Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2
12.1 megapixels | 3" screen | Four Thirds sensor
Panasonic's replacement for its original DMC-G1 that kick-started the compact interchangeble lens sector. It retains the same 12.1MP Live MOS sensor but gains an updated Venus Engine HD II processor capable of 720i60 (50 in PAL countries) video recording in the AVCHD Lite format. It also gains greater external control of AF modes, a dedicated button for jumping straight to the iAuto point-and-shoot mode and well-implemented touch-screen controls. Its high-res viewfinder makes the G2 a compelling alternative to an entry-level DSLR.

The Lumix DMC-G2 takes all of the things that made the original G1 great, and adds touchscreen functionality to the LCD, a new image processor, HD video recording, and several more "Intelligent" features first seen on Panasonic's compact cameras. The DMC-G2 does have its share of issues, though, namely a tendency to underexpose and clip highlights, redeye, and an unremarkable burst mode. Despite a few flaws, the DMC-G2 offers one of the best shooting experiences of any interchangeable lens camera out there.
