引述自dpreview .....we're told that the design (complete with faux prism 'hump') is deliberately conservative; Panasonic's research has shown that its target market (particularly in Japan) still prefers a camera that looks like a camera is supposed to, and wasn't going to risk falling at the first hurdle by producing something too radical........ 大意是P採保守作法,針對主要目標也就是日本市場對相機的既有印象,避免過於激進而產生風險
引述自imaging-resource .....So, while the Panasonic G1 is definitely smaller than the smallest SLR on the market, it's not (yet) pocket-sized. On that topic, a senior Panasonic product planner who briefed us on the camera said that they actually could make even smaller bodies using the Micro Four Thirds standard, but they were concerned that US users in particular would find them too small. I suspect that's the case in general, but I'd bet that a really small "rangefinder-style" Micro Four Thirds camera would find a lot of takers among people looking for a very small camera for street photography and other traditional rangefinder uses....... P高階產品規畫表明P可以做得更小,但考量老美會覺得太小了因而作罷,..但作者卻敢打賭RF風格的小型機對特定族群的強大吸引力....
