IWOOT #5 Lumix - Like an SLR, only SMLR



The Panasonic Lumix G-1 looks simply awesome. It adopts the Micro Four Thirds System standard for digital camera systems without a mirror box. It's a 12-megapixel digital, interchangeable lens camera that's both extremely compact - 40% smaller than other comparable digital SLR cameras - and very portable. As they say, 'Like an SLR, only SMLR'. iA (Intelligent Auto) and Live View (the 3" LCD screen displays precisely how the exposure compensation and white balance adjustment will affect your photo) modes for idiots like me, too. Only 449 squid at Jessops - certainly good competition for the Nikon D80 and Canon EOS 450D. I really do Want One Of Those.
