Our quick take

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 - 4.0 / 5

Design and build

Take control

Performance

To recap

The GF3 is Panasonic’s most portable and easiest to use Micro Four Thirds G-series camera yet, but it comes at a slight cost, missing out on some of the usability and flexibility of predecessors and models higher up the range. Still build quality is good, it’s fast and responsive, and anyone trading up from a point and shoot camera for the fist time in the hope of gaining more professional looking pictures will certainly get what they wish for
