Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 (black, with 14-40mm lens)

THE GOOD: Excellent video quality; articulating display with generally good touch-screen interface; variable frame-rate movie mode. THE BAD: Annoying AVCHD-imposed limitations for video; no way to lock AF area on touch screen; middling battery life. THE BOTTOM LINE: Its speedy, feature-packed, and an excellent ILC for shooting video, but to consistently get really good photos out of the Panasonic...

Panasonic DMC-GH2 HDSLR

For video enthusiasts looking for larger sensors, shallow depth of field, autofocus, and fixes to many of the problems of HDSLRs in the past, the Panasonic DMC-GH2 is the perfect choice. Though its sensor is smaller than other comparable cameras, the ability to output full HD over HDMI, to tilt and pan the LCD, and a low price make this camera worth taking a look.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 | w/ 14-140mm

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 is a well-received hybrid DSLR that’s compatible with all four-thirds lenses via adapter mounts, and also compatible with Panasonic’s 3D lens, though a firmware update is required. It hosts the same aesthetics as its predecessor, the DMC-GH1, but adds along an enhanced 16MP multi-aspect LIVE MOS sensor, a faster Venus Engine FHD processor with three cores,...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 review at Camera Labs

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 delivers one of the most satisfying and uncompromised experiences from a hybrid camera to date. Still photo quality is as the best we've seen from the Micro Four Thirds standard and keeps-up with APS-C sensors at low to mid sensitivities even with its boost in resolution, while autofocus is very snappy, proving contrast-based systems can actually out-perform...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 Review

Though most of today's digital SLRs and CSCs can do video, only a few are made for video, among them the Panasonic GH2, whose sensor and autofocus system are tuned for both stills and video. Capable of capturing 16-megapixel stills and 1080i HD video, the Panasonic GH2 has a faster sensor and a Venus Engine FHD processor, both tuned for recording video at a faster bit rate than the GH1.
