Canon PowerShot G12 Review

Introduction

Ferraris get updated every few years. And so do Canon�s �G� series point-and-shoot cameras. Last year we tested the G11 and liked it a lot, but it still had some drawbacks, notably the lack of high-def video recording. The company rectified that problem with the new 10-megapixel G12, and even added a few tweaks that�ll please many shutterbugs. Let�s see what they are, and if the G12 is worth nearly 500 clams.
Features and Design

Put the G11 next to the G12 and at first glance they�re nearly identical, other than a changed model number. The G series doesn�t sport day-glo colors or the thinness of an iPhone. It�s big, bulky and looks quite old fashioned. In fact it looks almost like the new Nikon Coolpix P7000, another $499 digicam marketed to serious photographers. Check out the photos and you�ll see this is not a frivolous piece of gear. It measures 4.4 x 3 x 1.9 (WHD, in inches) and weighs 12.4 ounces without the battery and card, nearly a pound fully loaded.

Look closely on the front and you�ll see one of the improvements�a handy jog wheel right below the shutter. You�ll use this to make adjustments such as aperture and shutter speed when you move out of auto. Also on the front is a 5x optically-stabilized zoom with a range of 28-140mm. We liked this lens in the past, and it�s still a winner. Would we like a longer reach like the P7000�s 7.1x 28-200mm? Sure, but it didn�t feel like we missed much during our tests. Also on the front is the flash, porthole for the optical viewfinder and autofocus-assist lamp. A release button lets you take off the ring surrounding the lens to add optional conversion lenses.

The top has dials that transport older shooters to the good old days of film cameras. The only thing missing is a crank to rewind film! On the far left, you can adjust exposure compensation with a small dial, then move past the hot shoe and tweak ISO (auto through 3200) with another dial. Sitting atop that one is the main mode dial. Here are your key shooting options including Smart Auto, PASM, two custom settings, low light, high speed, scene and movie. Nearby is the power button andshutter, surrounded by the zoom-toggle switch.

With Smart Auto, the camera guesses what type of subject is front of it and chooses the settings. It does this well. PASM stands for Program AE, Aperture/Shutter Priority and full Manual. Low light drops the resolution to 2.5 megapixels for low-noise shots in candlelight, while high speed supposedly takes a shot quickly (this is not true burst shooting, and is pretty useless). Scene gives you access to 20 options, from the usual portrait and landscape options to more unusual ones, such as fisheye and miniature. The one new choice of note is HDR � High Dynamic Range � which we�ll discuss shortly. The movie option is a definite upgrade, with the camera now taking 720p HD video, versus VGA (640 x 480) video on the G11. It also captures stereo audio, which adds fuller sound to your clips. Surprisingly there�s no direct red video button as found on so many 2010 digicams. Canon should re-jigger that with the G13 � or whatever the next model will be called.

The rear of the G12 is the same as the G11. The key features are the 2.8-inch vari-angle LCD screen rated a very good 461K pixels, and an optical viewfinder with diopter adjustment to use if the screen wipes out � it rarely does � or you want to be old school and look through the viewfinder. There are the usual buttons, including a four-way controller surrounded by a jog wheel. On the right side are mini HDMI and USB outs, while the left has a tiny speaker. The bottom of the Made-in-Japan G12 has a metal tripod mount, and the compartment for its battery and memory card. The camera accepts the newer SDXC media, and you should use a Class 6 card or higher for best results.
What�s In The Box

The G12 comes packaged with a battery rated good for 370 shots using the monitor, a plug-in charger, USB and A/V cables, as well as a neck strap. It has a 36-page Getting Started guide and the full Owner�s Manual is on the supplied CD-ROM, which also has Canon software for handling images and developing RAW files.

Like the S95, G11, and Nikon P7000, the PowerShot G12 has a 10-megapixel CCD, which is larger than the usual digicam sensor (1/1.7-inches vs. 1/2.3). Fewer and larger pixels result in good color with less noise at higher ISOs � and 10-megapixels is more than enough for large prints. Canon started this trend about a year ago � getting off the megapixel merry-go-round � and should be commended for it.

We kicked off shooting full resolution JPEGs (3648 x 2736 pixels) in Smart Auto, then proceeded to move through the mode dial, switching to RAW when the subject presented itself. Autumn has hit the Northeast, so we had the chance to capture some colorful leaves. Along with the typical clich�s, we took people shots, landscapes and performed other tests.

