Compatible with Micro Four Thirds standard, the LUMIX G Micro System with machine combines a compact body and progressed features that enable you to achieve magnificent performance and greatest or most complete or best possible ease for the duration of use. Not to mention that this camera, mounted once the target H-FT012 is competent of aweinspiring shots in 3D.

Featuring an intuitive touch-control system, the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 has the quickest autofocus in the world (Light Speed AF): just 0.1 seconds to put a subject in sharp focus. Key constituents such as sensor and effigy processor, have been totally revised to achieve even more outstanding performance and stunning images for solution and color rendition. The end result is GH2-DMC, the flagship of the LUMIX G Micro System.

For a hybrid digital camera recording the video is no longer a simple further and added function, but an integral element that allows you to choose whether to shoot or film depending on the circumstance and subject. In this respect DMC-GH2 is modern and allows you to make movies of the most eminent quality Full HD 1920×1080/50i (PAL), with powerful output 50p. The video made with the 24p movie – similar to the films you see at the cinema – with a greatest or most complete or best possible bit rate of 24 Mbps, formulate higher quality images with an expressive effect after image. Not only that, along with the Cinema mode – new option added to the already well-known movie mode – 24p movie allows video to have a higher alcohol content, similar to that of the films seen at the cinema. The new Variable Movie mode allows video recording with variable frame rates to formulate basi effects of decelerating down or speeding up. By enabling the new EX Tele Conversion function, you may almost extend the zoom – for both photo and video – over the primary limit, to approach the subject more. The HDMI output allows you to see on a screen in real time the images you are seeing: a function that may be utile in the professional world.

High performance, progressed technologies and innovative components: the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 HD hybrid offers a world of originative chances to those wishing to explore the possiblenesses of photography and video shooting.

The intuitive touch-control, already available in the DMC-G2 and cherished for it is outstanding comfort, is likewise included in the Panasonic DMC-GH2: This system allows you to take and set the parameters by directly touching the display. This is a clever free-angle LCD, which joins the new Multi Aspect Wide Screen viewfinder LVF (Live View Finder): The Lumix DMC-GH2 with the photographer has all the tools to be capable to focus only on the shoot. Another vantage of this model and all the LUMIX G Micro System is the neverending increase in the number of compatible interchangeable lenses at the time are 11, including the brand new LUMIX G 14mm / F2.5 ASPH (H-H014) to focus fixed, the LUMIX G VARIO telephoto 100-300mm / F4.0-5.6 / MEGA OIS (H-FS100300), and the goal to be attained 3D LUMIX G 12.5mm / F12 (H-FT012). With this goal 3D, the original interchangeable in the world for a digital camera, you may not only see the images in 3D, but likewise achieve them in person.

The highly acclaimed My Color Mode and Movie Mode (Cinema, which includes the new option) concede you to be at his best when he realizes that when shooting movies. The iA (Intelligent Auto) is perpetually evolving and, in the DMC-GH2, including the D-range Intelligent Control. Intelligent Resolution presents the new “Extended” for a more natural of the big prints.

Panasonics LUMIX DMC-G3 offers the gains of a DSLR interchangeable lens system camera with a point-and-shoot camera’s compactness, light weight and simplicity. This reduction in size and weight is thanks to advancements in mirror-free viewfinder technology, and big DSLR format sensors that are more compatible with a new class of compact Micro Four Thirds (MFT) System lenses. This new class of Compact System Cameras (CSC) offers a weight and compactness not seen in conventional DSLRs, for more outstanding portability and originative control. The DMC-G3 provides a established DSLR-like experience with an external Mode dial for quick access to mutual modes like Program, Shutter and Aperture Priority, Manual. Additional dial settings include two Custom Modes, Scene Modes and the new Creative Control Mode. The DMC-G3 provides a devoted video button that may be used to switch to video capture speedily without altering modes. Like most DSLRs, the DMC-G3 provides a built-in flash and hotshoe for connecting optional LUMIX flashes. The LUMIX G MFT System offers a selection of 11 high performance fixed focal length and variable aperture G Vario zooms, including a highly versatile 3D lens competent of capturing both 2D and 3D images at the same time. There are lens adaptors available for mounting older Leica M and Leica R lenses, including older LUMIX full Four Thirds lenses. An innovative 14-140mm HD G Vario lens provides the best of video and still-image shooting with a long 10x range and near silent high-speed focusing.

Panasonic’s LUMIX DMC-G3 offers the gains of a DSLR interchangeable lens scheme camera with a point-and-shoot camera’s compactness, light weight and simplicity. This reduction in size and weight is thanks to advancements in mirror-free viewfinder technology, and big DSLR format sensors that are more compatible with a new class of compact Micro Four Thirds (MFT) System lenses. This new class of Compact System Cameras (CSC) offers a weight and compactness not seen in conventional DSLRs, for dandier portability and originative control. The DMC-G3 effigy solution has been upgraded to 16.0-megapixels from it is predecessor, the DMC-G2.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 Highlights

Easily connect the Lumix G3 to your HDTV by way of an optional HDMI mini cable.

Manual control over focus is available in the DMC-G3 and has been mainly bettered over DMC-G2. When exposure is original enabled at 4x by merely touching the subject, that subject is enlarged in a little window permitting you to keep the rest of the effigy in view as a framing reference. Beyond 4x, that little window fills the monitor so even more control over focus fine-tuning may be achieved. This handy feature is available from both the MF Assist (Manual Focus) and AF + MF focus modes.

The DMC-G3 now offers a larger LCD touch focus area vs. the DMC-G2. Now touch focus may be enabled from any share of the effigy as seen on the LCD. Unlike established DSLRs that limit the number and position of focus points, the DMC-G3 uses the entire effigy sensor and may even fine-tune focus with a new fine-tuning Pinpoint AF feature. When Pinpoint AF is enabled, the effigy is enlarged, permitting for pixel-level setting of the focus area desired. Once set, the DMC-G3 will use this fine-tuned focus point to construct a sharp, elaborate image.

