Panasonic Lumix GX1 hands-on review

Panasonic Lumix GX1 – LCD touchscreen

The 3in touchscreen on the Lumix GX1 is relatively responsive, with touch auto focus, but unless you've been taking snaps solely on your smartphone until now, you might feel more comfortable adjusting settings with the accessible, manual controls.

Anyone stepping up from a compact might be a bit overwhelmed with the buttons so for that reason, Panasonic has added a beginner Intelligent Auto Plus mode to get you started. And the GX1's large LCD screen is useful for playing back your 16MP stills and HD video.
