Customer Review

For me the best ever camera system for travel and for family and trip photos.
I had the Eos cameras Nikon, the Pentax, Olympus FT and MFT cameras and recently the Sony Nex -
none comes close to the sum of compactness, grip, lens quality and the fun factor of G2.
Certainly not everything is perfect, the menu a little too playful, countless opportunities and prices for Lenses very salted,
especially the very good 1.7 / 20 mm seems overpriced and the 14-140 mm is expensive, but unlike Sony Nex,
Canon and Nikon hold these lenses absolutely deliver what they promise.
Sharp, high-contrast images, very good workmanship and high compactness.
Only the rubber coating is collecting dust and the AF is not quite on level DSLR, I like less.
The sensor rushes slightly more from 1600 ISO, which, in the few photos where the setting in the dark seems necessary
is bearable, thanks to lightning and 1.7 / 20 mm is rare in the embarrassment really noisy images.
Above all, the viewfinder is better than any previous Olympus Pen, Samsung and Panasonic's previous,
he is me even better than the dark Spieglesucher DSLR entry-level cameras to 1000 euros!
He is much sharper, even in low light little noisy and shows more color and is always there and ready to use,
without the camera to take the eye, the photos can be judged immediately.
I got my first 9000 photos exposed with her and am so happy no longer for ages.
A long journey with a housing, 2 batteries, the 14-140 mm, the 7-14 mm and 1.7 / 20 mm
is a revelation, so light, so unobtrusive, so robust, so good photos with fun out of every situation, every angle -
I need DSLRs only for portrait sessions, sports and wildlife photography - everything else can the G2 better and easier,
especially in the macro area reveals enormous benefits, more depth of field, all kinds of top lenses manually easily usable,
perfect scharfstellbar from any situation on the monitor - a real pleasure.
By contrast, the Sony Nex 5, I had short acts like a failed laboratory experiment, in all important respects except noise from 1200 ISO weaker
and very weak lenses. Panasonic seems to expand and also the Pen cameras from Olympus two years ahead of all other
have me visually not so enthusiastic, they lack the built-seeker who fully articulated monitor, the fast AF, the more effective image stabilization.
Great camera and the GH2 is certainly a little better, who needs to shoot the.
Panasonic should consider using a movable folding monitor which remains fixed on the camera (such as Nikon P100) to make less playful menu,
use a better, grained rubber - which is not collecting dust,
the AF viewfinder and further improve and despite the compact concept of zoom lenses with Aperture f: trust 2.0 zoom: 4.0 and prime lenses with f!
Who is photographed passionately after a short period of familiarization with the G2 absolutely right.
The small 14-42 mm and 45-200 mm kit lenses are ok for the price, but really exciting, it is only 1.7 / 20; 14-140 mm and 7-14 mm - better longer save it.

For Amazon fans a must-have! Rank: 5/5
