I love this camera! It's controls seem very natural to me and I took great photos with it right out of the box (after charging the battery of course)!

I bought this as an alternative to the larger bulkier DSLR cameras. Was not really looking for a micro 4/3 type camera just one that was a step above point and shoot and without the annoying heft of the rest of the DSLR market. I found the perfect camera with the DMC-G1. It is built rock solid. Has a great screen that swings out and rotates to open and then close to protect the screen. Also helps when taking low down macro shots or when holding the camera up high over a crowd.

The picture quality is terrific. The "iA" or Intelligent Automatic mode is great when you do not feel like adjusting settings or when you pass the camera to a lesser techno-savvy friend. I am not a good photographer at all but this thing seems to make most of my shots look I must know what I am doing. To be honest I have been getting great compliments on my pictures, however, I am not doing anything different than when I used my old crappy camera. If upgrading from a point and shoot this camera will make you want to study how to improve your skills. I found myself many a night up late on [...] learning new tips and tricks.

This camera comes with some pretty good software also. "PhotoFunStudio" to import and manage and "Silky-pix" to optimize and develop your RAW images. Yes this camera does shoot in RAW format as well as JPEG. It takes some practice to get good at Silky-pix but you can do some pretty cool stuff with it.

Check out my flickr page to view photos taken with my G1.

I have been shooting with Panasonic's FZ superzooms (FZ20, FZ28) and have been pleased enough with the photos to exhibit them locally. Having decided to begin doing wedding photography and having found the G1 kit and the 45-200 zoom on sale, I decided to purchase them for that purpose. In my experience the Panasonics produce very flattering portraits, but can also be adjusted for increased contrast.

I took the G1 with me to Alaska this month to put it to the test. I shot in aperture mode exclusively using the "standard film" setting and exposure auto-bracketing. My ISO settings varied between 100 and 400.

All of the shots of my traveling companions look great. Alaska summers are mostly cloudy, resulting in dull pictures before editing; however, the photos cleaned up nicely with minimal editing. The photos show no evidence of digital noise and far less clipping of highlights than my FZ28.

Pros: The camera powers up very quickly and the lenses zoom quicly and smoothly. With the kit lens I was able to hand hold shots at shutter speed 1/10" and at 1/40" with the 45-200 even on the water (traveling at slow speeds). The OIS system more than compensates for the somewhat slow lenses. The camera was easy on the battery; I purchased one spare, which was enough, but I also used the viewfinder rather than the LCD and turned off the features I don't use. The G1 is light and small but feels nice in the hand. It is good in low light; I used the flash less than ten times. I changed the lenses over and over with no sign of dust on the sensor. The camera is equipped to accomodate a hot-shoe flash. I was able to turn off the auto-focus assist lamp and didn't miss it.

Cons: The electronic viewfinder shows noise when being used near other electronic equipment and in low light, which is not a problem with my FZ 20 or 28. The built-in flash is minimally useful, but then it's rarely needed.

Before digital photography I spent 20 years shooting with an Olympus OM10 and have sorely missed it after weating it and the lenses out. I finally feel completely at home with this camera; I just ignore the features I don't use. This is what I've been waiting for.

In the price range of this camera, I do not believe anyone can top it. I especially like the different aspect ratios that are provided, features not found in any other camera in this category that I know of. I take a lot of scenery shots and the 16x9 aspect ratio is perfect. I also use that ratio for panoramic shots, works great!! I also purchased the 45~200mm lens, there again was quite happy with it, really reaches out there, and the stability is very good. I get good results, hand held, clear out to the 200mm range!

I own a Lumix FZ-28, so learning this camera was a snap. Most of the features are very similar.

In summary in the price range of this camera it is a very good choice. I'm sure there are cameras that will take better pictures, but you are going to pay a whole lot more!! The only real drawback I can think of is there are not many choice's for lens.