More Burst Shooting Options
Rapid burst control at respective rates and resolutions. Capture full-resolution 16-megapixel images at up to 4 frames per second with mechanical shutter enabled, or an even more immediate 20 frames per second using the electronic shutter feature at a scaled down solution of 4- megapixels.

Intelligent Auto and Intelligent Auto Plus (iA, iA+)
The DMC-G3 has progressed functions that will satisfy experienced photographers, yet is easy sufficient for beginners to use comfortably in both photo and video recording modes with iA (Intelligent Auto) Plus. In the new iA Plus mode, the defocusing area, exposure control, and white remainder may be adjusted for scenes where a slight manual adjustment may develop a more desired result.

Color and Effects
Using the new Photo Style Mode, frequent color effects may be achieved. These settings may be further intensified with fine-tuning of Contrast, Sharpness, Saturation and Noise Reduction. Color effects include: Standard, Vivid, Natural, Monochrome, Scenery, Portrait and Custom.

With the new Creative Control Mode, accessed from the Mode dial at the top of the camera, an expressive look to the effigy may be achieved without the need for elaborated post-processing software. Common effects may be achieved by way of the touch-control menu as a pre-setting in an easy-to-understand “what you see is what you get” experience. Effects include: Expressive, Retro, High Key, Sepia, and High Dynamic.

Venus Engine FHD
The new Venus Engine FHD offers vastly bettered compensation for electronic noise under low light and shadows where higher ISOs quintessentially add grain to the image. Circuitry on the new 16-megapixel sensor further reduces low-noise signal difficultnesses at the pixel level and at the amplifier circuit level. As a result, higher ISOs with much lower noise may be achieved. This means more quickly action-stopping shutter speeds in low light, and a greatest or most complete or best possible accomplishable ISO of 6400.

The noise level of the DMC-G3 offer significant reductions in electronic noise vs. prior models. Noise is significantly suppressed by more than 66%. Notably in shooting at high ISO setting, S/N value is bettered by approximately 200% equated with the established 12.1-megapixel sensor. The sensor performance improves by 6db at ISO 3200 and max. 9db at ISO 6400.

The new Venus Engine FHD uses new Intelligent Resolution engineering to sharpen edge detail without softening fine details. In addition to maximizing edge and fine detail, the Venus Engine offers Intelligent D-Range Control. Intelligent D-Range Control enables greatest or most complete or best possible capture of the image’s full range of brightness, without blown-out highlights and mudding shadows.

Finally the True Heir to the GF1. Another winner from Panasonic
By B. Fuller
If you have looked on with dismay as Panasonic abandoned the enthusiast small M4/3 and instead chases a smaller and smaller and dumber and dumber form factor with the GF line, then you now have a reason to be happy. It appears Panasonic is positioning the G3 as the successor to the GF1. They might not know that but that is how I view it. Viewed as a replacement to the G2, the G3 is a bit of a let down. Much the way the GF2 was compared to the GF1. However, the G3 is a great replacement to the GF1. It is a little bigger but not that much. The physical controls are the same but now there is touch screen controls and to make up for many of the missing physical controls there are the C1 and C2 modes on the mode selector. a Before continuing something that very few people seem to understand with these camera systems is the lens, not the camera body, determines how big the camera is. I will use extremes to illustrate the point. Put a 14mm f/2.5 on a GH2 and it seems very small. You can’t put it in a shirt pocket but it will fit inside a jacket pocket. Also, you can get it in a very small carry case. It is so small and light I use a wrist strap and not a neck strap. Put a 100-300mm on a GF3 and it is going to be huge and because of the form factor really unusable.

The first thing to note about the G3 is the price is $699. That is $100 cheaper than the G1 or G2 at launch and $200 cheaper than the GF1. In addition to being $200 cheaper than the GF1, the G3 has a built in EVF (would have been nicer rangefinder style) and a swivel screen.

Another nice change from the G2 and the GF line is the new sensor. Panasonic and Olympus have been using a 3 generation old sensor in every m4/3 line except the GH line. The G3 now has a new 16mp sensor and updated image processing engine. The G3 takes slightly better pictures than the GH2.

As far as IQ goes, the m4/3 are not as good as DX sensors and they never will be as good. The same way as DX sensors will never be as good as FX sensors. All else being equal. With that said, IQ merits some discussion as most people don’t really understand it and most “professional” review sites confuse the whole issue. Here is everything you need to understand on the issue. First every generation of sensors the differences between m4/3, DX, and FX decreases. At some point the difference become negligible. Where that point is depends on what you want to do. IQ is very dependent on the size of what you are going to do with the image. I think for the vast majority of what people are doing, the differences are already negligible. Here are a couple of examples of what I mean. The biggest of computer monitors is right at 3.6mp. Most are around 2mp. That means to view a medium format 40mp image on a (2mp) monitor you are only using 5% of the image data. The rest is getting thrown away. For a 16mp image you are using 12.5% of the data. So that means noise, detail etc is getting thrown away as you deres the image. The same goes with printing. The human eye can see 200-300 dots per inch (A useful piece of information is monitors used to be 72 dpi and are somewhere around 96 dpi. That means if you blow an image up to 100% on your computer screen you are effectively magnifying by 2 to 3. Therefore, the images at 100% on the computer monitor are not going to look as good as on paper) Using 200 dpi, that means you need 2000×1600 pixels to print a decent 8×10. If you do the math that means you need 3.2mp to print an 8×10. (At 300 dpi you would need 7.2mp) That means for a 16mp image you are using 20% of the data. If this fits what you are doing, then any IQ differences are not important for you. As you start printing larger than this, the difference can be noticeable.

Where these m4/3 cameras excel is handling. The GH2 is the king, in my opinion, for handling. The controls are so well laid out it is a breeze to do anything you want quickly. Additionally, the contrast based auto focus is so fast, that live view is exceedingly useable. The swivel screen gives you huge options over a hold up to the eye only or a fixed back screen. You can hold the camera way over your head or way down by your feet and still frame the image.

