Panasonic today announced the world's first Micro Four Thirds system camera, the 12-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1. Weighing in at 385 grams (0.85 lbs), the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 (specs) is also the world's smallest and lightest digital interchangeable lens camera. Based on the new Micro Four Thirds system standard, the camera eliminates the internal mirror structure that defines DSLR cameras, thus reducing the size and weight by nearly half. With the mirror-less system, the G1's flange back, which is the distance between the mount and the image sensor, has been reduced from 40 mm - as specified in the Four Thirds System - to approximately 20 mm.
