    4.0 out of 5 stars Good camera - terrible manual 28 Mar 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    I bought this camera after considerable research to develop my skill and knowledge of photography.
    I have had quite a few compact digital cameras so I know the basic principles of operation, but found the manual that came with the camera incomprehensible.
    After a few attempts to grasp the basics of the G2 (and failing!), I bought a book called 'The Panasonic G2 Quintessential Guide'which is much more accessible and allows the ordinary user to develop an understanding of the camera functions and how th use them
    Having gained this understanding, I find the G2 is excellent in all respects, giving first class results in all situations that I have tried it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Versatile camera, great photo quality 26 Sep 2010
    I thought long and hard about whether to get another full-sized DSLR or move to the lighter and more portable micro four-thirds format. I'm glad I did as the G2 is a terrific camera. Photos quality is comparable to well known DSLRs but I find the small and light form factor encourages me to take the camera with me more often and to experiment when I wouldn't have bothered to carry a much heavier offering from Canon etc. Downsides - not the camera, but the manual which is impenetrable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Lumix G2 5 Mar 2011
    By Mike F
    I always wondered why a DSLR is so large and heavy - as the image sensor is only two-thirds the size of a 35 mm negative, I thought they should be about the size of an old Pentax ME - the smallest full-frame 35 mm SLR.

    Well - here it is,in the form of the Lumix G2 - it does everything my Nikon DSLR does, but has about two-thirds of the weight and bulk. Even the standard 14-42 lens is as good as the Nikon equivalent, while the electronic viewfinder is even better than the optical pentaprism of my Nikon.

    The control layout is really good, and it is difficult to fault it - but what is the point of a touchscreen? Still, it does no harm, and its ability to swivel makes it a good low or high-angle viewfinder.