On top of that is the light weight. It has gotten to the point that I don’t travel with my Nikon D7000 at all. I only keep and use that for portrait/wedding/event type photography (I did however just shoot a wedding with m4/3 only. The 100-300 was my primary lens. It is a little slow but still grabbed some amazing shots). I usually travel with 2 GH series bodies, 5-8 lenses, and an iPad all in a Domke F4 bag. (With my G3 I will now travel with 3 bodies) All of this weighs right around 10 lbs. You could also just carry the 7-14, 14-140, and 100-300 lenses and cover from 14mm to 600mm equivalent with 3 lenses. All of these lenses can be attached to 3 camera bodies and in the F4. You could even add a 4th body and add the 20mm f/1.4. That would still fit in the F4 and weigh in around 10lbs.

I don’t really do that much with video so I am not really going to comment that much on it. However, video on the G3 is far easier and more useable than any DSLR except for the Sony A33/55. Also, there is a built in stereo mic but no external connector. I don’t think the latter is big deal for most people.

Construction on the G3 is very nice. It is the first of panasonic m4/3 which uses aluminum in the construction instead of all plastic.

Handgrip. I am a little disappointed at the loss of the handgrip as it is essentially free. I am still not sure how I feel about the new hand “bump” especially for the bigger lenses. I will have to report on that one later. If you are coming from a GF1 then this is a step up. Since the old handgrip was shorter than the shortest lens, I am not sure what we are really gaining by this. It also means the loss of space for the battery so Panasonic had to use a smaller battery. I believe it is the same as the GF2. The smaller batteries means less pictures so make sure you have a spare. It is rated at 270 shots but a secret with Panasonic m4/3 is to turn your camera off after shooting. Doing that I get around 750-800 shots. I also have the auto review switched off.

For anyone who is new to a more complicated camera, Panasonic has two very cool features to make it a little easier to use. The first is Program shift mode and the newest one, only on the G3 right now, is iAuto+. The program shift mode obsoletes the Aperture priority mode. As you press the button half way down to get the exposer numbers. You can then rotate the thumbwheel to goto a bigger aperture (smaller DOF) or larger aperture (larger DOF). The iAuto+ now allows you to adjust white balance, exposure compensation, and aperture (defocus control). This is a very handy feature and is good for the expert and beginner alike. For the expert you can now stay in iAuto more often when in a fast moving shooting situation. The camera will recognize the scene and make hundreds of changes to make the scene look best as possible. You can now easily change the exposure and work the aperture. For the beginner, you can start in iA. After getting comfortable with that you can now start playing with aperture and exposure (the 2 most important controls in my opinion) while still having the “safety” of iAuto. When you get more comfortable with that then moving to P mode is an easy jump. With program shift there are not many reasons to shift over to A or M mode but when you need to it is there for you.

Auto ISO and iAuto ISO. Auto is based on light level and iAuto is based on light level and movement of subject.

MF Assist The manual focus for m4/3 lenses is fly-by-wire. That means there are no stops. On the first generation G bodies it was horrible. On second generation Panasonic added a scale marker which was really nice. On this generation, Panasonic added picture in picture for manual focus assist. This is a really nice feature as I can focus and frame at the same time. The m4/3 allows the use of just about any lens made. However, you lose auto focus. So for those with old film lenses there is probably an adaptor that can allow it to fit on the m4/3. For that purpose and when auto focus has trouble the new manual focus assist is very nice.

I mentioned before the loss of physical controls on the camera. For enthusiast this is a step backwards. For newbies this is probably a good thing. The touch screen implementation is very nice but I am still not convinced I like it better than physical controls. However, for enthusiast the loss of these controls is partially made up for with the C1 and C2 modes. Now before you get into the fray, you can set the camera up for 2 custom modes and then just switch between the modes. Therefore, you don’t need to do as much fiddling. Also, Q menu and Display buttons are now programmable functions buttons. Therefore, if there is some function you use a lot and can’t get to easily, now you can put it on one of these buttons. Panasonic’s menus aren’t that great. So I recommend leaving the Q menu button as is. It relieves a ton of scrolling through menus. I rarely ever use the Display button, I think the most I use it is when I am trying to go back to the display I want after it was accidentally touched.

A big loss is the auto switch between EVF and screen. On the previous Gs and GHs, there was a sensor to determine if your eye was up to the EVF. If so it switched off the back screen and switched on the EVF. Now you will have to use the button to switch. Bad move from my perspective. However, if you are coming from a GF1 or P+S, the fact that it has an EVF is a big plus.

Overall, this camera has amazing capabilities in a small light and easily accessible package. The handling on these cameras is amazing and the camera gets out of the way to let you do what you want to do. This camera has so many capabilities there is no way to review them all in one of these reviews. If you have any specific questions, please ask in a comment and I will get back with you as soon as possible.

I have the Red version. My wife says with the RED version of the G3 you can’t help but smile when you see it. So I am hoping for some great pictures.

Pros
Amazing handling – Not as good as GH2 but almost – For me GH2 is best in the business for handling
Small- Not pocketable but then again neither is the G12, LX5, OZ1, or P7000 and this camera spanks all of the above mentioned cameras for IQ and features.
Light
Nice construction – Some aluminum
Nice new feature set (focus assist, iAuto+, C1+2, F1+2, etc)
Nice new sensor
Best high ISO of any m4/3 so far – ISO 1600 JPGs good and ISO 3200 usable for on screen
Very good GF1 replacement

Cons
Disappointing G2 replacement – Panasonic still has yet to make a high end enthusiast/pro stills focused camera.
Same mediocre shutter specs – 1/4000 and 1/160 or worse flash sync
No electronic shutter
IQ not as good as DX or better (However, better than my 3 year old DX Nikon D300)
Smaller battery due to loss of grip
No social networking features

Buying Considerations

Someone Stepping Up to a “DSLR” category camera
Of the Panasonic m4/3 this is a great one to start with. Lots of features but accessible. The only other m4/3 I would currently consider is either of the GH cameras. (GH1 is $399 for body only). Olympus still has 3 generation old sensor and molasses slow focus. (From what I have seen, Olympus is about to announce a new PEN camera that uses a new 12mp (I am glad they are stopping at 12 as that is more than enough) and new lenses that feature blazing fast autofocus (faster than the G3). If it pans out it could be the new camera to own. Of note, Olympus made the Pro lenses for the 4/5 cameras and they were great. They are bringing out a 12mm f/2.8 for $800. So this is going to be for enthusiast or pros.)

