Panasonic unveils its "stylish" Lumix GX1

looks nice...

Looks a lot like the old Panasonic LC1/L1 cross-bred with a GF1, which isn't a bad thing.

Lenses

Whilst the camera is great, what is also required from one or other of the micro 4/3rds stables is a range of large aperture lenses. The Olympus 45mm f1.8 is tremendous, but more like it are needed.

viewfinder

still looks like they haven't put a real viewfinder in it.

Stylish!

There is only one word to describe that camera "Ugly".

Who do they think that camera will appeal to?

Nice except for that EVF

I've used other Panasonics with great success, especially the GH-2 for video and FT2 for underwater and general survivability.

I question the value of loading a little camera like the GX-1 with a top-heavy EVF though, and would rather have this built-in or not bother.

For looks, I'd take the gunmetal-finish option.

yes, stylish

Paul Reading is contemptuous of the GX1's styling and asks who the camera will appeal to. The short answer is me and many others like me. Of course, I would prefer a built-in VF but the body, like its predecessor has great style. It also happens to take good photos and doesn't break your shoulder lugging it around.
