Ultra-Compact Digital Interchangeable Lens Camera The LUMIX G1 is as easy to use as a compact digital camera, with the stunning photo quality of a digital SLR camera. It's a new-generation digital interchangeable lens camera that does away with the mirror box and complies with the new Micro Four Thirds System standard. It also features Full-time Live View for compact digital camera shooting ease, and iA (Intelligent Auto) mode for beautiful photos with point-and-shoot simplicity. In short, the G1 writes an entirely new chapter in the evolution of the digital interchangeable lens camera. And it lets you enjoy all this expressive power from the moment you first pick it up. With the G1 in hand, every day is a new chance for discovery. Anne, NEW WAY an art teacher Full-time Live View Lets You Take It Easy Casual, everyday shooting is now its own art form. I decided to upgrade from a compact digital camera to a digital SLR camera when the first of my two girls started kindergarten. But to tell the truth, I was afraid a digital SLR camera would be hard to use. Not the G1. I look at the LCD to frame my shot – just like with my compact camera – and press the shutter button when I like what I see. In addition, it is handy and small! What could be simpler and smaller? And the photos are so beautiful, you'd think they were shot by a professional. The G1 has been a lot of fun, for both me and my children.

Some of the photos I've taken with this camera are truly exquisite. I took them to use for my own reference, but they were so good we ended up using them in print. I've come to depend so much on this camera by now, I don't know how I'd ever get by without it. It's kind of like my partner.
