The new Panasonic GM1 is a tour-de-force of miniaturization. It takes most of the capabilities of the GX7 and squeezes them into a body smaller than just about any interchangeable lens camera ever made. But, is this a "good thing"? Find out in Michael’s hands-on report from Antarctica and Chile.

You can win an all-expenses paid photographic expedition to Antarctica, along with air fare from anywhere in the world. The value of this prize is $ 15,000.

Panasonic has announced its latest flagship Micro Four Thirds camera, the Lumix DMC-GH4. It’s designed as a ‘hybrid camera’ that can shoot both stills and videos, and the emphasis of the improvements is clearly on the latter.
