Panasonic Mirrorless System Cameras
|
It's good to be in first place. At least that's what I imagine Panasonic is thinking when it comes to their line of mirrorless system cameras. Panasonic was the first company to release a mirrorless camera to consumers in 2008 - the DMC-G1. Since then, they have continued to enhance and improve their line of mirrorless system cameras. A quick look through Panasonic's marketing literature reveals the use of a lot of superlatives: "first", "smallest", "lightest", etc. Panasonic is able to make these claims because they have a big head start on this new breed of camera - other companies have to catch up. Defining FeaturesThe main thing that you'll notice about the Panasonic mirrorless system cameras is their size and shape. While they are still much smaller and lighter than "true" digital SLRs, they bear a great resemblance — any of the Panasonic cameras could be mistaken for a digital SLR. Other manufacturers have opted for more streamlined camera shapes - closer in style to compacts, if you don't count the big lens attached to the front. Form factor aside, these Panasonic cameras are packed with features, including flip and twist LCD screens, video capture modes, face detection autofocus, custom color control and Panasonic's intelligent auto (iAuto) mode. Panasonic is also the first company to introduce an LCD screen with touch control (on the DMC-G2): you can change camera settings and take pictures just by tapping the LCD.
