Just before Christmas I came across a lightning deal on Amazon.co.uk on the Panasonic GX1 for £250. This is a funny old one – you are probably asking yourself why I need another camera (in retrospect, so was I). Well, I was curious about the GX1, having owned the E-P3 (a roughly contemporary camera) and …
