Panasonic Lumix G3 Camera

Panasonic Lumix G3 Camera

The Panasonic Lumix G3 is a compact system camera (CSC) built following the Micro Four Thirds standard. This means that while the Panasonic G3 can accept interchangeable lenses with the Micro Four Thirds mount, it doesn’t have a reflex mirror so the light that passes through the lens cannot be directed to an optical viewfinder.
