We just learned that Panasonic is going to introduce a completely new designed G3 camera. The new body looks different than the current G1/G2 cameras. But it will not have a “rangefinder look” like the famous DMC-LC1. One of our sources told us that the new body form is very close to the Samsung NX10. We received rumors saying that Panasonic wasn’t happy with the Panasonic G10 and Panasonic G2 sales. That’s why they anticipated the release of a new G camera having new specs and new design. As you know the G10 has been discontinued and the G2 price is decreasing.

The new sensor is the same that will be used by future Olympus cameras. We have no reliable info yet but we received rumors about a new 14-15 megapixel sensor from unknown sources. What’s certain is that the G3 can take FullHD videos (but not at 24mbit/s like the new GH2).

I'm worried if it's going to look like the Samsung NX10. That's one ugly camera.

Yuk - another cigarette pack with a lens stuck on the front, wouldn't care what sensor it's got if it's going to be pig ugly

If the rumor is correct,
I think Panasonic has really missed the boat here....

If the G3 were to be styled along the lines of the Fuji X100, the G3 would be a huge seller....Classic rangefinder looks WITH interchangeable lenses....

have to agree here, When I read L1 like, I got exited, then they said it looks the NX10... What? Is that writer just plain blind?. The NX10 doesn't come close the the L1 "Look"..

I'd really like the "body like the L1", as many would. And it would be a direct competition to the X100 in many ways., Body Form, Size, MPs, Added m4/3 mount and a Twist/Tilt LCD, Panasonic Stock goes up 20% in the next Q.
