New Panasonic GX1

Panasonic have released a new micro four thirds camera the GX1.  This camera is an improvement on my favourite little camera the GF1.  I had felt the GF series had been cheapening itself with touch screen and then the removal of the hotshoe on the GF3, but the with the arrival of the GX1 that makes sense - a two teired lined up.

On first glance the GX1 doesn't look as pretty as the GF1 but that is just an aesthetic quality - if it was YELLOW i might change my mind.  The build quality looks to be as good as the GF1 so i might see if i can get my hands on one and test it.

They have also introduced new lenses LUMIX G X H-PS14042 lens and the LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 45-175mm.    The LUMIX G X 14-42mm is a pancake zoom lens, which is superb.
