Ive been contemplating on getting a VERY SMALL camera that can take DSLR like pictures. Comparing to the previous Panasonic GF1 and GF2, though using similar image sensor, the overall pictures from my GF3 look BETTER generally as to color, noise, focus accuracy, virtually no Moire pattern problems. The GF1 had a lot of Moire pattern noise, the GF3 is really much cleaner.
