My first G1, too, has lost the paint from the buttons on the rear. I fashioned a protector over the buttons for my second one. Otherwise, I am very happy with the G1.Oh, I have list for the "G2".
The white paint on the flimsy buttons on the rear of my first G1 is now gone while LUMIX (engraved and painted BRIGHT white) would have stayed clear and bright had I not rubbed it off with a black marker.
The golden L square (what purpose it serves I have no clue. ) can go in terms of cost cutting and to improve the ergonomics. :ROTFL:
The handgrip is cracked. I epoxied it and plastered it so, it is OK.
A better paint job on the bodice would be greatly appreciated.
Noise levels have to go down. High ISO image quality (noise and DR) could use an improvement.
Though I bought my first G1 within days of it appearing, I never filled out the warranty (2 year one since I bought it in Germany) and I never needed to.
Now, that is reliability and quality. Keep it up Pana!
I would like a one-button press for manual focus assist, but I can see the dilemna for companies if they change the way the buttons work after the introduction. The manual would no longer be correct, but then again, who reads the manual?:ROTFL:
