Panasonic's entry MFT with touchscreen — 16.1MP with vari-angle LCD and 1080p video.
The Panasonic Lumix G3 launched in 2011 as a compact entry MFT camera with 16.1MP sensor and vari-angle touchscreen. It bridged the gap between the ultra-compact GF series and the larger G-series, offering EVF and touchscreen in a small body.
The 16.1MP Live MOS sensor delivers decent MFT quality for 2011. Contrast-detect AF with touch AF on the touchscreen. Full HD 1080i video. 4fps burst. The G3 was one of the smaller EVF-equipped MFT cameras of its era.
Compact body at 336g with built-in EVF and vari-angle touchscreen. 3-inch vari-angle LCD — innovative for MFT. Built-in flash. WiFi not included. Micro Four Thirds mount. Single SD card slot.
Available used very cheaply. The G5, G6, and G7 improved significantly — the G7 added 4K video. The vari-angle touchscreen was ahead of its time. Any modern MFT camera is dramatically better. Historical interest and ultra-budget MFT body use only.