Once done, the images were viewed full screen on a monitor, 8�10 prints made, and videos reviewed on a 50-inch plasma via HDMI. Before getting into the specific results, let�s say the G12 is a real pleasure to use. Controls are in all the right places, the menu systems easy-to-follow, and it has the heft that lets you know you have a real camera in your hands. The vari-angle LCD is very good, rarely wiping out in direct sunshine, but it would be nice if it were larger. The camera�s optical image stabilization system is among the best we�ve used, plus the G12 has more tweaks than most people would ever want. As an added bonus, the camera grabs two frames per second versus the 1.1 fps of the G11. You still won�t get rock-solid focus of moving subjects, but it is a definite improvement.

One of the highlights of this camera is the HDR option in the scene settings. High Dynamic Range combines a series of three photos which results in wider dynamic range. This means there�s less noise, a wider color gamut and much more detail. The results are outstanding, but note this is for static subjects only, as Canon recommends a tripod when using it. We rested it on a counter while shooting similar shots of a lit candle in Low Light mode and then HDR. Results were truly night and day, with much less noise, larger file sizes and detail that were stunning. If you can get your kids or spouse to sit still long enough, you�ll get some great portraits.

With the low light 2.5-megapixel setting you can handhold the G12, a real positive when shooting a birthday party. While in this mode, ISOs range from 320 to 12,800; it�s 80 to 3200 in all others. The results were very good, especially at the lower settings. An 8�10 of a 12,800 ISO image was pretty good, which is incredible when you think about it. Naturally, ISO 320 was much better, and HDR simply blew it away.

Everything isn�t paradise with the G12. We were a bit disappointed at some higher ISO shots of our test subject (a multi-colored beaded lampshade). If you stay below 800, your large prints should be fine.

Photos taken outdoors with lots of daylight were right on the money, as you�d expect from Canon�s top-of-the-line point-and-shoot. The camera captured the crisp blue skies, bright red and yellow leaves,as well as excellent detail of foliage and macro close-ups of the last butterflies of the season.

Videos were a good 720p, without too much blocking and digitization. It�s not AVCHD, but the clips are sufficient for capturing motion memories. The G12 is first and foremost a camera and quality stills is its raison d��tre. As such, it delivers the goods.
Conclusion

No surprise here � the Canon PowerShot G12 is an excellent camera with HD video that will appeal to loads of enthusiasts. But � and this is a big but � for around $100 more you can get a Sony NEX-3, a very compact camera with a much larger 14.2MP APS-C sensor, interchangeable lens capability, 720p video and seven frames per second burst shooting. There are also Micro-Four-Thirds interchangeable lens cameras from Olympus and Panasonic, plus Samsung�s new NX100 also has a DSLR-sized sensor and optional glass. If you�re looking for a quality camera at the $500-$600 level, you now have more choices than ever. The PowerShot G12 does give you the 28-140mm focal range without the hassle of swapping lenses and spending a tidy sum for the zoom of your choice. With the influx of compact interchangeable lens cameras, we may be seeing the end of the era of the fully-featured, high-priced point-and-shoot. While it�s easy recommending the G12, it�s not the slam dunk it used to be.
Highs:

* Very good picture quality
* Low noise even in very low light
* Tweaks galore
* HDR a great option for still subjects

Lows:

* Expensive
* Too much noise at elevated ISOs
* No dedicated video button
* May be the end of an era

Canon Announces Flagship Rebel T2i

February 8, 2009 - Canon kicked the Rebel line up a notch today with the introduction of the Rebel T2i, an 18-megapixel SLR that shoots 1080p video,


In addition to a resolution step-up (from the 15.1-megapixel T1i), the T2i provides a slightly faster burst rate (3.7 frames per second, versus 3.4 for the T1i) and an enhanced 3-inch LCD, with 1.04-million-dot resolution (T1i screen resolution is 920,000 dots). On the Rebel T1i, ISO 6400 is considered an extended setting, where it's an official numeric setting on the T2i. Both cameras can be pushed to ISO 12,800 as a Hi extended setting.

The T2i metering system uses the same has 63-zone sensor as the 7D, but adapted for nine focusing points (versus 19 on the 7D).

Both cameras offer high-def video recording at 1920 x 1080 maximum resolution, but the T2i provides a more usable 24 frames per second versus the choppy 20fps on the T1i. The T2i also adds the manual exposure controls found on the Canon 7D, along with an external microphone input for stereo audio.

