Panasonic GF2 vs Canon 600D — And Panasonic GH2 vs hacked GH1
The video on top shows a funny and not so technical comparison between the Panasonic GF2 vs Canon 600D .
M43photo.blogspot (Click here) posted a more detailed GH2 vs GH1 video quality comparison: “One could be tempted to think that the GH1 gives better video quality, due to the twice as high video bitrate. But the GH2 has other advances…it is reasonable to guess that it samples more pixels as a basis for the video output…the GH2 gives somewhat better contrast and sharpness. The GH1 has slightly washed out colours and that the compression algorithm is better. My conclusion so far is that the GH2, even with lower bitrate, gives slightly better video quality.”

One more thing…two lens reviews:
Zeiss (Rollei) 50mm F1.4 tested on the GH2 at EosHD (Click here). The Zeiss is only available on eBay (Click here).
Panasonic 8mm Fisheye Review at E-P1.net (Click here). Check price and availability of that lens at Amazon, Adorama, B&H, J&R, eBay.

Most likely the 60D. That’s what they’ve been using for a while now and it’s Lok’s favorite camera.

I think because they are a retailer, when they compare two products, they’re afraid to say which they thought was best, in case the manufacturers get the hump.

You would even have some money left over to travel or buy some presentable clothes.
Duh.

3 years ago |Yep, the G2 with the 14-140mm would have been a better choice for mirrorless camera. The differences wouldn’t have looked quite as ludicrous.
The only “conclusion” they seemed to come up with was both systems they selected were kind of stupid. They’re really just trying to be cute.
