Helpful consumer’s review
I have been a keen photographer for the past 40 or more years and used to carry around with me a massive bag of SLRs and lenses which very often I could not be bothered to lug around and so missed many a good photo. Since digital came in I have been avoiding the big name DSLRs because I knew the same problem would arise. All of the conventional DSLR are pretty bulky and even more so if you include their lenses. So I have been using compact and ‘bridge’ type digital cameras for the past few years which are easy to carry around. Unfortunately they also have small sensors so the image quality is not so good when enlarged. All that changed when the G1 came out. This is what I had been waiting for i.e. a DSLR size sensor with interchangeable lenses but without the massive bulk. I have now had this camera for 3 months and am most delighted with it. The image quality is fantastic and advanced features such as the flip out screen, the image stabilisation and many others make it great fun to play with and tweak. The lens quality is excellent as tested by the dpreview site, they show that it is as good or better than similar entry kit lenses from Canon. At present there is a shortage of lens options (although you can use the range for the Olympus DSLRs) but more are coming out in the next month or so. The size and weight saving goes for the lenses as well as the body so if you compare e.g. a Canon, Sony or Nikon DSLR kit each with a couple of lenses you would be looking at a considerable weight and bulk saving.