Someone who already Owns a M4/3
For the G1 and GH1 this is a very good trade up. Skipping each generation is actually a good technique. The G2 was a huge disappointment for me so this even makes sense as an upgrade over the G2 since that camera had the same sensor as the G1. None of the Olympus has an EVF built in or a swivel screen. They do have better IQ generally and internal image stabilization. The autofocus is also really slow. To me the handling and auto focus speed trump the other considerations so I think the Panasonic is better. Others prefer the cache of the PEN. If it is form over function, then stick with PEN otherwise G3. Do take note of what I wrote above about new PEN.

Someone who owns a DSLR and is tired of lugging the weight and wants a portable high quality camera.
This is a great choice. The price is only $200 more than the advanced compact cameras. None of them can approach the G3 for what it can do. It is not pocketable but neither are they. A G3 with the 14mm, 25mm, and 45mm primes makes for a very lightweight and portable system that can cover just about any situation.

Never thought I would switch to Panasonic, but here we go …
By G Smart
Though I owned a pretty good Panasonic video camera in the past, Panasonic’s name never associated in my mind with quality photo cameras, but I’m happy I’ve been proven wrong. I did quite serious research in various DSLRs, 4/3rds, mirror-less APS-C cameras, and ended up choosing G3. It’s not the best camera in the world, every camera has its own trade-offs, it’s just the most satisfactory camera for my needs for the money I was willing to spend. Your mileage may vary.

First of all, I would recommend to anybody considering buying this (or any other) camera do three things:
– Read professional reviews on dpreview dot com, it’s important to see the objective tests and read professional opinion. But don’t make final decision based on professional reviews. What reviewers achieved in controlled environment, putting their best efforts, may not be representative of what you get. In fact most cameras look in reviews much better than in reality.
– Check the average Joe the photographer pictures on pbase, flickr, etc. See how punishing or forgiving the camera is, compare to other cameras. I find the pictures of water especially revealing. Does the water look dark, muddy, blotchy with visible noise, or pleasantly smooth, even oily? I found many G3 water images very pleasing. It’s possible for a camera to produce outstanding results in controlled environment and yet fare much poorer in casual use.
– If possible, handle the camera in the store. See whether you like the weight and size, how soft/hard the release button is, whether you like the viewfinder, are dials/buttons readable, how quickly it focuses, etc. When I was trying to decide between Panasonic DMC-G3 and Sony NEX-5N, I found the first was a lot more comfortable in my hands, and I immediately noticed that Sony was hunting trying to focus in low light situation, while Panasonic locked focus quickly and silently. The small stuff like that may make a superb otherwise camera a source of annoyance, so try it before buying.

I don’t want to repeat technical reviews, which you can easily find on the web, rather mention pros and cons of this camera in my subjective opinion.

Pros:
* Perfect size and weight. This camera feels very comfortable in my hands and is easy to carry around. I have a Canon DSLR also and find it too heavy, too cumbersome to carry, especially with large lenses.
Most pictures require little or no post-processing in normal settings. Colors are pleasing, well saturated, contrast is perfect, default sharpening is just right. Jpeg images are acceptable for web use, raw images look much better in print, especially when shooting landscapes. Though I think the colors are close to reality, I wouldn’t vouch for that and frankly I don’t care. I’m not a forensic photographer, it’s more important to me if the colors are pleasing to look at and bring up memories of the event. So when I hear from Canon DSLR users about their plasticky dull colors that they are very real, I can’t care less if it’s true or not. I know that bringing up pleasing vibrancy in Canon images isn’t easy and often impossible. After using Canon DSLRs for almost ten years I feel a lot happier with Panasonic images.
* Autofocus is very quick and absolutely silent.
* Manual focusing with three mode magnifier works great. Since the picture you see in the viewfinder comes from the sensor, what you see is what you get. No front or back-focusing problems, with any lenses, which is a common problem even with expensive DSLRs. Additionally, auto+manual focusing mode is an absolute gem. I keep camera always in this mode. If you don’t have an opportunity to manually focus, do nothing, camera will focus automatically; if you do want to focus manually, touch the focus ring and camera will assist you.
* I like the fact that flash is built in, and not a flimsy attachment, like in other cameras. It’s quick to charge and always at hand, which is great because you never know when you might need it.
* An electronic viewfinder is also a very good idea, in most cases it’s more convenient than LCD. It’s not as good in low light as optical viewfinder, but it shows more useful information and has additional functionality that optical viewfinders don’t have, like manual focus assist.
* Swiveling touchscreen LCD is also pretty handy. It makes it very easy to shoot from any position. I also like the fact that you can touch the screen to select the focus area and camera starts tracking it.
* Good sensor resolution and more importantly high spatial frequency contrast produces well defined images. Pixel peeping folks should be satisfied. Full-size images look spectacular on large screen monitors. Enlargements are pretty easy too, 11×14 can be viewed from any distance without pixelization or loss of sharpness. I also printed 20×30 and they look sharp from 2 feet or more.
* Video looks very good to me, though I haven’t used it much.
* If you have a Panasonic large-screen TV, then pop the SD card straight from the camera in to TV SD slot and select Viera tools and you can watch videos or slide shows without any additional processing.

