Review Index – (updated 02 September’10)
LetsGoDigital has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 is a very user-friendly system camera with excellent ease of use and a low learning curve. It is a camera that replaces the DSLR camera with ease and actually has more to offer.’
DigitalCameraInfo has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘The G2 turned in some stellar results, especially when it came to resolution. Color accuracy was better than most cameras and nearly all the other scores were among the leaders. The real weaknesses seem to be the camera’s white balance and lens-based stabilization.’
PCWorld.au has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G2 is a camera that’s very nearly as competent as a digital SLR, in a much smaller body. Apart from its slightly disappointing kit lens and fat-finger-unfriendly touchscreen icons, it is an impressive product.’
CNET.co.uk has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 is a great camera but it’s too clever for its own good. The surfeit of features and the duplication of touchscreen and physical controls is just too much.’
PhotoRadar has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘The killer punch is the electronic viewfinder. The low-resolution eyelevel display on the G10 is a liability – making it very hard to check focus accuracy and composition as you shoot. Opting for the Panasonic G2 gives you five times more detail through the EVF – and this alone makes the extra investment worthwhile.’
HardwareZone has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘The biggest appeal to an upgrader (and even to a DSLR user) is how smart the camera is. Panasonic’s contrast AF system is fast and accurate, and its Intelligent Auto (iA) mode is one of the best auto modes in the consumer market, letting an ordinary user switch it on and trust its advanced features, like face detection, to help them get the best shot each time.’
Macworld.co.uk has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘Auto modes work well in delivering correct exposures and, even if there’s some pixel fringing on close inspection, there’s a surprisingly high level of detail courtesy of the combination of sensor and lens, with results at ISO3200 as free of noise as those delivered at ISO1600 by competing cameras.’
DPReview has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘Despite the limitations of its sensor at higher ISO settings mentioned earlier, as an alternative to an entry-level (or mid-range) DSLR the G2 delivers with a dose of panache.’
PhotographyBlog has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘The G2 is substantially more expensive than the new entry-level G10 model, so if you don’t need the touchscreen interface, articulating LCD or AVCHD format movies, the G10 makes more financial sense whilst delivering otherwise identical functionality and image quality. If your budget allows, though, we’d recommend that that you opt for the more capable, more intuitive and ultimately more fun Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2.’
Photoxels has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘The touchscreen LCD may or may not appeal to you but, if you give it a try, especially for telling the camera where to focus, you’ll find it’s not a gimmick but works very accurately and intuitively. I am still impressed by it and Highly Recommend it as an excellent smaller and lighter camera for beginner and serious amateur photographers.’
CNET Asia has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘We think the touch-sensitive implementation could have worked better in a camera that has a form factor like the GF1. That said, Panasonic has taken a step forward in employing a touchscreen for interchangeable lens shooters, and it’s only a matter of time before other brands catch up.’
About.com has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘Of course, it’s the touch-screen LCD that will make your friends crowd around this camera, which is available in black, red, and blue camera body colors. Shooting photos by touching the LCD is pretty cool, although I personally still prefer the shutter button. The G2 also is a little smaller than most DSLR cameras, which helped it win a 2010 TIPA award recently.’
ePhotozine has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘During testing the G2 provided me with plenty images with excellent sharpness across the frame, all without breaking my back die to the small size and light weight. Priced at £590, it is a little more expensive than an entry-level SLR costs, but whether this represents good value or not will entirely depend on your personal outlook.’
DigitalCameraReview has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘It’s a solidly-built, well constructed camera. All of the controls work smoothly and quickly. The camera’s many dedicated buttons mean that you rarely have to consult the menu, something I greatly appreciated. The swiveling LCD is a pleasure to use, as is the high resolution electronic viewfinder.’
PhotoRadar has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘Lenses for Micro Four Thirds mount are still thin on the ground – and therefore this is not a camera we would recommend, say for the wildlife or sports photographer. The Panasonic G2 is a camera that you can so easily fall in love with – but before you do, it pays to know its shortcomings.’
PhotoReview has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘Don’t buy this camera if: – You plan to leave the camera on full-auto for all shots. – You need a pocketable camera (the G2 isn’t). – You want to use ultra-wide lenses (the only ones available are Four Thirds System lenses). – You only shoot JPEG images.’
