Reghardware tested the new Panasonic G2. This is just a test with a pre-production camera so you should expect some improvements until the final release in May/June.

June! According to the review they plan to release this in June!? Not cool.
That’s what I thought as well. Why the long delay. I need a camera now and will probably have to go with the T2i.
It does seem odd to wait so long to release it – they will definitely lose some momentum of interest from people right now.
I think there will be a delay because every review / hands on i’ve read so far has shown that the software is very very glitchy. Which means if they are still working in it now they will need to release it for test, then further revision and test again before being ready for release – and that would mean they reach june.

he frustrating thing is that a lot of people seem to have had a hands on with it – and considering the camera has a touchscreen its hard to find any decent video reviews / hands on from anyone how has used the camera. Youtube has a multitude of clips that are all about 30 seconds long. It’s so bizarre to think people get to handle and use a pre production bit of kit that is quite groundbreaking in its use of touchscreen – and then record themselves doing nothing with it for 30 seconds!!!
this wasn’t a review….
Admin as Joesiv has pointed out this is not a review. This is a preview based on one hour of use on a pre-production demonstration model using 0.20 firmware ……cmon.
A review is an indepth reporting of function and features of a production camera with version 1.0 firmware.
Joesiv and Elf! You are right!!! I modified the title of the post. Thanks!
