LUMIX GF1 'old but still good'

The GF1 although dated in digital terms is still a worthy contender for someone looking for a M43 camera that retailed for £5-600 at its inception but is now available for between £50-80.00 depending on condition.
Build quality is good, alloy construction, not much in the way of plastic and a sense of density inspire confidence.
External controls and buttons are located around the camera exterior and reduce the necessity for altering functions via the menus to a minimum.
Image quality is very good up to ISO 400 but the sensitivity and dynamic range is not as good as the newer M43 models, however stick to reasonable light and consider the exposure values and the GF1 will produce some great images from its 12mp sensor .
Battery life is good although considering the age of the camera prospective buyers should perhaps vector in the price of an aftermarket replacement.
In conclusion,the GF1 is a bit of a bargain, and still very useable even in 2017, handling is good, picture quality is great (especially when using one of the more modern RAW converters). If you don't want to be spend a fortune on a digital camera, but you do want a proper interchangeable lens M43 camera , the GF 1 is well worthy of your consideration.

GF1

Really excellent camera - has been 'upgraded' a few times but this original (& best) model is still very much a favorite & fantastic value now. The general handling & feel is still unsurpassed & gives superb results.Read full review

Not the latest spec but an all-time classic

If you don't need 20 million+ tiny pixels and 5-axis gyro stabilisation then the GF1 is an all-time classic photographic tool with great handling. Pop a bright prime on it and you can go anywhere and get great results.Read full review
