That's my first mirroless camera and my 2nd ever camera I got in 2010. I want to buy one again just for nostalgia (blue color please) but that camera helped me learn photography so much, I used it for 5 years before getting a Panasonic GX7 (my favourite camera of all time)
Great to note that the G1 eventually transformed into the G85 and G9 for a similar size G body, compared to the GH series which is a much bigger body. A lot more features evolved into the G85 which is still available with 12-60mm kit lens (5x zoom similar to 24-120mm in FF) and best of all at a very low price. G9 is small also but has a much higher cost. Panasonic, thanks for keeping the m43 alive (along with Olympus or the company that bought them out). These G cameras from Panasonic are great for carry anywhere travel cameras in a small bag with decent zooms available in much smaller lenses than aps-c, which is arguably the reason m43 is still here. Great review!
Thanks Adrian! Yeah, the G85 struck a great balance and I'm a big fine of the G series in general - would love to see some more movement on that front from Panasonic!
Sorry for my poor English. I bought a very slightly used G1 five years ago and I keep on using it--especially when I go to the mountains and my main camera (a Nikon D610) and its accessories would be too heavy. There are two interesting features the review doesn't mention: -- I often check the DOF and the G1 has a button for it -- AND it has something else I've never seen on any other camea, even I've never heard about: It can simulate and show how the image would look--in case of a moving object e. g. a vehicle--if I take the picture with the pre-selected shutter speed (blurr!) IT'S A GREAT CAMERA, STILL!
Thanks Lajos! And your English is great 💪 The G1 is such a great camera for those times when the big kit is just TOO big! I didn't mention the DOF button as that's quite a common feature, but I totally forgot about the shutter speed simulation - it's such a cool thing!
Back in the days in 2010 i have bought the GH1, which is almost the same like G1, but with video. What makes me really wonder, almost 14 years later, why not any company has managed it to buildt an AF assist light system to work with mirrorless cameras.

Haha, team blue keeping it real! 💙 The GX7 is a great camera as well. Very good taste!

Interesting trip down memory lane 👍🏻.
Thank you! Really appreciate the appreciation ☺
once an Panasonic, always Panasonic! The one and only!
Looking forward to seeing what Panasonic cooks up next in the Micro Four Thirds realm!
