Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 review

Comments

Added by dfswan |  March 29 1.7 million dot OLED viewfinder Thanks for the great review. You mentioned that the GH3 had a 1.4 Mpix viewfinder (same as the Olympus EM-5 and other previous Lumix cameras) but it in fact has a 1.7 million dot OLED viewfinder. It must be the OLED because there is no comparison between this excellent viewfinder and the others. It is so good in fact, that I far prefer this WYSIWYG viewfinder to our Nikon 5100 optical viewfinder. Along with its smaller silent focus lenses and great video, it is truly the “Goldilocks” camera for serious photographers and videographers.  There is no other camera like it! Reply

Actually, all of them are within a margin of error of your tests, so it is 99.9% the same sensor as the 3 2012 Olympuses (E-M5, E-PM2, E-PL5). DR of 12.4 EV is curios as the cameras have 12 bit RAW format. :) Reply

Added by peevee |  February 15 Mistake in the review of GH3. There is a mistake here: "The video capture is full HD: 1080i". The video is actually 1080p, and 60p if needed. Reply  | Read all replies for this comment

Added by RickPick |  February 14 Test should mention (at least) the video features When comparing the GH3 with other mirrorless hybrid cameras (price/performance) the video features of the GH3 should also be included in the comparison. The video specs are far better than any other hybrid or DSLR camera except at a much higher price. Reply  | Read all replies for this comment
