No EVF port, No flash hotshoe, No rear click dial, Smaller body size makes hand-held use of larger zoom lenses awkward, Mono microphone (instead of stereo) for video recording, Positioning of pop-up flash is more susceptible to producing red-eye and lens-barrel shadow, Some lenses (including 14-140mm and 20mm f/1.7) extend below camera base, fouling tripod plate, No flash exposure compensation,
The GF3 is a satisfying camera to use that is small and light enough to carry around all day. Its 12MP Micro Four Thirds sensor, though showing its age, is capable of producing lovely images that will be a revelation to users migrating from compact se...

This camera takes fine photos and is an entry into the evergrowing Panasonic/Olympus micro four thirds system. Auto focus is lightning fast and the touch screen, now spreading across all the Panasonic models, is the very best of its type.
The lack of accessible controls on the body will be disturbing for enthusiasts and traditionalists. However the touch screen does give instant access to the most frequently used controls
The GF3 is around $300 more expensive than the Olympus E-PM1 and it is hard to see what the extra money buys. The Olympus has an external socket for accessories such as an EVF and stereo microphone. It has a hot shoe and comes with an external flash in th...

Compact and light with 14mm lens attached. Good image quality, very similar to the GF2. Snappy performance
No accessory port/viewfinder option. Touchscreen can take a couple of attempts to press. Screen is still relatively low resolution
The GF3 is a fun little addition to the Panasonic G series range. As a first step into the world of interchangeable lens cameras, it does a decent job of bridging the gap between compact and SLR. ...
Abstract: Looking at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 (SRT $799), the new 12.1 megapixel ILC, one could easily confuse it for a regular point and shoot camera. It is, after all, the smallest and lightest ILC camera in the market today.We shot some photos of the GF3 next...
The new Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3W is a pretty decent camera, with good specifications and features. At the end of this test we consider that this camera a good choice if you want to buy a Micro Four Thirds model....
Solid metal build; easy to use; responsive touch screen and AF; Creative Control modes including the punchy Expressive
Pricey compared to a fixed-lens compact like Panasonic’s LX5 (£458.99); mono sound; no hotshoe and accessory port
Otherwise, a full-size JPEG is saved in two to three seconds; shoot a maximum-quality Raw file alongside and wait a further second before the screen snaps back to live view. We particularly enjoyed the Expressive shooting mode, which boosts JPEG colour sa...

Extremely rewarding to use, but noise levels in low light aren't up to today's standards...
