Page 2 of 2 Aside from the Full-time viewfinder (3-inch 460,000 dot LCD screen) on the back of the camera, the “optical viewfinder” is a “high-performance 1,440,000-dot-equivalent electronic viewfinder system” that Panasonic says is as good as a conventional viewfinder because it has a 100% field of view and receives its signal direct from the Live MOS sensor.

There are plenty of other advanced features, including the ability to take 16:9 high-def (1920x1080) images for display on full HDTVs, with the G1 even coming with an HDMI “output terminal”, although to connect it to an HDMI-equipped HDTV you’ll need to purchase a separately available HDMI mini cable. Although the camera uses Panasonic’s new Micro Four Thirds System lenses, the G1 is compatible with existing Four Thirds System lenses through the use of a lens adaptor. Set to go on sale in mid-November, the camera will come in single and twin lens kits. The price for the LUMIX DMC-G1 Single Lens Kit with LUMIX G VARIO 14-45mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH./MEGA O.I.S. lens is AUD $1,649 RRP. The Twin Lens Kit including the LUMIX DMC-G1 with two lenses, LUMIX G VARIO 14-45mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH./MEGA O.I.S. and LUMIX G VARIO 45-200mm/F4.0-5.6/MEGA O.I.S., is AUD $2,199 RRP. Now we wait to see how other camera manufacturers will respond! |
