How good is the in-camera HDR function for GX1?

The GX1 has very customizable bracketing, but that is all. There is no in-cam HDR feature.

Hi John, The earlier version of the product is without G sensor and support up to HD. Current version we're shipping is with G sensor and support up to FHD ( 15 frames ). thanks Marie

Enjoying my new X10. Have posted several photos included a few with HDR post processing on my website at http://k4qky.com/hobbies/photography.html .

Working fine for me as a real-time streetcam on a Core2 Quad with 8 GB and Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The camera does use a lot of CPU time (20-35% on the quad-core box) at its max resolution 1280x720 mode. CPU use drops significantly at lower resolutions. Nevertheless, it's my favorite USB camera out of an assortment of models I've used. It's by far the best at handling dawn to dusk outside light levels and is even (barely) useful at night with the illumination of a single street light that's about 120 feet away.

I use this lens with Panasonic Lumix GX1 and it works perfectly well. Pictures are sharp with no flares or other aberrations. Should work with GH3 as well.

No light on the V1, but still the price is attractive. I own both the V1 and a D90 (a DSLR a few levels above the D3200, although not in pixel count). I use the camera's for different reasons. The V1 is my go-to compact camera. Very good image quality, and since it goes everywhere with me I get shots I wouldn't otherwise get with a DSLR.

no currently GH3 has no focus peaking. i'm hoping it will be release in a later firmware. if this is a deal breaker for you, i would suggest sony rx100. i have that too and that has awesome focus peaking. you can alway get a canon and install magic latern. magic lantern has focus peaking.

Inside your home, while using the flash, your photos will be fine. The video is not so good. I own both the G11 and the more expensive G1X. G1X would be much better for the videos, and the photos would be wider in the 1080 format. G1X however is terrible for macro photos, (Close up). G1X is also larger and harder to fit in a pocket. As long as you have all the lights on in the room. The G11 will be fine.

My daughter's experience with her XS1 would say that it does a very good job in every lighting situation, including offsetting back lighting. She uses it on the automatic setting only. Like most cameras, it can also be "fooled" into correct exposure by pushing the shutter button halfway first, etc.

GX7 is a fantastic camera. Yes it is fully compatible with OIS lenses. Silent mode is what I've been waiting for - digital Konica Hexar.

The G5 does surprisingly well in low light! I am a bit amazed at the pictures I can take with street lights as the only illumination. There is sensor noise; somewhat more than with my Nikon D600, about the same as my Nikon D7000. Noise elimination post-processing cleans it up fairly nicely.On the other hand, consider that most Micro 4/3 lenses are fairly slow. So unless you get one of the fast lenses, you'll be using the "low-light" capabilities more than you would if you had a camera with an fast lens. The lens based anti-shake system works OK, but it's not as effective as some costlier systems, so a tripod is a must for "available dark" shooting. The G5 does surprisingly well in low light!

Thanks for your response. So... Is there any difference in picture quality?

It's important to note that there are two elements to the contrast ratio. There's the contrast provided by the 3 LCD screens, and then there is they "dynamic contrast" added by the auto iris that adjusts overall picture brightness. The 5030 is an advanced iris that boosts apparent contrast -- and I have to say it works pretty darn well. Even dark scenes have solid blacks and contrast.That said, it's almost impossible to set up a direct comparison (same lighting conditions, same materials). I'm very pleased with the 5030UB, but it's whatever you like/want to pay.

If HX5V works better for your application and usage, then it's good for you. I have no problem with that. But for me the IQ of camera is very important (I consider both sharpness, distortion as part of IQ) and having more manual control is important too. I agree that many folks would just use auto mode or pre-set scene modes, but it's good to have option to tweak it when needed for people like me. In these two regards, ZS7 is the better camera for me.

Yes I have two of the lenses and two of the GX1 cameras. They work very well together.

i own one and the screen is matte. i also take photos for architectural/real estate. best if you have monitor calibration tools, otherwise default color settings not that good for editing/processing. i also use my nikon tethered straight to laptop and works well. has built in sd card reader too. only downside is battery life. high performance settings will get you about 1.5hrs work time. power brick is literally a brick so not that portable. overall, very good and reliable machine. i won't replace this for a few years more even with the updated ROG models already out.

What's the good effect? Is there an advantage in the image or resolution improvement?
