“This is an excellent option for anyone looking for dSLR performance and quality but don’t want to lug around a big camera.”

We’ve added another DIL camera review to our Reviews Matrix: the Panasonic GF1 [Specs], a Micro Four-Thirds Digital Interchangeable Lens (DIL) camera. Take a DSLR, remove its mirror, pentaprism/pentamirror and viewfinder, and replace them with a high resolution LCD and electronic viewfinder (so you still are able to see exactly what the lens is seeing) — and you get a DIL: a “mirrorless DSLR” in a more compact and lightweight form. The DIL cameras are the next generation DSLRs and all the rage currently.

Steve’s Digicams has published their review of the Panasonic GF1. They compare the GF1 against the traditional DSLR in image quality and performance.

You can read the full Panasonic GF1 Review (and the conclusion whether the GF1 challenges the DSLRs) at: Steve’s Digicams.

Not surprisingly, the Olympus E-P2 and Panasonic GF1, the Digital Interchangeable Lens (DIL) cameras [aka "mirrorless" DSLRs], were two favorites for their compactness and light weight as compared to a DSLR.

Other winners: Panasonic GH1, Pentax K-x, Leica M9 and Sony A850. Oh, and the Fujifilm GF670 / Voigtlaender Bessa III 120-roll film camera [FOMC]?

The micro Four Thirds mount makes its compact form possible and accepts interchangeable lenses. For those who are tired of the weight, size and complexity of a DSLR, the Panasonic GF1 shows what the future of digital cameras is going to be… now.

“The [Panasonic] GF1 is a near perfect travel camera. For 16 days I lived with it strapped to me as I climbed through the valleys of central Nepal up to Annapurna Base Camp at 4,200 meters.”
