Fast and accurate autofocus, Great ISO performance, Manual controls at fingertips, Plenty of customizable commands, Very easy to use camera
Awkward forced grip
The Panasonic Lumix GX1 presents an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, upgrade from the GF1. In fact, you could pretty much think of the GX1 as the GF2, if the actual GF2 had never happened. Those who have waited two years for a new GF1 could fee...
