Better image and video quality than the G1 and EOS 500D
Respectively
3-inch articulated LCD
Gentle learning curve for point-and-shoot users with friendly operations.
Smooth, vibrant HD video; beginner-friendly menus and controls.
Disappointing low-light performance.
Judged on its merits alone, the Lumix DMC-GH1 shines. But at $1500, it’s significantly more expensive than an entry-level DSLR, and that’s before factoring in the price of buying those hard-to-find Micro Four Thirds lenses. (You can also buy a...
Abstract: Panasonic has brought out a solid upgrade in the Micro Four Thirds category. The smaller size and lighter weight will appeal to many people, and if you’re interested in shooting video with a still camera, it’s hard to beat the GH1. The overall image qu...
Built-in stereo microphone; quick and effective continuous autofocus; 3-inch vari-angle screen for capture high or low footage; one button switching between still and video capture.
Limited lens options; HD video showed detail loss because of compression; noisy images in low-light at high ISOs; kit lens couldn't produce shallow depth of field.
The Panasonic GH1 was a real head-turner when it first appeared at the PMA show nine months ago, offering technically advanced still and HD video capture in a sleek, attractive body based around the Micro Four Thirds sensor format. Now with more innov...
Panasonic's Lumix DMC-G1 made a mark in digital photography history at the end of 2008 as the world's first Micro 4/3 system camera. Just six months later, Panasonic unveiled its successor, the Lumix DMC-GH1. The GH1 is essentially a G1 with some...
I was really pleased with the GH1 as a fun and capable alternative to a DSLR. It’s certainly not a camera for everyone; however, it’s a camera anyone can pick up and start using. If all the buttons are too intimidating, it’s easy to pick the GH1 up, ...
Imagestabilized 10X zoom lens. Video mode has autofocus to track fast action. Offers 1080p HD video resolution at 24 frames per second for the most detail, or 720p at 30 fps for smoother motion. Swiveling 3inch LCD is great for setting up shots.
Menus with 1980s arcadetype graphics can be hard to navigate — six clicks just to delete all the pictures. Pricey.
Best video of any currently available dSLR, Fully articulated live view LCD, Super kit lens,
Expensive, Lacks total functionality of a true dSLR, Current lens lens selection is thin,
Cameras (like sports cars, camping/adventure gear, professional musical instruments, and top shelf audio/video components) get much more interesting (and expensive) as they increase in complexity - the GH1 is a case in point.BUY the Lumix DMC-GH1 Black...
1280x720pixel highdef video recording with stereo sound, Best EVF we’ve seen, 10X zoom lens that allows continuous AF when shooting video,
Available only as a pricey kit, Noisy at higher ISOs, So far, the kit lens is the only one available that’s optimized for video.
Given the quality of its HD video, the GH1 is more compelling than the G1 was. But it’s quite pricey, since it comes only as a kit with the 10X zoom lens. That’s a useful—and for many people, all-encompassing—range.Nevertheless, we...
Abstract: of the Micro Four Thirds system, Panasonic knew how to surprise the world, and even more with the almost immediate launch of the Lumix G1. At the same time, Panasonic stated that this would not be the end and the highest priority would be given to vid...
