I usually do not make announcements, but today is a small exception. So small that it fits into the pocket of even tight jeans for women)
The company Panasonic in September this year presented to the public an interesting novelty - the camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 . It would seem, what can surprise a company specializing not only in cameras? It turns out that there is still something to offer the people. ')
No, no, this is not just another soap dish and not even “one more” SLR. This is a LEICA compact interchangeable lens digital camera! And if the Leica themselves stand as the launch of the shuttle + is very little common in our area, then the novelty is much more humane to the wallet and, in my opinion, has every chance to occupy a niche, combining business with pleasure. For us, users, this is another choice, and choice is good.
Agree, every day there are moments that you want to keep for memory. Not selfish in thoughts, but so that you can share with others. To drag for this expensive DSLR, which even on the machine is often ready to give an excellent shot? As an option, but somehow short-sighted and non-universal - I think it’s not worth telling. Or every time to get a soapbox out of your pocket and frantically wait for autofocus? ) x ... reassures that at least for megapixels no longer chase) The principle of the new camera from Lumix is ​​to add the advantages of the first, multiplying by the advantages of the second) a sort of mirrorless mirror. The compact body allows you to take the camera with you always, and interchangeable optics - choose the right one at the right time. And given the availability of adapters, in principle, you can attach a lot of any lenses.
More detailed details can be found in the specifications below, in brief - 12 megapixels, interchangeable lenses, Micro 4/3 standard ( Wiki ), shooting high-definition video in AVCHD format and, as I said, a compact body.
There are already a lot of different lenses and other accessories for the camera.
