If you shoot one and the same motif with various settings, get with this camera very quickly a sense because of how the system works and reacts. Whether Gege Shooting outdoors, indoors or in low light conditions (eg out of the shadows in a bright subject), the correct setting is found, wird`s a class photo.
Among the many modes for photographing I prefer personally to mode "CUST". Hie you can save your preferred settings (shutter speed, aperture, white balance, etc) to obtain information using the Q Menu. Made simply brilliant.
The swiveling and rotating monitor (touch panel) is simply the best tool to take pictures. Man can use the monitor as a trigger, select the correct focus setting and turn the pictures taken by touching on. Better `s not.
Conclusion: As an old Canon SLR Futzzi I have denied myself for far too long the digital photographing. It's fun and you can bring in all his years of experience in digital form. The Lumix G2 is for beginners (IA mode) as a prime choice for advanced, because it just makes good photos.
