This model is Panasonic’s answer to the latest craze – the micro four thirds miniature cameras. If you don’t already know, the micro four thirds cameras bring DSLR-like quality into a body as small as a compact. Lets put the DMC-G1 to the test!

How To Name a Business or a Brand
One of the crucial aspects of setting up a fresh company is to select the right name. The decision on selecting a name is one of the first steps to setting up a corporate identity, even before designing a logo. The name of the company serves as a corner stone when you are designing a logo.
Selecting a name for a company was never an easy task, and it has become even more difficult thanks to the Internet! Any company today needs a web presence. It is worth your while to verify the availability of a preferred domain name before you finalize the name of the company. You also need to consider what could happen to the name of the company in future, as you grow year on year. For example, if you run a design company specializing with logo creation, a name such as ‘Logo Factory’ could serve you well. But what if you expand to other realms of web design, what if you start a CMS training module etc? Well, you would either need to change the name of the company or set up an entirely new division with its own name and corporate identity.