TechRadar has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘If you’re looking for a real do-it-all camera and aren’t too worried about building up an extensive collection of lenses in the short term, the Lumix DMC-G2 is an excellent buy. It packs in lots of features for the price and the quality electronics deliver impressive still and video images.’
WDC has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘For the price it’s not the cheapest Micro System camera on the block, and the highest ISO settings do suffer from excess image noise. These little issues aside, though, and if you’re willing to work with an Electronic Viewfinder, the G2 is a standout Micro Four Thirds camera.’
PCAdvisor has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘The best combination here of image quality, camera build and features, we highly recommend the Panasonic Lumix G2’s one-touch HD video recording, choice of viewfinders and its tiltable LCD.’
Telegraph.uk has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘Panasonic’s new Lumix gives you both stunning images and super-easy operation, so as your knowledge of photography grows, all the manual features are there for you to use and explore.’
DPExpert has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘The reduced bulk and weight, compared with conventional DSLRs, will appeal to many people. Because the micro four thirds system is “open” all Olympus lenses for the format can be used on Panasonic cameras, added to which there are adapters for just about every SLR lens ever made. Highly recommended.’
Pocket-lint has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘Sure the electronic viewfinder may not be to everyone’s taste and high ISO image quality is a let down, but with a decent tilt-angle LCD screen, quality 720p HD movie, a whole bunch of customiseable Scene and My Color modes to add to the creative fun and a batch of decent (albeit expensive) additional lenses available the G2 shows the continued success of Micro Four Thirds. We like it a whole lot.’
T3 has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘Resultant pictures are sharp and colour rich – requiring little if any image editing, and indicating that the Panasonic Lumix G2 is more aimed at consumers than photo enthusiasts who want to tinker to the nth degree. Ultimately this camera is a fantastic, lighter alternative to a DSLR, perfect for those who wants to step-up from a compact.’
TrustedReviews has posted their review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 where they write – ‘The Panasonic Lumix G2 is only an incremental upgrade from the original G1, but most of the changes are for the better. The touch-screen is, as always, just a gimmick, but the video mode is good. Build quality, performance and image quality are all still of a very high standard, but you can get better results from a full-size DSLR of the same price.’

“All-in-all, I like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2, and its touchscreen feature has very little to do with it (though I’m sure some people will have the opposite feeling). I like the design, the shooting experience, the photo quality, and the ability to record HD movies at the push of a button (literally). If you want a compact interchangeable lens camera, then I can definitely recommend checking out the G2, as well as its cheaper sibling, the DMC-G10.”
ImagingResource
“Overall, the Panasonic G2 is a big improvement on the G1, offering a refreshing new way to interact with the camera. It will serve the needs of the enthusiast photographer and the consumer shooter looking for a high quality, yet light weight digital photography solution, whose accessories and lenses will fit in the smallest of camera bags. It’s a Dave’s Pick.”
CNET
“There’s tons to like about the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2–including the photo quality if you’re not as nitpicky as me. While it’s not as compact as some competitors, it counters them with a built-in EVF and articulating touch screen. As with any EVF-centric model, I don’t recommend it if you’re planning to shoot action. But for all other types of photography, this is a pretty strong contender.”

Press Release
Panasonic is pleased to announce the new DMC-G2 from Lumix G Micro System as the world’s first interchangeable lens system camera with touch-control shooting*1. The LUMIX G Micro System has been sparking revolutions in the market as its name “New-Generation System Camera” suggests.
Ever since the release of DMC-G1, the first interchangeable lens system camera based on the Micro Four Thirds System standard with dramatic downsizing of the body adopting the mirrorless structure. The GH1 realized 1920×1080 full HD (High Definition) movie recording and the GF1 brought an innovation even in the viewpoint of design with a flat, slim profile.
To develop the new DMC-G2, Panasonic focused on the operability and elevated it even higher by adoption of touch-screen that connects the sight and action most intuitively. Just a touch on the subject in the LCD lets you set AF even to release the shutter. Various advanced AF functions taking advantage of high-speed, accurate contrast AF are now as easy and comfortable as it never was with a combination of touch-screen operation. Yet the camera body is compact enough to be the world’s smallest and lightest*2.