Cons:
* Buttons on the right side could have been designed better. I frequently inadvertently press some of them with the thumb.
* Buttons take time to get used to and remember how to set what you want. It’s frustrating to scroll through pages of menus trying to locate stuff.
* Low light, low contrast focusing can be imprecise, but this is a common problem of contrast focusing cameras.
* High ISO pictures aren’t particularly bad, but noise and blurriness become visible even on modestly large prints. It’s not bad for web, but for large prints one should keep ISO under 200.
* Battery is weak, good for only 270 pictures.
* The choice of lenses is not big and they are quite expensive.
* No Photoshop included! Instead you get a Silkypix software. It misses many useful Photoshop features, though it does have the essentials, but it’s also a useability disaster. The program is so backwardly designed, it looks like it was created in 1980′s.

Finally, a few recommendations from personal experience. Shooting in RAW reveals more small detail and more importantly preserves better tonal transitions in landscape photos, so they look a lot better, I would recommend using RAW for those pictures for any size prints. To produce sharp, detailed pictures for large prints, you should keep ISO low, shutter speed shorter than 1/2f – 1/4f, or better yet use a tripod. Test your abilities to hold the camera steady, take pictures hand-held and with tripod and compare them on pixel level to see how much your hands are shaking. Every lens has its sweet spots where it shows best sharpness and contrast. You can find MTF charts for many lenses on the web. Many lenses have the best performance around F8. It also makes sense to use manual focus when feasible. Again, compare manual focusing with autofocus in various light condition to see when to use what. Taking pictures with telephoto 200-300 mm lens can be challenging. When you close the aperture down to F8, and set shutter to at least 1/1000, and ISO to 160, you can shoot only in a very bright sunny day. Therefore, a tripod when using telephoto lenses is virtually always a necessity. Also if you have difficulty manually focusing because your hands are shaking, you aren’t likely to get sharp pictures. Get some practice on a gun range, familiarize yourself with shooting breathing techniques, take a half breath, let some out, hold it, steady your hands, push the trigger slowly. Many people blame a camera or lens for their blurry pictures, while the real reason is shaking hands, or poor focusing, or high ISO.

I Love my G3
By M. Banas
I took my G3 on my four week vacation to Europe. I also bought the 20mm f1.7 pancake to go along with it. I’m back from my trip and here are my impressions:

What could be better:
- Feels solid but a bit heavier than expected. I can fit it into some of my jackets’ pockets but it weighs the jacket down too much.
- Shape of camera not as pocketable as I’d hope, mainly due to protruding EVF, only large pocets work even with a pancake lens.
- EVF is great for composing shots but not good enough for evaluating exposure, the 3″ LCD does a better job.
- Compared to APSc censors the dynamic range is not as wide, however much better than any compact I ever used. I compared some high contrast shots to my friends Nikon D5100, and his camera was better at preserving highlights. Non high contrast scenes were comperable.
- White Balance could be better in artificial light.

What I love:
- Smaller and less intrusive than a full sized SLR.
- Looks great, especially with the 20mm pancake.
- Great handgrip & controls
- Easy to use if you need to capture a spontenaous mement.
- Intuitive controls if you want to get creative.
- Fast shooting.
- Great Looking Photos

All in all the G3 is not as pocketable as I’d hoped, but that is the tradeoff oh having an EVF and manual controls, and for me it’s worth it. The camera easly slips into a small messenger style bag. Once I got over the portablity issue I fell in love with the camera, it’s just fun to use, and the photos are great. I especially love it with the 20mm pancake for a really portable package. I took 1,500 hundred photos on my trip, reviewed them all, and I am very pleased. This camera is not for everyone however it’s great for anyone that wants to take charge of the camera, play with manual controls and get creative controls without the bulk of an SLR.

Aaron Medina — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 16:17:16 +0000

With acne being the most mutual skin condition, it’s no surprise that there are thousands of dissimilar acne merchandise on the market. Neutrogena merchandise for acne treatment is one option to support control your breakouts and you may effortlessly find them in stores. However, altho Neutrogena is a good company, their acne treatments may not be your best choice.

There are regarding 10 dissimilar productions that Neutrogena offers that are supposed to aid fight and prevent acne. These include gels, creams, lotions, cleansing pads and facial washes. With so a lot of Neutrogena merchandise for acne treatment available, it may be difficult to determine which one to use or if any of them will in truth support your acne.

Acne treatments tend to fall into three categories: General treatments, specialized treatments and prescription drugs. General treatments are merchandise that address sure issues with your acne but may also be classified as ordinary skin care products. Many of the Neutrogena merchandise fall into this category.

As an example, they offer a good deal of facial washes and cleansers that fall into their “acne” product line, but these productions aren’t inevitably aimed to eliminate or treat acne. They do get rid of sure bacteria but this is unfeigned of all facial washes.

None of the Neutrogena merchandise for acne treatment fall into the prescription drug category. Although your doctor or dermatologist may prescribe sure drugs to treat acne, they may have side effects and are not the safest choice when attempting to get rid of acne. The antibiotics only work in the short run, and longrun use may wreck mayhem on your immune system.

The most powerful acne drug – accutance – is full of side effects and potentially complications. You may treat your acne much more efficaciously and with 100% safety by using specialized acne treatments. Specialized acne treatments are designed to to the full or entire extent target your acne. Typically this means that you are using a “system” with multiple stages, not just one product.

To veritably heal your acne, you need to address all the difficultnesses areas that your acne comes from.

First, you need to take control of the oil on your skin and the amount of oil that your skin glands produce. When you have excess oil on your skin, your pores get clogged and acne breakouts occur.

Second, you need to destruct the acne causing bacteria that builds up on your skin and unclogs your skin pores. If this bacteria is left untreated, your existent acne will survive and new zits will form.

Third, you want to control inflammation, aggravation and redness on your skin. This is often times overlooked – in fact galore frequent acne merchandise actually cause inflammation or irritation. This may make existent acne look worse and give life to new pimples.

