Our Verdict
For the majority of photographers considering buying the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10, the most important fact is that it is capable of recording the same level of detail as the other cameras in the Panasonic range. The company has not compromised in this area. The cost savings have been made at the expense of a few handling refinements, which may be of no consequence to some prospective users.
During this test I found that the lower-resolution EVF was not the issue I thought it might be. However, I really missed the eye sensor and articulated screen of the G2. The sensors make swapping between using the EVF and the main LCD screen seamless, and enable me to shoot using the EVF and make menu based adjustments without having to remember to press the EVF/LCD button.
Although the G10 has proved itself a very capable camera, if I were looking to buy a G-series model I would save a little longer to buy the G2.