The double Live-View function offered by the large and bright 3.0-inch 460,000-dot free-angle Intelligent LCD and 1,440,000-dot 1.4x (0.7x*2) Live View Finder makes it possible to see how settings results in the picture in advance to the shooting. The 12.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor and the new Venus Engine HD II integrating Intelligent Resolution technology assure high image quality in both photo and movie recording.
The DMC-G2 records high quality movie in AVCHD Lite in addition to the motion JPEG even with advanced flexibility of cutting out a high quality still image thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology. The camera has an HDMI output capability so that the dynamic movies and photos can be played back on the large HDTV via the optional HDMI mini cable.
For stimulating the creativity of photo/videography, the popular My Color mode is succeeded from the predecessors to offer 7 color settings and 1 custom setting for both photo and movie recording. In addition, the Movie P mode lets you change the aperture to expand the expressiveness in movie recording. The DMC-G2 is also compatible with the optional external stereo microphone DMW-MS1 for high quality audio recording.
On the other hand, the iA(Intelligent Auto)mode which is popular in both Lumix system cameras and compact cameras supports easy shooting with automatic optimization according to the scenes in both photo and movie recording. It can be directly activated with the newly added iA button without trouble of setting using dial or menu.
The DMC-G2 with HD movie recording capability offers an abundance of advanced functions with an unprecedented ease of use realized by a touch control. It brings users from entry level to high amateur and even to professionals, a different surprise and joy of shooting commensurate with their photographic stage. Choose the body color that sound most right to you from three colors – black, red and blue.
The intuitive touch-control shooting- world’s first in an interchangeable lens system camera*1
To elevate its operability even higher, the DMC-G2 adopts touch-control shooting for the first time in the world as an interchangeable lens system camera. AF is immediately set to the subject by just touching it on the large, 460,000-dot LCD and you can even release the shutter.
Once you lock on the subject by a touch, the camera tracks the subject even it moves with the AF tracking function. Just a touch on the screen lets you select the part and the size of AF area with the 1-area AF and the 1-area AF in Face Detection even allows you to set finer focus on the eye while capturing human face bright and clear. The Multi-area AF allows to set a group of AF point according to the composition.
With the Intelligent Scene Selector in the iA mode, the camera automatically switches to the appropriate mode according to the subject touched, for example, a touch on a human face switches to the portrait mode and the a touch on the background or a scenery to the scenery mode while a touch on the subject close to the camera to the close-up mode. In the manual focusing, you can enlarge the part by just a touch to select 1x, 5x or 10x and smoothly move the part by dragging it on the screen. The touch operation dramatically shortcuts the action of setting in the menu, too.
The touch-screen operation excels not only for shooting but also for playing back images with outstanding visibility. You can play back the image you want out of hundreds of stocks by touching on the one in the thumbnail. To play back images one by one in order, you can drag the image across the screen with a finger to browse the collection of photos as you flip over the pages of the book. Max.16x of enlargement is also easy with touches.
The large, high resolution LCD with wide viewing angle rotates 180° from side to and tilts 270° up and down offers approx.100% of field of view. The free-angle LCD with a touch-screen operation makes both monitoring and touching at any physical position.
Despite the incorporation of high-performance LCD, the DMC-G2 is the world’s smallest and lightest to offer excellent portability*2.
The LUMIX G Micro System identity
With the LUMIX DMC-G1, Panasonic has developed an entirely new concept in digital cameras that comply with the Micro Four Thirds System standard by taking even greater advantage of the compactness and light weight that are made possible by eliminating the mirror box and optical viewfinder unit. By increasing the number of electrical contacts between the camera body and the lens, the camera’s expandability is also dramatically increased to maximize future potential.
The LUMIX G Micro System’s large, bright 1,440,000-dot equivalent Live View Finder retains the outstanding viewability of an optical viewfinder and can also display information about camera settings that the user can see without taking his or her eye from the subject.
A clever built-in eye sensor automatically switches on the viewfinder when the user looks into it, then switches it off and turns on the free-angle 3.0-inch large 460,000-dot high-resolution LCD (which boasts a wide viewing angle) when the user looks away from the viewfinder.
