[3] At the time of introduction on 13 June 2011, the GF3 was the world's smallest and lightest digital-interchangeable lens system camera.

[2] The GF3 has received generally positive reviews for a small camera with a large sensor, and has speedy handling, including very fast auto focus, and good image quality.