Canon Powershot SD4500 IS / IXUS 1000 HS

Canon has released what it calls the world's slimmest super zoom camera - the PowerShot SD4500 IS (IXUS 1000 HS in Europe). Measuring 22mm at the thinnest side, it features the company's 'HS' system first featured in the SD4000 IS, promising better low-light performance and high-speed photography. It shares the same 10MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor and 2.7 inch LCD as the SD4000 IS, but offers a longer 10x zoom range starting at a rather over-long 36mm equivalent. The image-stabilized camera can record full HD movies as well as Super Slow Motion movies at 240fps, and (in Europe, at least) represents ten years since the IXUS range first went digital.

Canon marks ten years of its stylish IXUS digital camera series with the launch of the incredible IXUS 1000 HS � a high-performance model combining advanced Canon optics with leading technology in a luxurious metal body. A completely new addition to the IXUS series, this model takes the range to new heights, fusing high-tech features and signature IXUS styling to provide premium image quality and head-turning looks in one outstanding package.
Available in silver, brown and pink, the IXUS 1000 HS is one of the most advanced IXUS models to date, exemplifying the innovation that has been consistently present in every generation of the IXUS series. A compact but powerful 10x optical zoom lens makes it the slimmest super zoom camera of its kind anywhere in the world*1 while Full HD video capture allows users to record smooth, 1080p movies. It�s also the second IXUS to feature the HS System, combining a high-sensitivity, 10.0 Megapixel CMOS sensor with powerful DIGIC 4 processing to provide fantastic all-round image quality and high-speed shooting.

Unique design, advanced performance
A perfect combination of performance and portability, the advanced feature-set of the IXUS 1000 HS helps users to get the perfect shot every time. The exceptionally compact 10x optical zoom lens showcases the pioneering optical expertise trusted by millions of Canon owners world-wide, ensuring the benefits of a high zoom lens are not lost for the sake of pocketability. As a result of unique engineering, the IXUS 1000 HS offers both � boasting a slim profile that will comfortably fit into a pocket or handbag.

A highly-effective optical Image Stabilizer designed with advanced lens-shift technology allows users to capture sharp images in darker conditions or when the zoom is extended, providing the perfect tool for consistently capturing clearly defined, blur-free images. A new, intelligent Handheld Night Scene mode also makes it easy to take beautiful night shots without a tripod, combining several shots taken in succession into one sharp and optimally-exposed picture.

The HS System � speed and sensitivity combined
The integrated HS System ensures excellent performance in low light, taking advantage of the 10.0MP high-sensitivity CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 processor to provide premium image quality and up to 60% lower noise levels at all ISO speeds*2. The camera also supports a maximum ISO speed of 3200 at full resolution, while an extended maximum speed of ISO 6400 is available at 2.5MP resolution, allowing the camera to capture the natural ambience of dimly-lit environments without the flash.

The HS System also enables high-speed, non-stop action to be recorded until either the shutter button is released or the memory card becomes full. Up to 3.7 shots per second continuous shooting at full 10.0MP resolution, captures fast-moving subjects in maximum detail, and up to 8.8 shots per second at 2.5MP resolution in High-speed Burst mode means users will never miss a moment�s action. With Best Image Selection, users can let the camera choose the best image from a selection of five 2.5MP high-speed shots, reducing time spent flicking through hundreds of similar images to find the ones to keep. Extreme, fast-paced scenes can also be recorded using the Super Slow Motion Movie mode, which captures at 240 frames per second (fps) and plays back at 30fps, providing a dramatic, and often spectacular, perspective on the subject.

Capture hidden detail � Full HD video with stereo sound
The advanced video performance of the IXUS 1000 HS is among the best in Canon�s compact range, shooting HD movies in full 1920x1080p resolution. Full HD movies are captured at 24frames per second , providing a smooth, cinematic account of the action being recorded, while stereo sound complements the pictures with clear, CD-quality audio.

The lens� quiet motor allows users to use the optical zoom in Movie mode with minimum audio interference, and a Dynamic Image Stabilizer mode reduces the distracting camera shake effect produced when recording video while moving.

Smart Auto in Movie mode immediately identifies the shooting scene and selects the optimal settings for 21 different situations so the user doesn�t have to. The Miniature Mode in movies adds a completely new dimension to video footage � shooting at low frame rates with designated portions of the picture blurred for dramatic and compelling miniature-style, timelapse videos. The integrated HDMI-mini port provides an instant way to share images and video directly on any HDMI-compatible screen, including HDTVs.

