will hate that in bright light.Its an interesting question, one I've considered.

Now of course you could just go with a G3, it has EVF and the hotshoe. I do use my GF1 with a Nissin m43 flash but it becomes a bit heavy when framing with the LCD. I do wish there was a flash sync socket on the side of the Panasonic m43 cameras to use a bracket mounted flash, then we could have EVF and bracket flash setup.
I really like that feature as well. Very nicely done. There are definitely some improvements in the user interface as well.I absolutely love the level line on the GX1!
