The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 follows in the footsteps of last yearWednesday, June 15, 2011

Panasonic and digiDIRECT is pleased to introduce a new addition to the LUMIX G Series of Compact Systems Cameras, the LUMIX DMC-G3, one of the company’s smallest and lightest digital interchangeable lens camera with a viewfinder to date!

The Panasonic LUMIX G3 introduces a lighter weight and smaller size not seen in traditional DSLRs, thus providing greater portability and creative control. The LUMIX G3 features a new 16.0-megapixel sensor that produces rich, true-to-life, high quality images, plus 1920 x 1080 full-High Definition (HD) video recording capability with stereo sound in AVCHD. The Panasonic LUMIX G3 is the ideal hybrid camera, offering superb still and video capabilities with easy-to-use features so users at any level can create professional-quality images.

With the LUMIX G3, Panasonic boffins have created an extremely light compact system camera that is easy to use, thanks to a touch-control LCD, yet still maintains powerful and creative features to cater the more advanced photographer Also, with new features that enhance photo and video quality, the LUMIX G3 offers exceptional image quality that a photographer at any level would be excited about using to capture their experiences.

For added ease of use, the LUMIX G3 features Panasonic’s iA*2 and new iA Plus modes, which are enabled automatically once the iA button is pressed. Panasonic’s iA features, such as Intelligent Resolution, MEGA O.I.S. (included in several lenses), Intelligent ISO Control, and Intelligent Scene Selector are available when shooting still images. As most photographers are aware, the LUMIX G3 utilizes the Micro Four Thirds System mount, offering greater size and weight reduction in the lens without compromising performance and clarity.

An innovative 14-140mm HD G Vario lens provides the best of video and still-image shooting with a long 10x range and near silent high-speed focusing. When connected to the LUMIX G3, ultra-fast focusing and auto subject track AF can be achieved. Many LUMIX MFT lenses come with MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) built-in. This feature helps prevent blurring from shaky hands. Working together with this is the camera’s intelligent ISO Control, which reduces motions blur by adjusting the ISO sensitivity if the subject moves, helping to ensure sharp images.

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G3, made of aluminum, will start at a retail price of $723.00 for the body.
