Oct 14, 2009 · The GF1 is essentially a G1 (with a couple of GH1 features and the loss of a handful of scene modes) squashed into a body that's more or less the same size as the E-P1 - it occupies 35% less volume and is 26% lighter than the G1.

The GF1 automatically adjusts the focus to match the AF area you positioned while gently defocusing the foreground and background to emphasize the subject. You don't have to change the aperture yourself to take photos with the highly attractive soft focus effect of an SLR camera.

Jun 19, 2012 · I have the 14mm, but have not used it too much, I have been using the 20mm and 45 1.8 a great deal--probably due to the subject matter. I like the 14mm compactness, but wish I had gotten the larger 12mm or broken the bank with 7-14mm as I like the wider view.

Sep 2, 2009 · The Panasonic GF1 has a 12.1-megapixel sensor, a 3-inch LCD, and comes with either a 14-45mm zoom lens or a 20mm f/1.7 prime lens. A built-in pop-up flash is nestled in the top deck and the GF1...

Aug 18, 2013 · With your old GF1 you will find that the extra speed really helps. On my E-P1 I find the 14mm unremarkable and the 20mm still amazes me all the time. The 14mm is still a perfectly acceptable lens, just doesn't wow me. I use the 14mm for casual video the most. It's wide FOV and quick focusing make it more suited to general video.

We expect most users will opt for the DMC-GF1K package, priced at $899.95, which includes a 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens (equivalent to a 28-90mm on a 35mm camera). There's another intriguing option, though, at the same price: a slender 20mm pancake lens at a speedy f/1.7 maximum aperture.

Feb 17, 2011 · Being such a wide angle at 14mm, this lens offers depth of field with almost everything in focus. Get close and you will get some background blur though you will also get distortions, especially if going for a portrait.

Oct 14, 2009 · The GF1 is available in kits with two lenses - the compact Lumix G 14-45mm F3.5-5.6 zoom with optical image stabilization (OIS) that first appeared with the DMC-G1, and the petite but fast 20mm F1.7 'pancake'.
