By using a four thirds sensor and not having a reflex mirror, Panasonic&#13;<br \/>\nLumix G-series cameras can be smaller and lighter than their DSLR counterparts&#13;<br \/>\nwhile still retaining excellent image quality.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Not only are the cameras themselves smaller, but the lenses&#13;<br \/>\nare, too. There are currently 17 lenses in the G-system line-up, as well as&#13;<br \/>\nfour conversion lenses for macro, wideangle, telephoto and fisheye shooting.&#13;<br \/>\nThe G system comprises a comprehensive range of standard and zoom lenses, plus&#13;<br \/>\nspecialist lenses, such as the Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f\/2.8 Asph\/Mega OIS&#13;<br \/>\nlens, Lumix G 8mm f\/3.5 fisheye and the Lumix G 12.5mm f\/12, which is the&#13;<br \/>\nworld&#8217;s first 3D lens. Panasonic also has a range of premium X lenses, which&#13;<br \/>\nfeature wide maximum apertures and efficient focusing systems that enhance the already&#13;<br \/>\nfast AF of all the Lumix G cameras.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The Lumix G series offers a number of models for a wide&#13;<br \/>\nrange of photographers. At the top is the GH3, with a 16.05-million-pixel&#13;<br \/>\nsensor, maximum sensitivity of ISO 25,600 and full HD with up to an impressive&#13;<br \/>\n72Mbps bit rate. Those wanting the flexibility of a DSLR but in smaller body&#13;<br \/>\nwill be suited to the Lumix DMC-G5, which also has a 16.05-million-pixel&#13;<br \/>\nsensor, plus 920,000-dot LCD touchscreen and a 1.44-million-dot electronic&#13;<br \/>\nviewfinder. Finally, the Lumix DMC-GX1 and Lumix DMC-GF5 are slim and compact,&#13;<br \/>\nmaking them great travel companions to keep with you at all times.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2013\/12\/APOY_Feb_Ray_Milsted.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/img><em>Photo by Ray Milsted<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to enter APOY 2013 by email<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Image size<\/strong><br \/>\nYour image must be at least 2,700 (3,000 maximum) pixels along its longest dimension, to be printed in the magazine.
