Panasonic has officially announced the two new Micro Four Thirds cameras that we told you about last week, the Panasonic G2 and G10.
Both the G2 and the G10 feature a 12.1 megapixel sensor, a three inch LCD screen and both are capable of recording HD video in 720p, and will come with a 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 lens.
Key Features and Differences
The main difference between the two models is that the Panasonic G2 features an LCD screen that can fold out and twist. The screen can move 180 degrees side to side and 270 degrees up and down, making it highly versatile for various shooting angles and styles. This feature is particularly useful for vloggers and photographers who need to shoot from unconventional angles or take selfies.
On the other hand, the Panasonic G10 is designed with the beginner in mind. It offers a more straightforward, user-friendly interface that makes it easier for novice photographers to get started. Despite being aimed at beginners, the G10 still packs a punch with its 12.1 megapixel sensor and HD video recording capabilities.
Advanced Features for Enthusiasts
The Panasonic G2 is designed to be used by the more accomplished photographer. It includes advanced features such as touch-screen controls, which allow for quick adjustments to settings like focus and exposure. The touch-screen interface also makes it easier to navigate through menus and review photos. Additionally, the G2 offers a variety of shooting modes and creative filters that can help photographers experiment with different styles and techniques.
Both models come with a 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 lens, which is versatile enough for a range of photography styles, from wide-angle landscapes to close-up portraits. The lens is also equipped with optical image stabilization, which helps to reduce camera shake and produce sharper images.
Another notable feature of both cameras is their ability to record HD video in 720p. This makes them suitable for capturing high-quality video footage, whether you’re documenting a family event or creating content for a YouTube channel. The inclusion of HD video recording adds an extra layer of versatility to these cameras, making them a good choice for both photographers and videographers.
Market Availability and Pricing
There are no details as yet on pricing for either model. However, given the features and specifications, it’s expected that the G2 will be priced higher than the G10 due to its advanced capabilities and additional features. Both models are expected to go on sale sometime later in March 2010, making them a timely addition to Panasonic’s lineup for the spring photography season.
The announcement of these two new models is exciting news for photography enthusiasts and professionals alike. With their combination of advanced features and user-friendly design, the Panasonic G2 and G10 are poised to be popular choices in the Micro Four Thirds camera market.
