You’ve already seen what great videos the Panasonic GF2 can do. Now check out its quality on normal photographs. To see the full sized photos, go to my Flickr gallery.
The GF2 is a 12 Megapixel Micro Four-Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera. It’s basically a DSLR in a compact sized camera. With the 14mm f/2.5 lens, the GF2 is small enough to easily fit into a jacket pocket or purse. Size is very important to me since I’ve found that the bigger the camera, the more it stays home. What good is a product if you don’t use it? I take the GF2 with me everywhere and it’s always available to take that spontaneous photo or video.
The image quality of the GF2 shocks me every time I use it. People can’t believe this level of quality can be achieved with a compact digital camera. The 14mm f/2.5 wide angle lens is very good for taking low light shots and has a depth of field which allows me to blur the background or foreground and focus on the main object. Focusing is done with the 3″ touch display – just tap what I want to focus on and the camera does the rest. I can also take pictures by tapping on the screen.
The only downside is the price. The GF2 with the 14mm lens sells for $699 at Amazon.com. That’s not inexpensive by any means. However, for the blogger looking for the ultimate in quality and compactness, you won’t find a better digital camera than this one.
