Gift Guide: Panasonic GF1 Camera

by Evan Shamoon on October 31, 2009 at 11:09 PM


Panasonic GF1 (Gadget Head, Under $1000)

Gadget heads, take notice: the Panasonic GF1 ($800) is a ridiculously nice camera to shoot with. Because it uses the new Micro Four Thirds standard, it essentially allows for most of the benefits of a dSLR -- interchangeable lenses, and thereby excellent image quality -- without all the bulk. The solid, sturdy metal body is definitely too big for your pocket, but it's not a pain to leave around your neck for long periods of time, either. Full, easily accessible manual control, excellent image quality (if not quite up to the standard of quality dSLR), and a superb screen make this arguably the coolest camera to own right now (excluding Leica, that is).
