CNET Asia Review

By Leonard Goh

Very good

7.6

out of 10

The good: Compact size; easy operation; 3-inch swiveling LCD; innovative Live View Finder; good image quality.

The bad: dSLR-like styling hard to differentiate from other shooters; displays are laggy under dim lighting.

The bottom line: Panasonic has set the benchmark for the Micro Four Thirds Standard with the G1, a very capable shooter for those who want to upgrade to a slightly more advanced camera from a point-and-shoot.

Why rate this when you haven't used it?

Oct 28, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Small and Light
Cons: It's not out yet so it's hard to tell
Opinion:
The only reason I gave this review is to question the fellow who left the first one and gave the camera a rating. How can one rate this when it hasn't even been released yet.

I would have simply left a comment to this effect if there were a comment section under this review, but there is not.

Oh, and Leonard Goh writes the most sexist e-mails. They are insulting to women. He always writes things like -- "ladies like the small dainty cameras and guys like the big and brawny ones." Mr. Goh, get with it. It's not the Dark Ages anymore.