IXUS quality, IXUS intelligence
True to the IXUS heritage, a highly compact body houses an advanced feature-set, packing the extensive range of technologies into a sleek, glossy exterior. The all-metal design provides the outstanding build-quality uniformly associated with the IXUS range, while a subtle, angular design, with easy-to-reach controls, makes the camera even easier to handle.

A 7.6 cm (3.0�) PureColor II G LCD screen incorporates a tempered glass outer layer, providing a high contrast, wide viewing angle ideal for shooting large groups or subjects from awkward angles. The 16:9 widescreen display also allows users to frame and play back HD video footage in full screen without black borders at the top and bottom of the picture, providing the perfect companion to the Full HD movie capture.

The IXUS 1000 HS also helps beginners explore and develop their creative side, with a range of technologies that make it easy to capture striking shots. Smart Auto with Scene Detection Technology provides the best results in all conditions, intelligently detecting the scene and selecting the optimum settings from 28 variables � currently the highest number of scenes detected and displayed in the market.

Smart Flash Exposure also controls flash levels according to shooting conditions, providing the right amount of flash to ensure perfectly exposed shots in all situations, from dimly-lit rooms to bright sunlight.
A range of creative shooting modes make taking exciting shots both easy and fun.

Fish-eye Effect mimics the distortion of a fish-eye lens, and Miniature Effect makes subjects appear like small-scale models. Easy self-portraits are provided by SmartShutter, which uses Face Detection Technology to trigger the shutter using a smile or a wink of the eye. Using FaceSelf-Timer, users can also set the camera to shoot automatically after detecting a new face in the frame � allowing the photographer to become part of the picture.

Easy, wireless content transfers are supported by integrated Eye-Fi connected functions, allowing remote uploads to image sharing websites such as CANON iMAGE GATEWAY. The camera features a dedicated Eye-Fi section in the User Interface, and will disable the automatic power-down function when the Eye-Fi card transmits data � allowing users to transfer content easily and without interruption*3.

Share stories with CANON iMAGE GATEWAY
Owners of the IXUS 1000 HS can join the CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, an online facility for sharing photos and video. Users can take advantage of up to 2GB of personal storage capacity, creating enough room for hundreds of high-quality images. Mobile browsing is also supported, making it easy for friends and family to view photos on the move.

Canon IXUS and PowerShot Rely on Creative Features

Beautify images no longer need to be done on a PC through the help of graphics processing applications. These efforts can now be done directly from the ranks of the latest pocket cameras Canon IXUS and PowerShot.

In the midst of competition in a stadium that is more strict pocket camera, the quality of the images between the camera and the other one brand may not be too noticeable difference. Therefore, the enrichment of features Canon's choice as a factor of differentiation with its competitors.

In brand-new family member IXUS and PowerShot SX series, namely IXUS310 HS, IXUS220 HS, IXUS115 HS, and the PowerShot SX230 HS, for example, Canon sank a number of creative features.

One of them, features Movie Digest. With this feature, the cameras automatically record the video as far as 4 seconds before each photo shots. This feature also automatically will always do the storage of photos and video taken in one day in a folder at the same time making it easy to find.

"Movie Features Digest was first introduced as Canon's commitment to creating high quality products and pampering users in capturing precious moments intact without missing the beginning," said Merry Harun (Director of the Division of Canon PT Datascrip).

Latest generation of Canon IXUS and PowerShot SX also features HS System and the DIGIC imaging processor to record high quality images even in low light conditions, features Creative Filters which include six photo effects (Toy Camera, Fish-eye, Super Vivid, Posters, Miniature, Monochrome ), and features Smart Auto to detect 32 different scene.

In addition, the ranks of the Canon IXUS and PowerShot SX can record video with the quality of Full High Definition (HD) 1920x1080 with Stereo Sound.

Canon also launched five types of compact cameras the PowerShot A series, the A3300 IS, A3200 IS, A2200 and A1200. In the fifth model, there are features Live Control to provide a quick and easy flexibility in adjusting the brightness (from dark to light), color saturation (neutral to bright) and the tonal range (give the impression of cold to warm).

Except for A800, this brand-new series PowerShot cameras also offer the ability to record High Definition resolution video (HD) 1280x720.

