Generally, we found images from the GF2 to be good and an accurate gauge of Micro Four Thirds' (MFT) image quality in general. ISO sensitivity peaked out at around ISO1600, which seems to be a quality barrier that other MFT cameras haven't broken. Resolution is good, with clean detail in images.
Images are perfectly clear and clean up to ISO800, and details start to blur at ISO1600, which you can use in a pinch, but from ISO3200 image noise becomes noticeably visible. See the 100% crop of our test scene for examples.
Colors are bright and punchy; sometimes a little too punchy but purists can always shoot in RAW.
The camera shoots a high 1800 x 1800LPH on our resolution chart.
Shooting with the 14mm pancake lens, we noticed some soft vignetting around the edges when shooting wide open.
