Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 with LUMIX 14-140mm lens Reviews: Digital Micro Four Thirds Camera

+ This fantastic piece of kit is the future of DSLR style cameras.
The lens supplied is of very high quality, is extremely versatile, and is a major part of the cost and value of this package.
Superb video performace with creative capabilities that are impossible to achieve with a camcorder.

- The apparent high price, which is due to the excellent kit lens included. Panasonic should have alternative lower cost options, such as body only.
Lens options are limited at present because the form factor is so new.

+ Full HDTV video. Excellent picture processing.

- Really expensive.

+ Excellent camera, good value for money considering the kit lens and full HD video capabilities. Well made, practical size and easy to use. HD video results are impressive as is image quality once you master the settings.

- Very few... Takes a while to get decent results using AVCHD video format, but worth making an effort to get a decent work-flow set up, as the end results are very impressive. Also need to fiddle with a the various settings to get decent image quality, but thats more a question of my knowledge of photgraphy rather than an issue with he camera. The price... its expensive. But considering everything it can do (in the right hands) and the excellent kit lens, its decent value for money.

+ Very easy to use even for the novice. Excellent control over all.features for seasoned users. One touch full HD video recording so much better than the rest. The lens produces beautiful images. Tried 3 top SLRs before buying this, sent them back - Including Nikon and Canon. This is the best. Low light photography even at ISO 3200 is acceptable. I don't envisage parting with this for a long time and will definitely get the 7-14mm zoom too.

- It doesn't come with a high definition tv cable - unbelievable.

+ Good camera... does what it says in the adverts. Good quality electronically. Easy to use. I really like the flip-n-tilt view finder.

- Expensive, but does what I wanted very well. Some buttons look a little fragile. No AVCHD video viewing or editing software. Errr... the USB lead is quite short.

+ quality (build and image) of product, features

- I think in comparisons to other products (e.g. from Nikon), the prize is still to high, the same for additional lenses

+ Features of an S L R and the ease of use of a compact
