Quick review

The good
Lens, OIS, build, white balance, live view, responsive, nice menus, image quality, handling
The bad
Heavy, gloomy viewfinder, noisy images at high ISO, LCD does not flip out and so fails to get the most from Live View capability
Verdict
This rangefinderesque camera is a bit a of a beast but has great magnesium alloy build and, rather than being a budget model, Panasonic has given us a decidedly serious affair and a fairly unique one at that
