Panasonic has announced the new DMC GF3 compact mirrorless camera. The latest Micro Four Thirds model continues the company's move towards smaller, easier-to-use cameras. The GF3 has the same 12MP sensor as its predecessor but with a faster processor enabling rapid 120Hz autofocusing. The camera gains the Photo Styles and Creative Controls color and processing options from the G3 but loses several physical features from the GF2.