The 60-frames-per-second Live View is made possible by the Live MOS sensor, which takes signals directly from the image sensor and sends them continuously to the LCD, in real time. Both the Live View Finder and LCD provide approx. 100% field of view. This allows the user, when composing a shot, to check the framing accurately from corner to corner.
The contrast AF system*4 adopted by the LUMIX DMC-G2 is not only accurate and easy to use, but also very fast. Users can choose from a wide range of AF modes, including AF Tracking, 1-area AF, Face Detection AF/AE and 23-area area.
High image quality as an interchangeable lens system camera
While achieving breakthroughs in advanced functions and compactness of design, Panasonic also refined its comprehensive digital imaging technologies for every cameras of LUMIX G Micro System to raise the level of image quality that rivals or even surpasses D-SLR cameras. The 4/3-type 12.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor featured in the DMC-G2 offers the best of both worlds — the superior image quality of a CCD sensor, and the lower power consumption of a CMOS sensor. Advanced technology that makes it possible to read 4 channels of data simultaneously also helps the G2 deliver 60 frames-per-second Full-time Live View images, while faithfully reproducing high-resolution images with fine detail and rich gradation.
The new Venus Engine HD II features exceptionally advanced signal processing capabilities. This sophisticated LSI separates chromatic noise from luminance noise and applies the optimal noise reduction to each, so you capture clear and beautiful images even when shooting at high ISO sensitivity levels. The Venus Engine HD II also provides independent gradation control for each of the R, G and B colors, so even delicate color nuances are reproduced faithfully. Linking smoothly with the Live MOS sensor, the Venus Engine HD II records stunning high-resolution 12.1-megapixel images with exceptional accuracy. Signals containing a large amount of image data are sent from the Live MOS sensor to the Live View Finder at 60 fps, resulting in clear, smooth live view.
The high-speed, high-performance Venus Engine HD has been re-engineered to compile the new image processing technology “Intelligent Resolution”. It enables the recording of beautiful photo and high-definition movie with higher quality signal processing. With the Intelligent Resolution technology, 3 areas — outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation areas are automatically detected. The outline parts are enhanced effectively to give edges more clearness while giving a moderate accentuation to the texture areas to look more finely detailed.
To the soft gradation part, superior noise reduction system of the Venus Engine HD II is applied to make it smoother. Apart from the uniform enhancement of sharpness, the innovative technology Intelligent Resolution precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel in the most effective way for it. As a result, images are naturally clear and crisp in both photo and movie recording.
Cameras of LUMIX G Micro System are equipped with highly efficient Dust Reduction System. If dust or other foreign matter gets inside the camera when you’re changing lenses, it could cling to the image sensor and show up as a spot in your photos. The Dust Reduction System in the G2 helps eliminate this possibility by placing a supersonic wave filter in front of the Live MOS sensor. Vibrating vertically around 50,000 times per second, the filter repels dust and other particles effectively.
Take motion picture recording to the next-level with new generation AVCHD Lite
The DMC-G2 can record 1280 x 720 high-definition motion picture in AVCHD Lite that features long recording time and high compatibility with audio-visual equipments. Users can enjoy recording HD motion images taking maximum advantage of lens’ descriptiveness and interchangeability or the large sensor size.
The action starts at a single press of a dedicated button on the top while most of the settings for photo recording are succeeded, which is convenient when you record the same subject at the same situation in both photo and movie. HD Motion JPEG in 1280 x 720 can also be selected as an alternative movie recording format in addition to QVGA, VGA and WVGA, which is more compatible with PCs. High quality sound can be recorded with Dolby Digital Creator and optional accessory Stereo Microphone (DMW-MS1) can be attached to the G2. A Wind Cut function is also available to block out most of the noise from background wind.
Even video beginner can record excellent movies with DMC-G2 because the popular iA (Intelligent Auto) is also available in motion image recording. Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) helps prevent handshake when using high-powered zoom. Face Detection automatically detects a face in the frame and adjusts focus, exposure, contrast, and skin complexion on it so it always turns out beautifully. Intelligent Exposure continually checks the ambient light level and adjusts the exposure setting as conditions change to prevent blown highlights and blocked shadows. And Intelligent Scene Selector automatically switches between Portrait, Scenery, Close-up and Low Light modes according to the situation to optimize visual quality.
