Panasonic Lumix GH1 Video Intro Panasonic announced the Lumix GH1 Micro Four Thirds camera this March at the annual PMA tradeshow. It was the biggest announcement of the show and a solid follow-up to the first Micro Four Thirds camera and last year’s camera of the year, the Panasonic Lumix G1. Like the G1, the GH1 is a “system” camera with changeable lenses and a 12-megapixel Four Thirds sensor. The GH1 is basically the same as the G1 as far as still shooting goes, but it adds 1080p HD video capture and a new silent auto focus, 10x image-stabilized kit lens. Although it looks a lot like a digital SLR the GH1 is smaller and has an EVF (electronic viewfinder) instead of an optical through-the-lens viewfinder.

It took a few months and some persistence but I finally got a GH1 to test. The first thing I did was make a short hands-on video overview of the camera features and specs. For a closer look at the GH1, click on the video below. I’m working on a longer review but thought it would be nice to share the video now.

If you’ve got questions about the Panasonic GH1 go ahead and post them in the comments section at the bottom of the page. I’ll do my best to answer them right away and they’ll help me write a better review. I’ve been shooting as much as possible with the camera and I’ll post samples from the field as well as our usual high-res studio sample photos. If you own a Panasonic GH1 please write your own review on the user review page. User reviews are the foundation on which this site was built – please share your experience.

    I’m thinking about getting a Gh1 and a few c-mount lenses. ive seen on youtube and flickr that a 8mm lens will have horrible vignetting, 10mm isn’t too bad, but im wondering what the vignetting would be like with a 12mm or 15mm
