About this deal

Color accuracy is critical for modern creative work, but many creatives have no idea what a colorimeter is actually doing when you put it on your display. A lot of the specification remains the same: it has the same 3in touch screen and 12 Megapixel sensor as in the GF2, and although the new Venus Engine FHD processor adds faster AF and continuous shooting, the best video quality remains the same full HD 1080i in AVCHD format. 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.

The more flexible 'Photo Styles' color presets also migrate across from the G3, as do the 'Creative Control' processing filters. There are three available strengths - low, standard and high - and an Extended option which increase the zoom range. on the 14-42mm) gives you a shallower depth-of-field to play with, meaning you can make your primary subject really pop out of the background. The latter is a particular advantage for shooting video and combined with the GF3’s touch screen focussing makes for some very slick focus-pulling. These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both the speed and focus to capture fast action and offer professional-level image quality.
