Better image and video quality than the G1 and EOS 500D

Expensive, Images on the soft side, possibly due to the kit lens, Not quite as clean as the competition at highest ISOs, Slow kit lens; bulk takes away from the compactness of the GH1, AVCHD movies are a pain to edit, may require additional software purch...
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 is a compact, interchangeable lens camera that does double-duty: it takes photos and high definition video. Unlike most "hybrid" devices, the GH1 pulls both off quite well, though its not without its issues. The GH1 takes ...

Interchangeable lenses; comfortable to use; well constructed; excellent low-ISO photo quality; very nice 720p video; fast autofocus; 10X zoom kit lens; flip-and-twist LCD; mic input.
Expensive; middling high ISO sensitivity image quality for the price; slow kit lens; EVF implementation makes burst shooting difficult.
If youre willing to pay a premium to be on the cutting edge of digital photography and video, and as long as you dont shoot sports or in dark venues, then youll likely love the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1. But if youre simply attracted by the not-to-be...
Manual zoom controls arent smooth, Editing AVCHD video requires a supercomputer

Abstract: Panasonic DMC-GH2 Review March 2011| Barnaby Britton (with additional material by Richard Butler and Uwe Steinmuller) When Panasonic first launched the GH1, its second Micro Four Thirds camera, it was widely seen as simply being a G1 with video shooti...
As a competitor to an enthusiast-level D-SLR, the Lumix GH1 is more than up to the job. It's smaller than most of it rivals except for the Olympus E-620 and it's a better designed camera than this model with the added benefit of HDV recording. Consequentl...
