Tags: panasonic, frames, raw, flip
We like:
Interchangeable lenses; fast performance; excellent photo quality; flip-and-twist LCD
We don't like:
Accident-prone jog dial; some restrictive feature implementations; no movie capture
CNET UK judgement:
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is a camera that people will either love for its speed, photo quality, and interchangeable-lens flexibility or hate for its large-ish size, electronic viewfinder and occasionally frustrating design

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
We wish it were slightly faster, but it offers a useful 6x zoom and great photo quality
Canon PowerShot A480
Fuss-free compact that takes good photos given the price. Just don't expect too much from it
Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
Good camera, but it's underspecified and overpriced, even compared to other IXUS models
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers

Are Micro Four Thirds cameras EVIL?
The Olympus E-P1 is the latest Micro Four Thirds camera range, and Olympus may claim it's a Pen, but we just have to ask: if it isn't EVIL, what is it?
