Product Tour
The Panasonic GF1is available in two different kit configurations, both at the same $899.95 price. The more unusual choice comes with a 20mm pancake lens. As the name implies, a pancake lens is nice and flat, a perfect portability combination with the slender GF1. Even more interesting, the 20mm lens (equivalent to a 40mm in 35mm photography) is very fast, at f/1.7, allowing flash-free photography in low light conditions at higher shutter speeds. For test purposes, though, we stuck with the more by-the-book kit, pairing the GF1 body with a 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom. It’s also worth noting that the 20mm lens is not image-stabilized, and doesn’t support continuous autofocus.
