I thought most Sony dSLRs have that feature?]]>Sep 30th 2008 3:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 4:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/
Actually while the feature is found on most entry level DSLR now, it's rather uncommon to see it on a higher end bodies. Of course since most of their settings can be adjusted in either the viewfinder or top-mounted LCD, these cameras also aren't as dependent on their color LCDs in the first place]]>Sep 30th 2008 5:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 3:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 3:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 4:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/]]>Sep 30th 2008 5:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 7:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Not that I won't accept one if you give it to me though
But they do draw the eye somehow, those rings, even in the other shots they look very, perhaps overly, sturdy.

Manly might be the word.]]>Sep 30th 2008 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/
Even optical in-lens IS doesn't justify the price.

At this price it might become "toy camera of choice" for professionals, but I wouldn't expect it to have any significant impact.]]>Sep 30th 2008 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/
It's a bad choice for someone just getting into the more serious end of photography because the fate of the format is unknown. It's a bad choice for serious photogs cause none of their glass will work.

Panasonic has a *huge* hump to overcome with this, and so far it doesn't seem like the project has enough backing to make it. IMHO it will be just a side note in the evolution of photographic technology.]]>Sep 30th 2008 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/
dont know how true this is but it might be a pretty similar camera...

also on a side note my proximity sensor on my nikon d60 seems to work just fine...]]>Sep 30th 2008 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/
and yes, that color is hideous.]]>Sep 30th 2008 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/
I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Those sensitive, moving optical components that make a camera an SLR are exactly what I want to avoid in a high-end, take-anywhere camera.]]>Sep 30th 2008 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/
It's a nice concept, but I would rather buy a low end Canon or Nikon for the money.]]>Sep 30th 2008 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 4:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Sep 30th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/30/panasonic-lumix-dmc-g1-coming-in-november-at-799-according-to-b/Dec 11th 2008 10:51AM