Canon PowerShot SX200 IS

In addition to camera models such as DSLR, Canon PowerShot SX series also presents Megazoom-lens compact camera that is more compact in size, small, the PowerShot SX200 IS features 12 Megapixel resolution with a 12x optical zoom equivalent to 28mm to 336mm. Other features of the SX200 IS is also very impressive, 720HD movie mode, 3 inch LCD screen, Optical Image Stabilization, Smart Auto mode, motion detection, face detection, blink detection, and red-eye correction. PowerShot SX200 IS will be available with a choice of colors black, blue and red with a price of USD 350 or equivalent to Rp. 4.2 million, and comes more quickly at the end of next March.

Camera Kit For The iPad

One of the things that iPad users complain about is the lack of a camera, but that could be changing when the new iPad comes out next year. Although that does not do anything to help the owners of the current iPad, surely there is something that can be done about that? Well it seems that a Chinese firm MIC have done just that with theircamera connector kit.

These are the details for the MIC Gadget 3 in 1 camera kit for the Apple iPad;

Remember the 2-in-1 iPad camera connection kit? It�s an useful accessory for your iPad, and it�s amazing to see that the two dongles Apple sells bundled together for $29 have been reduced to just the one device, but what�s more amazing we seeing here is a 3-in-1 version. In addition, it comes in black colour too.

Priced at around $30

Panasonic's LUMIX GF2 Features Touchscreen, Full HD Recording

All of the menu settings and switching among manual, shutter priority, aperture priority, scene modes, and program mode are all done on the GF2's 3-inch touchscreen LCD. Dedicated buttons include one for movie recording and an Intelligent Auto button, located on the top of the camera. The camera also has a range of AF (Auto Focus) modes, including multiple-area AF with up to 23 focus areas, 1-area AF with a selectable focus area, Face Detection, and AF Tracking.

The LUMIX GF2 records 1920 x 1080 videos at 60i or smooth HD 1280 x 720 movies at 60p in AVCHD. The GF2 can also record HD Motion JPEG in 1280 x 720 and QVGA, VGA and WVGA. On-board stereo microphones are also included for high quality sound recording.

Press release:

PANASONIC INTRODUCES COMPANY�S SMALLEST AND LIGHTEST DIGITAL INTERCHANGEABLE LENS SYSTEM CAMERA WITH FLASH
New Panasonic LUMIX GF2 Features Touch-Screen Operation, Full HD Video Recording Capability and Compatible with Panasonic�s Interchangeable 3D Lens

November 4, 2010 � Panasonic today announced the LUMIX DMC-GF2, the latest of the company's DSL Micro (DSLM) compact mirrorless cameras, which is Panasonic�s smallest and lightest interchangeable lens system camera � complete with a built-in flash. The LUMIX GF2 is compatible with lenses from the Micro Four Thirds standard, meaning the system is small and compact, while not compromising ease of operation or image quality. Even more, the LUMIX GF2 is compatible with Panasonic�s new 3D interchangeable lens, the LUMIX G 12.5mm / F12, so users can take 3D photos.

"The LUMIX GF2 is key in the Panasonic DSL Micro line-up, as it�s the smallest and lightest model we offer, while still offering superb image quality, which our consumers have come to expect from LUMIX. Compared to the GF1, its predecessor, the GF2 has been reduced approximately 19% in size and approximately 7% in weight yet is still retains its signature built-in flash," said Darin Pepple, Senior Product Manager, Imaging, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. "We expect the LUMIX GF2 to be an attractive model for consumers who want to step up to a more powerful camera that is easy to use, and a camera that is �future-proof� with its 3D capabilities."

The LUMIX GF2 is extremely easy to operate for consumers at any level, thanks to a newly- designed user interface, which allows for the focus to be set, or shutter released, by simply touching the large 3-inch touch-screen LCD. The touch-screen LCD with a 460,000-dot-resolution makes taking great photos intuitive. Once a user locks on a subject by touch, the LUMIX GF2 tracks the subject with the AF tracking function, even if the subject moves � making it easy to take photos of moving subjects, like children playing. The contrast AF system adopted by the LUMIX DMC-GF2 is not only accurate and easy to use, but also very fast. Users can choose from a wide range of AF (Auto Focus) modes, including multiple-area AF with up to 23 focus areas, 1-area AF with a selectable focus area, Face Detection, and AF Tracking.

