Panasonic loses its weight and also the hot-shoe and stereo mic of the GF2, Panasonic GF2 is an ideal upgrade for compact shooters without compromising the size they get better image quality similar to DSLR, Although the Panasonic G3 is aimed at more experienced /serious amateur photographers and GH2 remains the flagship model of Panasonic G series.

What others are saying about the world smallest DSLR camera? The most amazing headline comes from WIRED.com “Panasonic Announces Tiny, Feature-Lacking GF3”

Much bigger is the list of what the camera has lost. Minimum ISO climbs from 100 to 160, the rear click dial has gone, as has the stereo mic of the GF2. The flash is now top center, but the hotshoe has gone, meaning you can’t add an accessory viewfinder or a flash. WIRED.com

While we’d want to have a closer look at a full production sample it does look at this stage like Panasonic could have another winner on its hands with the GF3. It certainly looks good and has plenty of style. Better still, it’s also easy to use, offers some innovative features and, above all, is capable of delivering great results. Competitively priced at a penny under £500, we wouldn’t be surprised if the GF3 keeps Panasonic on top of the micro system pile for the foreseeable future. trustedreviews.com

Pros and Cons From imaging-resource.com
Pros: Small, solid, light body; promise of good image quality (the image quality is not yet tested as of this writing); very fast autofocus; excellent selection of lenses.

Cons: Small controls; touchscreen interface might not be for everyone; flash seems a bit weak. Does not work with most accessories from previous models. imaging-resource.com

Panasonic GF3 appears to be an ideal alternative to a compact camera. It offers good image quality, an extensive range of controls and simple, yet sophisticated, handling. techradar.com
