Panasonic GM1: A Pint-Sized, Adorable Mirrorless Camera

Panasonic GM1: A Pint-Sized, Adorable Mirrorless Camera

Panasonic’s new Lumix GM1 is the first camera in a new line of mirrorless, interchangeable-lens cameras that will prioritise style and portability over blockbuster features. Damn, this thing is freaking tiny like a point-and-shoot.

The GM1 is primarily striking for its minuscule footprint, equivalent to the amount of space that an advanced, pocketable point-and-shot takes up. It weighs just six ounces. Wow. We shouldn’t under-estimate the reductive design and engineering at work here. The camera contains the same 16-megapixel micro four thirds sense that’s in the Panasonic GX7 RX100 II point-and shoot. The two cameras are about the same size, so you have to ask yourself: Would you rather have a near-perfect point-and-shoot, or a mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera that makes loads of compromises for compactness.
