Which would be better a Panasonic lumix dmc gx1
Or a lumix dmc g3 ?

Wifes buying me one for my birthday .. will be used 90% for outdoor shots / mines (if im aloud)

cheers

it looks like they are pretty much the same camera - flip a coin.
the GX1 can do 20 frames per second (in 4mp mode) that will be great for sports and has (slightly) better ISO range which should help in the mines.

Reading through the article and from experience.

The gx1 has better ISO ratings (for mines) battery life lasts longer and is smaller.
The g3's main advantage is the built in viewfinder, and the bulkier body can mean people with bigger hands find it easier to handle, and a tilting screen. But that's personal preference on if you'll even use it (i love it on mine, but I like low angle shots)
And as an owner of an olympus pen I can vouch that a smaller camera means you take it out more

Don't know if that helps! FYI Panasonic have a really nice video mode
