Steps from GF1 enthusiastic friends with, simply GF2 focused more beginner-is a disappointment for those fans, but makes plenty of sense in terms of broadening the appeal of Micro Four Thirds system. And, in light of Sony NEX-C3, it’s pretty obvious the Panasonic is not alone in this line of thinking. With GF3, Panasonic continues to court a mass market, with a camera that furthers the trend of simplification and new user-friendly. This refresh gently from GF2 but one of the features even more and the controls (as well as size and weight) have been removed. It’s still a 12MP camera but the addition of three core processors latest Venus Engine FHD provide impressive speed of the G3 and GH2 brother. Building a simple touchscreen design GF2, GF3 lost the back of Panasonic’s signature dial clicks, instead of making do with dial-style compact camera throughout the four-way controller. This and the loss of both flash hot shoe and accessory ports behind Panasonic underlines the determination to keep things small, simple, non-threatening and expensive.

I have been doing photography for 8 years now, albeit in a sporadic way. I am considered to have promise and be a good photographer by those who have seen my work. I would like, in time, to make money from this.

I had a Nikon D200 before, but sold it off with the lenses, as it was too heavy for me to carry around daily.

I like the Olympus, but have heard it has an inferior chip, plus it is an entry level dslr which kind of puts me off.

I love Nikon’s build quality, but the D80 is still a fairly heavy camera.

The Canon felt good in my hands, the same as the Olympus, but I hate the plasticky feel of it.

Any recommendations?
I do a lot of portrait and nature photography.
