Product Summary
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 (with 14mm-45mm lens)
price range: $879.99 - $899.99
The best interchangeable-lens compact we've see thus far, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 delivers great photo quality and performance in an enthusiast-friendly shooting experience. Like competitors, however, the lack of an optical viewfinder limits its usability for photographing action.
