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...
Abstract: Judging it solely on its video capability, the Panasonic GH1 ($1499.95 MSRP) is a strong camera. It is the first video-capable DSLR that truly offers the gamut of manual controls that we expect to see from such a device. This isnt all that surprising ...
Abstract: The Lumix GH1 is the first micro four-thirds camera to offer the extensive camcorder-style controls and continuous auto focus that video-enabled SLRs to date have lacked. ...
JPEG output shows impressive detail at base ISO, Good resolution, even slightly more in RAW, Good balance between noise reduction and detail retention at higher ISOs, Good control over high ISO noise reduction, Smaller dimensions and lighter than comparab...
Comparatively steep tone curve (JPEG) can lead to highlight clipping, Relatively small amount of RAW headroom, Fairly low powered flash (but good flash metering), Electronic viewfinder difficult to use in low light (noisy image and greatly reduced refresh...
When Panasonic launched the first Micro Four Thirds camera, the DMC-G1, in September last year the lack of a video recording capability was a surprise to consumers and reviewers alike. After all this feature is usually available on even the cheapest d...
