Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 is the new Micro Four Third shooter in town

There’s yet another new Micro Four Thirds shooter in town, and it’s from Panasonic, the company that gave us the famous Lumix DMC-GF2. This time, it’s the slightly bigger brother, the Lumix DMC-G3. Yes, this is the successor to the G2.

The G3 comes with a 16 megapixel sensor, support for 1080p AVCHD video recording with stereo audio, 4fps burst shooting at full resolution, and an articulating, 3-inch touchscreen that supplants some of the dials adorning the last-gen model.

In addition to all those specs, you can touch that display to focus on your subject, and slide your finger to tweak exposure, white balance, and depth of field — all in all, not unlike how you might interact with a smartphone camera. It seemed like they learn very fast about the latest trends.

Also, this new successor is said to weight ten percent less than the G2 at 11.8 ounces, all thanks to the aluminium-clad body.

Look for it in June for $700 in brown, red, and white — in addition to your garden-variety black.
