To get a better idea on what each of the cameras mentioned offer, why not check out the extended post?

The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G2 is touted to be the world’s first digital interchangeable lens system camera with a movable LCD, letting you enjoy the benefits of touch-control. Just in case you didn’t realize, the naming convention points toward this being the successor to the first Micro Four Thirds camera in the world, the G1. You get intuitive touch-control shooting with the G2, where you are able to adjust auto focus (AF) simply by touching the subject on the large 3″ 460,000-dot high-resolution LCD. Apart from that, the LUMIX G2 is capable of shooting 720p High Definition video using the AVCHD Lite format. Viewing your snapped photos can be done in a jiffy thanks to the touchsceren interface, where you can “flip” through them with a mere flick.

Those who want something more entry level can check out the LUMIX DMC-G10, where it is touted to be the lightest digital interchangeable lens camera with a viewfinder in the world. Despite being slightly cheaper than the G2, it still packs quite a punch in terms of functionality, where you also get 720p HD video recording as well as support for JPEG, QVGA, VGA and WVGA formats. Both the LUMIX G2 and LUMIX G10 will come equipped with the LUMIX G VARIO 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH/MEGA O.I.S. lens to help you get started right out of the box. Not only that, they are compatible with all LUMIX G-Series DSL Micro Four Thirds system lenses just in case you want to up your game sometime down the road.
