Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 Micro Four Thirds Camera Review
Pin It
A new camera from Panasonic, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 12.1 MP Interchangeable Lens Camera, is a strong competitor in the Digital SLR field and the Micro Four-Thirds line of cameras. The Lumix DMC-G2 is the successor to the popular Lumix DMC-G1 and touts newer and enhanced features.
What I really like about the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 camera is the 3 inch touch-screen LCD Live View and Contrast AF System. This unique technology allows the photographer to set shooting, auto focus, record video and set aperture/shutter speed by simply pressing interactive keys on the LCD monitor. I can also seamlessly slide between images and videos. The LCD Live View and Contrast AF System features a high-contrast display so I never have to squint in order to see details in my photos.

Another interesting feature to the Lumix DMC-G2 camera is the HD Movie mode. The Lumix DMC-G2 12.1 MP camera allows users to record 720p HD video. The video quality is so high that an owner would have to wonder why they would use a camcorder for HD video instead of the DMC-G2. And Panasonic makes it easy to watch the HD videos you record with the built-in HDMI cable output.

The Lumix DMC-G2 12.1 MP Interchangeable Lens Camera also has three different modes: My Color Mode, Peripheral Defocus Mode and Motion Picture P Mode. Motion Picture P mode really helps by allowing the aperture to adjust itself automatically without any work when recording HD video. My Color Mode allows the photographer to choose color effects for your photos and movies. This particular feature is great when a photographer needs to set a consistent type of color mood throughout his or her photos. The Peripheral Defucus Mode causes the camera to focus automatically on the subject and defocus on distant objects. There is also a Face Recognition function that comes in handy when making portraits and recoding videos of people.
In summary, we think the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 12.1 MP Interchangeable Lens Camera is a great addition to the digital SLR market with so many features and abilities in a camera that's really priced right. It's a versatile camera for those who need a little more out of their DSLR camera.
