Digital Cameras: SLRs, Micro 4/3 and Interchangeable Lens Reviews

with a new generation of cameras with large-format sensors now on the market, we've had to revise the scores previously given to some older models. The Panasonic GH1 therefore now has four stars rather than five, as its poor handling of digital noise has been marked more severely, in line with current market standards.With the GH1, Panasonic has filled the gap left by its first Micro Four Thirds camera: lack of video. The Lumix GH1 is a true hybrid, both camera and camcorder--instead of simply being a still camera with a video mode, like much of the competition. Let's take a look. When it comes to design and build, the Panasonic Lumix GH1differs little from its predecessor, the . It has a compact casing but the handle ensures a good grip. It may be a touch short to really get hold of but let's not quibble: the GH1is very nice to use, especially thanks to its 3 inch rotating LCD screen that displays a great resolution of 460, 000 pixels. The display is fluid in good light conditions but becomes less so in low light at the same time as retaining very low noise levels. The viewing angles are wide but the anti-reflective coating could be improved. In full sunlight, the screen loses legibility in spite of the fact you can increase brightness. One good reason (one of the many) for taking a closer look at the GH1 is the electronic viewfinder.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 Digital Camera Kit

If shooting high-def video is as important to you as shooting still photos, the beginner-friendly Lumix DMC-GH1 is a top option. But it's very pricey--and you must make compromises. The 12-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 ($1500 kit with a stabilized 14-140mm Micro Four Thirds lens as of 8/20/2009) is a unique digital camera that supports interchangeable lenses. Although it looks like a DSLR, the Micro Four Thirds system it uses means that it isn't (more on that here). It's available in gold, black, and red. The DMC-GH1 is smaller than traditional digital SLRs, but not by much (the recently announced Olympus EP-1 Micro Four Thirds camera is much more compact). Its size, friendly menus, and simplified interface boost its appeal to not-quite-novice photographers who want more than a point-and-shoot but are still intimidated by a true digital SLR. Both its ability to let you swap lenses and its support for 1080p video at 24 frames per second (as well as 720p video at 60 fps) make this camera compelling to high-definition videographers. Those added video-shooting chops represent a major upgrade from the GH1's predecessor, the Lumix DMC-G1.

Panasonic Lumix GH1 Digital Camera Review

The basic concept of the Micro Four Thirds format, jointly developed by Olympus and Panasonic, is to create interchangable-lens cameras without an SLR mirror mechanism, relying exclusively on Live View for both lining up shots and autofocusing the camera. Without the mirror, Micro Four Thirds cameras can be smaller, particularly in depth. The Panasonic Lumix G1 was relatively slim when it was introduced last year, though not a radical departure from existing small SLRs. The breakthough achievement for the G1, though, was fast Live View autofocus. For the first time we could shoot subjects in motion in Live View mode and not worry about the focus keeping up, and we applauded, even with some hesitation over image quality. What was missing from the G1, though, was the ability to shoot video, a void that has since been filled by several video-equipped SLRs. Now, with the Lumix GH1, Panasonic responds to the SLR video world with a bang, delivering a camera with the manual control and autofocus ability you'd expect from a high-def camcorder, sadly lacking in video-equipped SLRs to date.

It displays all 480,000 pixels but they are alternately red, green and blue, with retinal persistance recreating the full image.

Panasonic Lumix GH1 review

When the Panasonic Lumix G1, the first Micro Four Thirds camera, was announced at the end of last year, the company promised a version with video to follow. Today, we are more surprised when a new camera doesn’t feature HD video, so its inclusion in the Panasonic Lumix GH1 may not seem revolutionary. However, this diminutive pseudo-SLR camera offers some of the most advanced video features seen on a still camera to date, and some equally impressive creative functions for still shots, too. The Panasonic GH1 has tackled one of the major problems for SLR-styled video – namely, sound. A new lens gives near-silent focusing, enabling the GH1 to offer continuous autofocus during shooting without picking up lens motor noise. For the more advanced users, it also offers the opportunity to shoot video with full manual control and using external microphones, while Panasonic’s own AVCHD video format claims better compression and smoother action. But the Pansonic GH1 promises to be more than just a G1 with added video and, despite its almost identical appearance, some subtle improvements have been made to improve the still shooting capabilities as well.
