Product Description

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 verdict

Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-GH1 is one of the most complete cameras we’ve tested, and one that achieves a number of ambitious goals. Unlike many rivals where features like Live View and video recording are often compromised and feel bolted-on to satisfy marketing demands, they’re core and very capable parts of the GH1’s specification. Then there’s things like the screen which is not just fully-articulated, but also large and detailed, when most cameras force you to choose one over the other. It’s not just about gadgetry either, as Panasonic has taken care over the traditional photographic respects with good controls and a stabilised super-zoom kit lens.

This becomes all the more impressive when you remind yourself the GH1 is only the second model to be based on the recent Micro Four Thirds Standard, and lest we forget, from a manufacturer that isn’t one of the original photographic brands. To succeed in today’s market, Panasonic needed to hit the ground running with the Micro Four Thirds, and it certainly hasn’t disappointed.

Much of what makes the GH1 special and unusual has been seen before in the original Lumix G1, the model which launched the Micro Four Thirds standard. Both cameras are virtually identical, other than the GH1’s video recording capabilities, which physically add stereo microphones and a record button to the exterior.
