Panasonic Lumix G1



Discussion and sample digiscoped images regarding the Panasonic Lumix G1 have been posted to the Yahoo tech group for digiscoping lately. Is this the next great camera for digiscoping? After obtaining his first results, digiscoping extraordinaire Neil Fifer of Hong Kong said it's a worthy successor to the Nikon Coolpix 8400. The kit zoom lens is internally focusing and has a 52mm thread, so it will connect to Swarovski's DCA and Kowa's DA1 and DA10 digiscoping adapters. I'm not sure I'm going to get one just yet, as I remain pretty happy with my 8400. However, if you're in the market for a digital camera for digiscoping, this may be one of the best options available at the present time.
