Another GH1 review – photographyblog

Share

The review comments on video but doesnt provide any analysis or samples, although there is a good collection on it’s video page. I haven’t yet read the whole review, but from the conclusion, “Colours are accurate when using the default Standard setting, with lots of scope to adjust the JPEG output to suit your own tastes, and the auto white balance is spot-on in most lighting conditions”.

In terms of handling, “It delivers a near-seamless Live View experience which doesn’t feel as though it has been literally forced into the overall design, as with the Live View function on the majority of DSLRs. The combination of the high-resolution, swivelling LCD screen and the outstanding electronic viewfinder is a joy to use.”

For more, read the review: http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/panasonic_lumix_dmc_gh1_review/

The review is pretty much summarised by his closing comment:

“The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 is the best attempt yet at implementing video recording on a DSLR-like camera. The combination of high price, compulsory kit lens and so-so image quality in low-light conditions won’t make it suitable for everyone though.”

I am personally quite disappointed that Panasonic are crippling their product by not making it available to everyone. It may end up creating ‘tiers’ within the Micro FourThirds camera hierachy, something for users of the cheaper cameras to upgrade to.

received new rumors today:

2) Video Record can use 6 ART Fliters

3) With the m4/3 – 4/3 adapter your E-P1 can autofocus normal four thirds lenses!!!

The most important news for me is point 3!

Olympus Australia

Share

I received this information few days ago:

“Olympus Australia are going to start giving away a FL-36R or Vertical grip with E-30 kits from the first of June. Because they feel E-620 has been taking sales, and the E-30 has not been as popular in Australia as it has in the rest of the world.

Panasonic Australia are expecting a delivery of G1H around the 10th of June, they should be in the stores a few days after this.”

Many thanks to the one who gave us the info!
