Our friend Steve Huff posted a new”Real World” Panasonic G2 review: “Panasonic has won me over with their [shoplink 14834]G2[/shoplink]. The camera is nice to hold, nice to shoot and looks much nicer in person than it does in the photos online.”
Also Clubsnap, Asahicamera and Optyczne.pl did post new Panasonic G2 reviews

‘Tis true, I love my G2 for it’s entire package, don’t care if there’s better (DSLR) out there, or smaller (NEX/GF2) out there. I care for G2’s perfect (For me) footprint, handling, looks and quality (Esp with the 20mm 1.7) still pretty much portable and fully featured (EVF etc).
I don’t find any good in the pictures of that review.
I shoot always JPGs.. I think Olympus is the master of JPGs
Where could we see your work?
Steve always has nice photos in his reviews; because unlike most of the dedicated review sites he is actually a photographer first, and gadget head second. I actually prefer his real world reviews over sites like DPR and their insanely detailed charts, graphs, millisecond timings, 100% crops, etc. All I need to know is how the camera is in actual real world use, and then give me a gallery of examples. I judge IQ based one photos, not on lab tests and 100% gray squares full of noise.
Panasonic should really package the G2 (and especially the GH2) with the 20mm/1.7 instead of the 14-42mm. I have yet to see a single reviewer not complain about that lens. Some complain that it’s just a poor lens all around, and some find it acceptable, but still say it’s not as good as the 14-45mm. It makes sense packaging a cheap lens with the G10 and maybe even the G2…but who is going to want a cheap lens like that on the GH2?
100% in agreement
True, since I bought the pancake I’ve never refitted the kit lens (and only used it for a week). It does the job but it’s nothing special, the 20mm 1.7 improves any m4/3 cam 🙂
