Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2

The A560 had good overall performance and was easy to use. But there are a few issues that hold it back.

We've given the Panasonic G3 and its new 16-megapixel sensor all it can handle, and the results are in.

A new spin on the SLR, with a translucent mirror to let light through, so it can shoot and focus at the same time.

The Alpha A33, along with its big-brother A55V, is part of Sony's collection of translucent mirror DSLRs.

Cheap, and takes good pictures, but missing features (flash, viewfinder, image stabilization) make it a poor pick.

The G2 combines slick hardware with impressive performance to give a good name to the Micro Four Thirds format.
