With Motion JPEG selected the quality options become 720p, VGA (640 x 480) and QVGA (320 x 240) all at 30fps regardless of region. I found the ability to insert viewfinder or external flash not a necessity, as GF3 is an entry level camera.

Edit: Reading further I see this: "Of course rumors of the release of a GF-series camera always raise the hopes of GF1 users for an enthusiast-targeted rangefinder-styled successor" While the GF3 targets the consumer and lifestyle end of the market, the G3 is aimed more at enthusiasts and those photographers looking for the Monaural, Wind-cut: Off / Low / Standard / High / Microphone level adjustable: Lv1 / Lv2 / Lv3 / Lv4Both engines have recoil start and adopt the latest technical innovation ensuring easy engine starts, reliability, low emissions, reduced consumption, high performance and vibration reduced to the minimum.

HOWEVER. If you plan on attaching an external flash, the GF2 has a hotshoe, the GF3 does not. Since I do not use external flash with this camera, it made no difference for me, but it might well for you..... Archived copy". Archived from the original on 23 February 2012 .

Unlike the GF2, however, the GF3 doesn't have an accessory port that can accept an external electronic viewfinder, so images must always be composed on the 3in screen.

Magnification ratio depends on the recording pixels and aspect ratio.) / Motion image: 3.1x (SH/H in AVCHD and HD/WVGA in Motion JPEG), 4.2x (VGA/QVGA in Motion JPEG)The Lumix GF3 body has no in-built stabilisation, but the 14-42mm kit lens is optically stabilised using the same MEGA O.I.S lens-shift system available on the Lumix compact range. The obvious downside is if you want stabilisation, you’ll need to choose a lens which features it, whereas the built-in stabilisation of the Olympus bodies works with any lens you attach, including primes and wide-angles. There are other optically stabilised lenses in the Panasonic Micro Four Thirds range, but it tends to be reserved for zooms. Neither the 14mm f2.5 nor 20mm f1.8 pancake primes are stabilised – unless of course you mount them on an Olympus body – which can be frustrating if you’re filming handheld video with the GF3. The GF3 does especially well at medium-fast sensitivities like ISO 800, where regular compacts tend to suffer Olympus announces OM-D E-M5 weather-sealed Micro Four Thirds camera". Dpreview.com . Retrieved 26 December 2018. In terms of still image quality the GF3 offers virtually indistinguishable performance to its predecessor. Noise levels are very similar, with a usable range of ISO 160-800 and good results even at 1600, although the fastest settings of 3200 and particularly the 6400 setting aren't really worth using, so the GF3 still can't quite rival a decent DSLR or CSC camera with an APS-C sized sensor in low-light. Colours are accurate when using the default Standard setting, with lots of scope to adjust the JPEG output to suit your own tastes, and the auto white balance is spot-on in most lighting conditions. The diminutive pop-up flash is OK for use as fill-in, the ability to make bulb exposures up to 4 minutes long will please night photographers, and anti-shake via compatible lenses helps to keep things sharp in low-light. The top of the GF3 has a microphone, monoaural speaker, cleverly designed built-in pop-up flash, dedicated button for the Intelligent Auto mode which lights blue when turned on, tactile shutter button, on/off switch, and a one-touch movie button. The Panasonic GF3 has a dedicated button for opening the cleverly designed pop-up flash. Given the small size of the GF3, fitting a built-in flash was no mean feat, as proven by the double-hinged design which is quite a technical achievement. Although not particularly powerful with a guide number of just 6.3, the GF3's flash is perfectly adequate for fill-in effects at close-quarters.

The native 16 PIN (12VHPWR) PCIe connector of GF3 1350W can deliver up to 600W for PCIe 5.0 graphics cards.I dislike the darker reddish look of GF3, it's not natural at all, and reddish jpeg output also makes teenager's acne look worst than it is Colour is generally quite pleasing. Used on the Standard setting, the GF3 delivers neutral but pleasing colour that is neither overly saturated not flat. Of course this can be tweaked for more or less saturation depending on your own preference using the Photo Style options. The Expressive option within the Creative Controls acts very much like a Vivid setting too, should you like that sort of look.