The touch operation also dramatically shortens the time spent navigating the menus. With the LUMIX GF2�s newly-designed Touch Q-menu, the user can customize the camera�s shortcuts with the most commonly used settings. Together with the simple button components, including dedicated buttons for video recording and iA (Intelligent Auto) mode which lights in-use, users can operate the camera intuitively with ease.

With the Intelligent Scene Selector in the iA mode, the camera automatically switches to the appropriate mode according to the subject touched. For example, a touch on a human face switches to the portrait mode and a touch on the background or scenery switches to the scenery mode, while a touch on the subject close to the camera switches to the close-up mode. With the MF assist mode for manual focusing, users can enlarge the subject by just a touch to select 1x, 5x or 10x and smoothly move the subject by dragging it on the screen. In iA mode and the Peripheral Defocus mode, the range of defocus can be adjusted by just moving the slider with a finger, something not possible with larger more complicated DSLR cameras that don�t feature touch control.

While achieving breakthroughs in compactness of design and outstanding photo and video quality, the Panasonic LUMIX GF2 can contribute its professional-level imaging performance to well-balanced engine and sensor technologies. For the image processor, the Venus Engine FHD is incorporated, featuring exceptionally high performance signal processing capabilities in both photo and movie recording. With the advanced noise reduction system employing the 3D NR and CNR (Chromatic Noise Reduction), users can capture clear, naturally-balanced images even when shooting at high ISO sensitivity levels to help prevent the color bleeding.

Panasonic's Venus Engine FHD enables Intelligent Resolution technology, which means that three areas � outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation � are automatically detected. Then, the outline parts are enhanced effectively to give edges more clearness while giving a moderate accentuation to the texture areas to look more finely detailed. To the soft gradation part, noise reduction system is applied to make it smoother. Apart from the uniform enhancement of sharpness, the innovative technology Intelligent Resolution precisely performs signal processing pixel by pixel, resulting in images that are naturally clear and crisp in both video and photos. The 12.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor featured in the LUMIX GF2 offers the best of both worlds � the superb image quality of a CCD sensor, plus the lower power consumption of a CMOS sensor.

All of Panasonic's LUMIX G-Series DSLM cameras are equipped with the highly-efficient Dust Reduction System. If dust gets inside the camera when the user changes lenses, it could cling to the image sensor and show up as a spot in photos. The Dust Reduction System helps to reduce this risk by placing a supersonic wave filter in front of the Live MOS sensor. Vibrating vertically around 50,000 times per second, the filter repels dust and other particles.

The LUMIX GF2 shoots professional-quality full High Definition (HD) videos as well as handling still photography. The LUMIX GF2 can record 1920 x 1080 videos at 60i or smooth HD 1280 x 720 movies at 60p in AVCHD. For those looking for better compatibility with computers, the LUMIX GF2 can also record HD Motion JPEG in 1280 x 720 and QVGA, VGA and WVGA. A dedicated video record button makes it easy to start shooting videos, and high quality sound is recorded with the stereo microphone for Dolby� Digital Stereo Creator. Panasonic�s iA mode extends to video recording, with the following features: Optical Image Stabilizer, Face Detection, Intelligent D-range Control and Intelligent Scene Selector.

The Panasonic LUMIX GF2 is artistic not only in form, but also in function, as it provides an array of features that lets users capture true-to-life images while also creating their own expressive, beautiful images. The LUMIX GF2 features My Color mode which is integrated with the conventional Film mode. My Color mode offers a total of eight preset effects � Expressive, Retro, Pure, Elegant, Cinema, Monochrome, Dynamic Art, Silhouette, plus Custom mode, which lets users manually set the color, brightness, saturation and contrast levels. Also, with the Full-time Live View function, users can see how these settings will affect the images before they shoot, which makes it easier to capture the exact effect desired. The LUMIX GF2 has 17 Scene modes, most which can be used during video shooting, too. The exposure meter can be displayed in the P/A/S/M shooting modes for entry-level users to visually learn the correlation between shutter speed and aperture to enhance their photography skills.

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF2, with a quality and solid aluminum body, will be available in black, silver, white, and red models with the following kit options: DMC-GF2C � 14mm F2.5 Lens Kit and DMC-GF2K � 14-42mm Zoom Lens Kit. The LUMIX GF2 will be available in January 2011 and pricing will be announced approximately 30 days prior to shipment. Visit www.panasonic.com for more information.
