Capture Holiday Memories with Panasonic LUMIX Cameras

I am my family’s photographer. It’s a role that I take quite seriously because I, more than anyone else, enjoy reviewing the photos that capture our lives together. I’m the one who downloads them onto the computer, spends time editing, selecting favourites for screensavers, prints, photobooks, and gifts.

I take pride in my role and in my skills. I’ve taken photography courses, done extensive research before buying any camera, carry cameras with me wherever we go, and am quick to pull them out and chronicle our days photographically. But I’m always looking to improve my skills, my tools and my end results.

So, when I was asked to review the new Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF3X camera, I jumped at the opportunity. I’ve spent the last week playing with this beautiful camera and I’m absolutely thrilled with it.

This compact system camera is a hybrid of the advanced technology of a DSLR interchangeable lens camera and the simple, compact point-and-shoot style. The interface is fully operable by touch screen, and almost all functions can be controlled using the intuitive button/wheel design as well. It’s a camera that can grow with me, because I can purchase other lenses as you need them, but it’s almost as small as my iPhone, so I can toss it in my purse and take it with me everywhere.

It also has a very cool intuitively touch screen LCD control that is useful not only in reviewing the photos I’ve taken, but also in adjusting the settings for the photos I want to take.
