Panasonic LUMIX G3: creativity without borders

It offers smaller, lighter and superior image quality.

Panasonic has introduced the LUMIX G3, the world's smallest and lightest interchangeable lens camera.

The new 16 megapixel image sensor, lightning-fast autofocus and Full HD AVCHD video recording provide image quality previously only possible with large SLR cameras. Leaving the mirror structure used in DSLR cameras paved the way for the design of much lighter, much smaller, yet excellent grip housings. 25% smaller than its predecessor, the G3 sharpens the autofocus image in 0,1 second, a record of its kind. With the high-speed burst function, you can take multiple pictures of fast-moving subjects per second.

A Panasonic spokesman said: “If you want to cultivate photography at a higher level, you don’t necessarily have to carry a heavy and complicated SLR with you. The LUMIX G family is designed to be human-centered - small and light, flexible and easy to use - yet delivers the best picture quality. The LUMIX G3 offers endless enjoyment of creative photography. ”
