http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/02/14/Panasonic-gx1-review

Conclusion - Pros

* Highest resolution Micro Four Thirds sensor
* Very good quality JPEG high ISO images
* Improved white balance and skin tone rendering (compared to GF1)
* Fast AF acquisition (particularly impressive in low light)
* Shooting is possible while the buffer's data is being written to the card
* Well-implemented touchscreen interface
* Extensive manual control points including a mode dial and four Fn buttons
* Robust build quality
* Very pocketable form factor with the collapsible kit zoom

Conclusion - Cons

* Conservative metering tends towards underexposure
* Fastest continuous shooting modes come at the expense of live view
* 20fps SH mode yields poor image quality
* Limited manual exposure controls for video recording
* Continuous tracking performance suffers in low-light, low contrast scenarios
* Minimal effect of in-camera dynamic range settings
