Despite the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 being an updated version of the G2, Panasonic has stated that, at least for now, it won’t replace the older camera in its line-up.
Instead, the G10 has been discontinued, and the G2, for now, will be Panasonic’s entry-level camera.
Despite the G2 having only a 12-million-pixel sensor and a slower AF system, it has many of the G3’s other features and should now be seen as something of a bargain. At around £430 including kit lens, the G2 is £190 cheaper than the G3.
However, those who like the DSLR style but would prefer a larger APS-C sensor should take a look at the Samsung NX11.
This camera has a 14-million-pixel APS-C-size sensor and can be found for around £510 including 18-55mm kit lens.
