Panasonic Lumix DMC G10 review

Panasonic's entry-level interchangeable-lens model, the Lumix DMC-G10, is a moderately de-featured version of its big brother, the G2. Based around the same Micro Four Thirds-standard sensor and lens mount, the G10 is a solid ILC model, but one that has a few weaknesses compared with similarly priced competitors.
Fastest in its class this far; well-built; intelligent design for enthusiasts, with lots of direct-access controls.

you don't really help anybody out woman...this camera is an entry level camera designed for beginners on a budget, like me, you basically just point out all the reasons why more expensive ones are better...How about you actually point out some better points next time...

@TheTechnologyMonkey I totally agree. Type DMC G10 into google and check the reviews. All say it is outstanding compared to other ones at its prce. This isn't an opinionated video she is just incorrect.

@skrupnik why would you even consider to buy this camers only for its video features? I mean look at it...its clearly designed to shoot pictures, and (as the video already stated) the videomode is only an accessory which does not have all that much to offer in terms of settings.

I hope I'm not to late with this advice, but if you whant a great video camera, consider some of the new superzooms from sony(hx100v) or panasonic(fz40/fz45). There you get huge zoom lenses and full hd video recording.

Hi, i´m trying to decide what to buy: G10 or G2. I only need it for Video feature. There is a huge difference in price. What I loss to only use Motion Jpeg format? Would you recommend me the G10? Thanks.. I will appreciate your help. Sebastian from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I like to know some of the potential limitations and annoyances of a particular camera before I decide to out and invest my money in it. I bought the Pentax K-X and went back and looked at her review and found it was spot on in terms of the pros and cons of the camera. One thing I don't like however is all this emphasis placed on video modes of cameras. I see that as strictly secondary. If I'm buying the camera, it would be on the merits of its still photos, not its video mode.
