Panasonic's early DSLR-style MFT — 12.1MP with articulating touchscreen and Live View AF.
The Panasonic Lumix G2 was released approximately 2009 as an early Micro Four Thirds camera in Panasonic's G series, featuring a 12.1MP sensor and a vari-angle articulating LCD. One of the first MFT cameras to include a fully articulating touchscreen. MFT mount.
12.1MP Micro Four Thirds sensor. Articulating touchscreen LCD. 720p video recording. Live MOS sensor. At approximately 385g with battery. Micro Four Thirds mount.
The G2 was notable among early MFT cameras for its articulating touchscreen LCD, enabling live-view compositing from non-standard angles. As a 2009 design, video quality is limited by current standards and the sensor lacks on-sensor phase-detect AF. The MFT ecosystem at this date was growing but smaller than today's range.
On the used market the Panasonic Lumix G2 is a vintage MFT camera of limited practical current use. Condition checks: articulating LCD hinge durability, touchscreen function, shutter actuation count, MFT mount contacts. Fully compatible with current MFT lenses.
