The Panasonic GX1 is expect to be officially unveiled next week as a more advanced sibling to the Panasonic GF3; however, it appears that several images of the new Micro Four Thirds camera have made their way onto the Internet.
Rumored specs for the new GX1 include a 12MP Micro Four Thirds Sensor, ultra-fast AF, and high sensitivity up to ISO 12800.

Alas! No eye-level view-finder. Among mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras, that’s what separates the men from the boys. Sony’s NEX7 in APS-C is around the corner.
Another viewfinder-less point-n-shoot from Panasonic.
They started with an innovative product, the G1. They could have built from there, and developed a serious and important system. Instead, each new product has moved toward the lowest common denominator.
Soon, they’ll just be the second best Olympus clone, and they still won’t understand why their cameras aren’t selling.