Lastly, it’s a huge help if you have something that rejuvenates your skin and provides it with the nourishment it needs to be at it’s healthiest.

The problem with Neutrogena productions for acne treatment is that they don’t take the full approach to treating acne. If you miss any of the above steps, you won’t completely get rid of your problem. You may make it more or less better at first, but in the long run your acne will come back and you won’t be competent to be wholly happy with the results.

Neutrogena offers a product called “Neutrogena Advanced SolutionsComplete Acne Therapy System” that is their version of a specialized acne solution. However, it misses the mark on a couple areas. The system does do good occupation of killing bacteria and providing nutrients to your skin, but it doesn’t do anything to genuinely control the oil on your skin. Nor does it quintessentially target redness and inflammation.

It isn’t an amazing product, but it won’t make you acne free. There are a few choices out there that are a lot better and are proven to heal acne. You may read reviews at my internet site if you have acne and are severe when it comes to getting rid of it.

All in all, Neutrogena merchandise for acne treatment will provide you with fixed support towards treating your acne but won’t go the full mile. You need a more finish and specialized system to attack your acne fully. By using an acne treatment that treats your acne from all angles and at the root of the problem, you may 100% get rid of your acne and have the beautiful, clear skin you genuinely want.

Works very well for me, *personally*
By Random Name
First off, I’m in my early 20′s and have combination type skin with occasional, mild to moderate acne. I used nearly two whole ProActiv systems before switching to a Neutrogena kit and have found that this clears up my skin much better and faster. I find it very convenient that the Day Lotion includes SPF 15, whereas the ProActiv Repairing Lotion doesn’t, even though ProActiv advises you to use sunscreen with their system when going outside. That would probably prompt you to buy their oil-free moisturizer with SPF 15 as well ($$ smart business move $$), thus adding another step to your skin-care regimen. I would recommend anyone with my acne/skin type who is thinking about subscribing to ProActiv to try Neutrogena first.

Anyway, the Neutrogena kit lasts around 5 months for me. I still get an occasional zit or two, but with less frequency than I did in the past. I use a Neutrogena Rapid Clear spot gel for that with success.

Word of advice: It might be best if you shake the tube of acne cleanser before you start using it. When I was finishing up what was left of the last tube I used, I discovered that all the “micro-fine beads” were gathered there, afloat at the very top somehow. I’ve been wondering where those were all along…

Finally, help for adult acne!!
By Jennifer Boumis
I am in my early 30′s and have been experiencing severe and embarassing break-outs along my jaw line, chin and cheeks for the past couple of years. I have tried Murad, Proactiv, AcneFree and many other systems without success.
A month ago I picked up the Neutrogena system when I saw it on sale. Within five days days my skin started to clear. Now, I have a completely clear complexion and have not had a single break-out since starting the system. I have had no problems with drying and my skin is much softer than before. Finally, a product that works and comes at a decent price!

Works great for me
By D. Sabol
First of all, I understand that not every product will work for every individual. But, this one is far exceeding my expectations. I did some research online before I bought this. What I found was that what seemed to work the best for people was a combination of salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. I looked at the wide array of acne treatments I had at home and they were ALL salicylic acid, but no benzoyl peroxide. I thought it was worth a shot.

I’m 35 and acne runs in my family. My mom still has it. I was starting to develop very deep, painful acne that would heal in one place and then show up in another place. Nothing I was doing was getting rid of it. I found this Neutrogena system and I noticed some improvement the very next day. I’m a little over a week into it now and I can’t believe the improvement! I’m going to recommend this product to anyone I know who battles with acne, like I did.

Realistically, I know I’ll probably still have the occasional breakout. But this worked wonders on the constant problems I was experiencing before. One of the things I REALLY like about this, is it’s only 2 steps. Wash and moisturize/protect. I don’t have the time or the patience for a whole routine with various products. I love that I just have to wash and apply cream. Overall I think this is a wonderful product and half the price of Proactiv (which I understand is a 3 step process anyway).

Statin Drugs Side Effects and the Misguided War

Tyrese Jackson — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 13:11:14 +0000

Statins are a class of drugs designed to block the production of cholesterol by the body, with the effect of letting down a patient’s blood cholesterol levels. According the modern medical mythology, the use of these drugs at long last lowers the patient’s peril for coronary heart disease.

These drugs are exceedingly dangerous. There are huge volumes of reports detailing the horrid and oftentimes permanent side effects of taking these drugs. They include:

Severe muscle cell harm leading to a fatal kidney condition called rhabdomyolysis. The debris from the dying muscle cells releases myoglobin, a substance which damages the kidneys, causing failure.
Muscle pain and weakness which cannot be reversed.
Neurological difficultnesses including international transient amnesia, memory loss, learning handicap and confusion.
Statins may cause congestive heart failure by interfering with the metabolization of necessary fatty acids.
They interfere with metabolic pathways having to do with neuropeptide formation, leading to increased hostility, aggression and depression.
Statins likewise block the production of crucial cell chemicals such as CoQ10 enzymes which compounds the harm they cause.
Statins are likewise linked to the a much dandier peril of manufacturing diabetes as a “side effect”.
There are host of other side effects, including pancreatitis, an increase in respiratory contagions and pneumonia, peripheral neuropathy, skin rashes and sexual dysfunction.

Ironically, the reason for taking these dangerous drugs is to “fix” a condition that IS NOT life or health threatening for most people. Elevated cholesterol levels are not a health risk, and “cholesterol” is not an suitable target to treat with dangerous drugs.

The hypothesis that elevated levels of cholesterol cause arterial plaque is misguided and incomplete. Cholesterol is used by the body to repair arterial harm invented by inflammatory constituents such as elevated insulin levels. The source of the inflammation ought to be treated, not the band-aid of the cholesterol fix function.

