Panasonic G3 MFT with touch AF and EVF, capable early mirrorless with stabilised zoom at budget pricing.
The Panasonic Lumix G3 with 14-42mm O.I.S. is an early MFT mirrorless kit from 2011 featuring a 16-megapixel sensor, touch AF, and a built-in electronic viewfinder. The G3 improved significantly over earlier Panasonic MFT bodies with faster AF and the touch-enabled screen.
The 14-42mm stabilised zoom covers 28-84mm equivalent for everyday shooting, and the G3's touchscreen AF enabled tap-to-focus operation that was advanced for 2011. The built-in EVF provides eye-level composition, and the articulating screen enables creative angles.
Build quality is compact Panasonic with quality construction and the integrated EVF that distinguishes it from screen-only alternatives. The MFT mount provides access to the growing Panasonic and Olympus lens ecosystem.
The G3 kit offers capable MFT mirrorless with EVF and touch AF at very affordable used pricing. The 16MP sensor, stabilised zoom, and modern features provide genuine capability above the earliest MFT cameras.
