Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1 review: A compact alternative to a DSLR camera

With the Lumix DMC-GM1 (http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/DMC-GM1KD), Panasonic has a compact camera that is truly, well, compact—it matches a playing card for height and length, though it’s a thumb’s width in depth. This makes it Panasonic’s smallest interchangeable lens camera, and the company says that the 16 megapixel Lumix DMC-GM1 boasts the same innards—and by association, image quality—as its flagship Lumix DMC-GX7 (http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/DMC-GX7KS).</p><figure class="large "><a class="zoom" href="http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2014/04/panasonic-gm1-06-100262853-orig.jpg">(http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2014/04/panasonic-gm1-06-100262853-large.jpg)[/url]</figure>

While pocket sized if you remove the lens, the Lumix DMC-GM1 has a premium feel, thanks to a lightweight-yet-sturdy aluminium frame and a magnesium-alloy finish. This makes its $750 asking price less of a shock, especially as the camera includes a specially compact 12mm to 32mm, f/3.5 to 5.6 zoom to match its diminutive frame. The camera is available in black or a quite gorgeous tan.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2148483/panasonic-lumix-dmc-gm1-review-a-compact-alternative-to-a-dslr-camera.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