Cholesterol is not a health threat. It is a substance that is ESSENTIAL to LIFE. Lowering it with drugs has the aftermaths noted above because it plays a role in the most critical body functions, including brain cell connection formation, muscle strength, tendon maintenance, vitamin A and D metabolism, necessary fatty acid metabolism, and the formulate of hormones which regulate the blood levels of salt, water and calcium, and other critical metabolic processes.

Cholesterol is a substantial player in the moderation of mood, and low levels have been linked to increased aggression, hostility and depression. In fact, cholesterol is so important to physical life, the body will make cholesterol if you don’t eat enough.

This self regulation element makes it very difficult to use a low fat diet alone to lower your cholesterol levels, because as you lower your fat intake, your body increments it is cholesterol production. In order to get cholesterol levels underneath the commended 200 mg/dl, you have to take cholesterol letting down drugs.

How commodious for the pharmaceutical companies and those who gain financially from drug sales that only prescribed, costly drugs will lower cholesterol to the “healthy” level that our nutritional experts recommend.

On the counsel of the National Institutes of Health, and the urging of pharmaceutical company representatives, physicians are prescribing these cholesterol letting down drugs in ever dandier numbers. Expensive statins such as Advicor, Lipitor, Crestor, Pravachol and Zocor are being prescribed to millions of Americans each day, in spite of the proof of the major injure they cause.

According to Consumer Reports:

Monthly prescriptions for statins rose 3.9%, from an intermediate 12.6 million per month in the amount of time October 2005 to May 2006 to an intermediate 13.1 million per month in the amount of time June 2006 to December 2006 – a gain of a good deal of 500,000 prescriptions per month.

Just recently, the Jupiter study hailed statins as a new “cure” for persons with elevated rates of CRP (C-Reactive Protein) which is a marker for inflammation within the body. What the media and the promoters of statin drugs don’t tell you is that the risk reduction from the study was minimal, giving careful consideration to the horrid side effects of statins, and it cost the persons who requires medical care $3.50 a day to take these drugs.

In addition, other studies have shown that plain old, cheap magnesium supplements work much better to lower CRP at a much less danger of danger. Doctors will have to treat the underlying cause of the inflammation with less dangerous options.

Statin Drugs Side Effects And The Misguided War

If you are on a statin drug or are thinking of going on a statin, this completely referenced book, Statin Drug Side Effects, is a “must read” for you. The unacceptable bequest of statin drug use at today’s high doses is a trail of chronic aches and pains, numbness, weakness, confusion, fatigue, shortness of breath and even heart failure in hordes of unsuspecting victims. Only by knowing this information, and in consultation with your healthcare professional, may you make an informed decision with regards to your health care. If you are a user of Vytorin, Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor, Mevacor, Pravachol or Lescol you must read this book. Most of the statin side effects I talk about are unknown to your busy doctor. Although welleducated when it comes to muscle and liver problems, few have heard of statin amnesia and other forms of memory dysfunction and less still associate hostility, aggression and unfathomed depression as statin related. As a former astronaut, aerospace medical exploration scientist, flight surgeon and family doctor, I was appalled by the lack of data in the medical community on the full range of side effects of the statin drugs. This book is a comprehensive reference source and summary of side effects of statin drugs.

Cholesterol Truth Means No Statin Drugs
By Joel M. Kauffman
This book focuses on the side-effects of statin drugs used “to lower cholesterol” or LDL-cholesterol. Its author has been an astronaut, aerospace medical research scientist, flight surgeon, family physician for at least 10 years, writer (including novels), and holder of a Masters degree in Public Health (MPH). Still, he enjoys being known as “Spacedoc”. But what makes him super-qualified as author of Statin Drug Side Effects (SDSE) is that he has experienced two episodes of transient global amnesia himself after taking Lipitor(tm).

Statins: These drugs are heavy on dangerous side effects, and very light on extending a healthy life.
By Health Reader Guy
If you have a typical headache, you can count on aspirin, acetaminophen or ibuprofen to bring relief. If you have a stuffed nose and can’t breathe, Nyquil or another decongestant will provide easier breathing for sleep. On the true preventive side of things, having a pregnant woman take folic acid and other supplements absolutely prevents neural tube defects. And making sure that growing children consume calcium and get sun exposure (or take Vitamin D) absolutely prevents rickets and other bone problems.
So does taking a statin reliably prevent a heart attack? Absolutely not! The true statistics show that statins might lower the absolute risk of a cardiac event by just one or two percent over placebo. But the drugmakers use a statistical trick called “relative reduction in risk” to artificially boost this small difference, which is the way they’ve convinced their sales people and the prescribing physicians to believe in this giant scheme. If 7 percent of placebo users suffer a cardiac event over five years, while about 5 percent of statin users have one, that’s an absolute reduction of just 2 percent over five years. But the drugmakers state publicly that it’s a “relative reduction in risk” of almost 30 percent, which mathematically is correct. But it’s not ethically correct, in my judgement.
And for that one or two percent increased chance of avoiding a cardiac event, side effects occur in far greater percentages of users, and some of these side effects are severe and dangerous. Dr. Graveline’s important book points this out in truthful, objective and honest ways. In fact, numerous studies have shown that statins do not increase mortality statistics.
As Dr. Kauffman, Dr. Rosch, and the other reviewers have written, Dr. Graveline’s book is a critically important one. It should be required reading for all prescribing physicians.

