A mix of lightweight, compact design and decent image quality is therefore a balance that camera manufacturers are keen to get right, and it seems that Panasonic has made good progress towards achieving this. The company's new Lumix DMC-GM1 is a tiny micro four thirds compact system camera with impressive specifications. Essentially, it is the redesigned inner workings of Panasonic's top-end Lumix DMC-GX7 in a body that fits in the palm of your hand.</p><p>The company has identified its target market as 22 to 40-year-old young (and not-so-young) professionals - the kind of people who want a camera they can keep with them all the time to photograph their lifestyle and the things that happen around them. Equally as important is image quality and the ability to share these images on social media. With a 16-million-pixel sensor, interchangeable lenses and comprehensive Wi-Fi functionality, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1 fulfils the criteria exceptionally well.Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1 - Features</p><p>Inside the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM1 is a four thirds Live MOS sensor with a resolution of 16 million pixels. This sensor has dimensions of 17.3x13mm, which is bigger than the 1in sensor found inside the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II compact camera, but smaller than the more common APS-C-sized sensor. The GM1 can record images in both JPEG and raw file formats and these images are processed by Panasonic's own Venus Engine.</p><p><a href="http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/reviews/compactsystemcameras/129448/1/panasonic-lumix-dmc-gm1-review-preview">Keep reading...</a></p>
