Preorder the camera at amazon US:Panasonic DMC-GH1 12MP Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Camera with 1080p HD Video
This is a rumor coming from photorumors.com.
As a pure photo camera the Pentax K7 will probably deliver a very good quality (read the specs here) but…
…I believed the Pentax K7 will go on par with the Panasonic GH1 in terms of video capabilities. Pentax told us they will make a two generations jump forward. But I am really disappointed with the video potentials from that camera.
Here the reasons:
1) The Pentax K7 does 720/30p only (the GH1 720/60p or Full HD!)
2) The Pentax K7 has only mono microfone input
There is no mention over the compression specifications (the only point where the GH1 doesn’t really satisfy me with his 17MB/s)
I would say the GH1 is still the most usable video DSLR !

The only things they on’t like are the price (and we fully agree) and the High-ISO results.
By the way, I expect price will fall after the Pentax K7 release which should have an incredible video-quality…
It seems dpreview is close to finish their review. They posted a gallery with photos and movie samples. May you take a look on it!

UPDATE: Duarte (see the comment section form this post) has been right, dpreview wrote that the review isn’t ready an it will need time until they will make it.