Useful Information About Hidden Dangers
By Paul J. Rosch
This concise but comprehensive compendium not only lists the cornucopia of statin side effects, but also clearly explains the mechanisms of action responsible for their insidious side effects. Many of these dangerous complications, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders that have been skillfully concealed or denied by statin manufacturers are just now beginning to surface. As Dr. Graveline emphasizes, in blocking cholesterol, which is essential for neuronal communication in the brain, statins also interfere with the synthesis of Coenzyme Q10, dolichols and NF-kB (nuclear factor kappa B), vital nutrients crucial for energy production, neuropeptide synthesis and proper immune system function. He also discusses the important role of homocysteine in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and the fallacies of current dogma that perpetuates the high fat diet’ high cholesterol’ heart attack myths. Equally valuable is a chapter devoted to statin alternatives that are certainly much safer and can be more effective for many, especially senior citizens and women of any age. The author, who is a physician with impressive credentials, became interested in this subject after suffering two episodes of global amnesia. His previous book, Lipitor, Thief of Memory, details this and similar memory problems experienced by many others. Since then, he has established a web site www.spacedoc.net that now includes reports of over 7,000 patients who have experienced documented statin side effect. As also emphasized, statins have been the best selling drugs ever for several years. This meaty book should be required reading for the many millions of patients that take them and the hundreds of thousands of physicians who prescribe them.

Nanodermix: Advanced Anti-Wrinkle Cream

Colten Ross — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 23:41:27 +0000

Wrinkles are an age old skin dilemma that until now remains unsolved. No matter how innovative our science and engineering science is now, aging still reigns over us. Luckily, our neverending search for learning hasn’t completely left us powerless versus the development of wrinkles and other unruly aging signs on aging. Even though there are no precise treatments that may heal aging and give us eternal youthfulness, there are treatments and merchandise which we may use like botox injections and wrinkle cream brands to support temporarily ward it off.

Before we dwell on the treatments, let’s spotlight firstborn the causes behind wrinkles. Knowing the root of your problem is very primary if you want to efficaciously treat it because then you’ll recognise which target to get rid of. In terms of wrinkles, they develop because of the low levels of collagen in the skin. When we’re young, our skin formulates sufficient amounts of this element in our body but this capability lessens as we age. Collagen is the one lending the skin it is elasticity and without it, our skin sags, folds, and gives rise to wrinkles.

Getting this piece of information, you already know that you have to increase the production of collagen again in your body in order to efficaciously battle aging. At this, you have to commence looking for a wrinkle cream or a treatment that may trigger your skin to get back it is old capacity of developing collagen once again. Note, however, that you have to use a wrinkle cream that may push the skin to naturally fabricate collagen and not a cream which has collagen atoms integrated on it is formulation. Choosing the latter is genuinely a gorgeous bad idea because collagen molecules are finelooking huge for the pores and may cause blocking and troubles like acne, whiteheads, and blackheads.

Instead, a wrinkle cream with a powerful ingredient like Matrixyl, for example, may surely do the deed because it works by healing and revitalizing the lower levels of the skin to push it to formulate collagen no matter what the age of the person is. Using wrinkle creams are genuinely preferent by numerous because the science behind them provides a more natural looking youthfulness rather of proficiencies like lasers and botox injections. Moreover, the problem with innovative proficiencies is they may also cause irreparable effects when done wrong. Lasers, for example may cause crusting of the skin while injections may fetch permanent muscle numbness. In the end, the good old wrinkle creams are still the best.

Resurface skin while you sleep for tighter, smoother skin when you wake. Professional medium or deep chemical peels work quickly to resurface skin, but these fast-acting treatments may be harsh, causing severe flaking or prolonged redness. While not the same results, Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Elixir works each night to help gently resurface skin while you sleep for tighter, smoother skin when you wake- – without the risk of harsh side effects affiliated with a professional chemical peel.* *Results not equivalent to professional medium or deep chemical peels.

Nightly Skin Care While You Sleep
By L. M. Keefer
I bought this as my skin seemed dry, washed out, rough and I hadn’t had a facial in years. I’d read a dermatologist say that you don’t have to pay boutique prices for boutique expensive skin care because the big companies like Olay spend a lot on research and development–they have big budgets, sell a lot, and their products have to be good.

I put this on at night and within a few days my skin was smooth, brighter, not rough and tighter. I hadn’t anticipated that last feature. I feel like I’m getting a mini-facial or peel while I sleep. I was thrilled with the results, and am going to buy some more Olay products. I feel like I’m taking good care of my skin without spending a lot of $$$$.

It works. Subtly, but noticeably.
By Shulamit Widawsky
Call me a bit nuts, but I really wanted to be able to see if this product worked. So, I purchased the “Anti-Aging Moisturize Night Resurfacing Elixir,” and for the first six nights, applied it only to the right side of my face. To keep the experiment fair, on the left, I continued using just my regular night time product, “Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream.” Please note, I am 47, have always used Olay products (though until 40, that meant the old fall back, “Oil of Olay” with or without sun screen). My skin is pretty good for my age, but I would like it to be even better. Hence, the interest in the “resurfacing elixir.”

After two days of use, the right side of my face looked the same, maybe the skin was a bit smoother to the touch. After four days, a *very* close inspection revealed smoother pores on the treated side. By days five and six, I actually could see a subtle improvement in my crow’s feet around my eyes, and some lines from the corner of my mouth. After a full six nights of treatment, I could see that the slightly hanging jowl on my right jaw was not hanging as much as the one on the left side, and the scar on my throat (from surgery years ago) was tightened up on the right, more than the left.

Wish I had a good “before” picture. Was I lopsided before I started? Did the scar look much better on the right than the left before? Did the jowl always hang more on the left? Well, the answer to that will have to wait a few days, for the reverse treatment this week. Starting last night I put the Resurfacing Elixer on the left, and the Micro-Sculpting Cream on the right. Next week I will post what happens. I’m particularly interested to see if the left jowl raises up to be more even with the right, and if my throat scar looks better. But also the regular stuff: the crow’s feet, and the smile lines.

Though I get the impression that this product improved my skin, I gave it only 4-stars because of the subtlety of the results. I’d post a picture, but the results are so subtle, I can’t seem to get them to show up in a photo. I suspect a professional photographer with special lighting could bring out the comparison. But sans professional photographer, I’ll have to offer up only my words.

Here’s hoping I have something good to report next week! (It will be added as a comment.)

P.S. Who the heck named this stuff? Awkward!
