We used the camera to photograph a concert performance under a mixed light source of window and incandescent spots with the ISO set to 1600. The images are sharp with very good white balance and no objectionable noise. Image stabilisation (in the lens) is
The electronic viewfinders are not getting any better. Considering that they have now been fitted to compact cameras for about ten years the lack of improvement is perplexing
This camera has the form of a DSLR in a shrunken body. The elimination of the mirror box and the use of a smaller sensor means that the functionality of a camera with interchangeable lenses can be fitted into the smaller body without too many compromises...

Abstract: Unfortunately, we don't have copies of those images, although we have managed to take a few high ISO shots of our own that you can judge for yourselves on the Sample Image pages of this preview. Of course, it'll take more thorough testing than we had time for..
Both touchscreen and conventional controls, Very fast, reliable; useful Intelligent technology, Superior highISO quality
A bit large due to builtin EVF and flash, Skin tones are best in Portrait modes, Battery life was shorter than expected
The G3 is quite competitive with many entry-level DLSRs in speed, versatility and image quality up to ISO 1600. However, when shooting very fast action moving at erratic speeds, a DSLR is preferable; this applies to all CSCs. This camera offers the bes...

The LUMIX DMC-G3 doesn't disappoint when it comes to image quality. It can capture very clear images and it's a fun camera to use. It's a compact camera that's a lot easier to carry around that a digital SLR, yet it still offers similar functionality. ...
