Panasonic G3 Camera to Release in June

 It’s a micro 4/3 interchangeable lens camera, and boasts the title of the world’s smallest and lightest in that category. But don’t jump to conclusion and think that a ton of features have been sacrificed to achieve this title. The G3 is a fully featured camera.

Behind the lens is a 16 megapixel sensor that can also capture full HD video. The viewfinder allows you to take shots in direct sunlight, while the 3-inch touchscreen is fully articulating (rotates 180° to the side and tilts 270° up) letting you to frame and shoot from almost any angle. Focusing on objects, much like the iPhone, just requires a tap of the screen and the lens will hone in on the subject. Panasonic says that the G3 is also the fastest pinpoint auto focus camera in its class. There is of course auto scene mode, a built-in flash, and HDMI and USB 2.0 interfaces.


Panasonic is even dishing a 3D compatible lens, though it will cost you. The aluminum G3 will be available this June in black, red, white or brown with a 14-42mm zoom lens kit for $699.99.