The G2 also provides a My Color mode, Film mode and carries over a variety of scene modes from photo scene modes in movie recording. Motion picture P mode that lets you change the aperture for more creative HD movie recording. You can try professional-like movie recording with these variety of options like you do with photo recording.
Now the DMC-G2 can take photo while recording movie by just pressing a shutter button. Plus you can save a frame of movie as photo during playback. Newly added Video Divide function lets you split a video into two at the point you desire. This makes it possible to delete the unwanted part by cutting it off.
A pallet of options to stimulate photographers’ creativity
The DMC-G2 is artistic not only in form, but also in function. It provides an array of features that let users either capture precisely true-to-life images or create their own beautifully expressive images. The G2 features My Color mode with a total of seven preset effects — Expressive, Retro, Pure, Elegant, Monochrome, Dynamic Art, and Silhouette while inheriting the previous Custom mode, which lets users manually set the color, brightness and saturation levels.
With the Full-time Live View function, users can see how these settings will affect the images before they shoot, making it easier to capture the exact mood or atmosphere desired. For even more elaborate effects, users can choose from a total of nine Film modes, and set the contrast, sharpness and saturation levels for each. A custom function lets users store their favorite settings in memory. The G2 also provides a total of 26 Scene modes including the Peripheral Defocus mode. Most of these modes can be used when shooting motion images too, letting users create movies with dramatic, theatrical effects without having to edit after they shoot.
The exposure meter can be displayed in the P/A/S/M shooting modes. The correlation between shutter speed and aperture is shown, with a color-coded warning that alerts users when the settings are not in the proper range. For newcomers to system camera photography, this makes it easy to learn proper settings both visually and logically, enhancing their photography skills.
Great photography is not only from a professional photographer — iA (Intelligent Auto) mode
The DMC-G2 has advanced functions that will satisfy experienced photographers, yet is easy enough for beginners to use comfortably. It’s ideal for compact camera owners who want to step up to higher-quality photos — but without having to worry about the need of technique. Panasonic achieved this superb ease of use by continuing to improve iA mode — with its shooting assist functions that have proven extremely popular in LUMIX compact cameras — and adding it to the LUMIX G Micro System’s advanced imaging technologies. iA mode is available not only in photo but also movie recording.
With AF Tracking, the G2 can lock onto any subject and keep it in focus even if it moves — making it easy to get beautiful, clear shots when a great photo opportunity suddenly arises. Simply aim, lock, and shoot. The Face Recognition*5 function remembers registered faces to give an appropriate AF/AE on the people. In playback, you can choose to display only photos that contain a specific registered face using Category Playback.
In addition to the advanced functions mentioned above, the iA mode inherits fundamental functions users need in a good digital still camera. These include MEGA O.I.S., which helps prevent blurring from hand-shake, and Intelligent ISO Control, which reduces motion blur by adjusting the ISO sensitivity if the subject moves as the shot is taken. Intelligent Exposure optimizes the exposure for each part of an image, preventing blocked shadows and blown highlights and helping ensure that gradation and details are reproduced beautifully. It also features an automatic backlight compensation function that activates whenever the camera detects the subject is in backlight. Intelligent Scene Selector automatically detects the most common shooting situations — Portrait, Night Portrait, Scenery, Night Scenery, Close-up and Sunset — and switches to the appropriate Scene mode. The user can activate all of these useful, convenient shooting-assist functions by simply selecting iA mode.
Enjoy watching high quality photos and movies on large HDTV – VIERA Link networking
Both still images and motion images in AVCHD Lite recorded on SD Memory Cards are easy to view on a Panasonic VIERA TV with dynamic HD resolution. The user simply inserts the card into the VIERA Image Viewer (SD Memory Card slot) on a VIERA TV or DIGA Blu-ray Disc Player*6 to play the content. Alternatively, an optional mini HDMI cable can be used to output still and motion images recorded with the DMC-G2 directly to the TV for easy VIERA Link operation. This makes it possible to take maximum advantage of the camera’s playback functions, including slideshows in which both still and motion images are played sequentially, or calendar displays and so on. All control is possible using only the TV’s remote control.
In addition, with the included software PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0 HD Edition, it is easy to view and edit your recorded contents. You may also choose to upload your videos to YouTube or burn them to a DVD disc for archiving.
