The Lumix GX1 is Panasonic's fourth 'pocketable' camera to employ the Micro Four Thirds standard, but rather than replace an existing model, it represents a new category in the Lumix G series, aimed at enthusiasts. Externally the GX1 resembles the original GF1, with its chunky body, flash hotshoe and mode dial, but the body is much tougher, features a touch-screen display, supports UHS-I memory cards and a new electronic viewfinder, films Full HD video, and crucially employs the 16 Megapixel sensor from the Lumix G3.
