Key features of the G2 include a touchscreen interface that allows control of many camera functions including touch-based selection of focus points within the live view frame. This duplicating the control options provided by the physical dials and buttons on the camera body. The G2 was sold with a redesigned 14-42mm Panasonic kit lens that was lighter and less expensive than the 14-45mm lens included with the G1.
At launch, the suggested retail price for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 with 14-42mm lens kit was $800 USD[4] in the United States market. It was available in black, red and blue color options.
