I was obsessed about the Panasonic Lumix G1 for months. I’ve never considered getting a dslr before because of the weight until I saw this gorgeous, red, petite dslr that’s not a dslr. But that’s a long story. So I finally gave in and ordered it from B&H photo. Ariel brought it home for me from San Francisco.
I’m bringing this camera on my trip to Perth, Margaret River and Singapore. I hope I get used to it by then. The pictures below were taken with my Panasonic LX3.

The first thing I bought was this Optech classic camera strap from Vet Specialists, Inc. the local distributor of Optech and Lowepro. When I use this strap the weight of the camera disappears. It’s made of neoprene and is really comfortable to use.

I wanted a very light case for my camera. I didn’t want a separate camera bag. So I ordered this neoprene Zing standard case. It looks funny but it suits my purpose. It’s also reversible to all black.
Zing standard case US$17.95
Here’s a comparison in size between the LX3 and the G1. This was taken with my Fuji f100fd camera. No manual white balance.

Hi Ms. Leslie. Just want to ask if Lumix G1 is a good buy. Is this better than your LX3? Is night shooting using G1 ok? I have an LX5 and night shooting is not that good. I want to upgrade sana.

Yes it’s definitely better than the LX series because the sensor is much bigger and you can change lenses. For night shooting I always use my Panasonic 20mm lens F1.7 which is excellent. The lens is just expensive. It actually costs more than the LX5.
