Panasonic LUMIX G Micro System Digital Camera GH2 - Creative Machine with Full-HD Movie and High-speed Response
The high speed Live MOS Sensor realizes burst shooting in 16.05-megapixel full resolution at 5 fps with mechanical shutter and up to 40 fps (4-megapixel recording mode). This is coupled with a fast, accurate Light Speed AF system. The GH2 employs an 18.31 megapixel sensor but typically uses about a 16.05-megapixel area making it possible to give three aspect ratios – 16:9, 3:2, and 4:3 – with the same angle of view.
The GH2 is capable of recording high-resolution full-HD 1,920 x 1,080 50i movies in the AVCHD format. Sensor output is 50p and high quality sound can also be recorded with Dolby Digital Stereo Creator. In addition, the GH2 has a wide range of movie modes including Manual, 24P Cinema Mode with 23Mbps, Variable Movie Mode and iA Mode. When connected to a Panasonic VIERA television via an optional mini HDMI cable, the TV's remote control unit can be used to control playback for greater convenience.
The GH2 features a touchscreen which can also control shooting. While shooting, touching the desired part of the screen will automatically set focus to this point and release the shutter at the same time. While playing back, you can quickly select an image to view by scrolling through images using the touchscreen. The 3.0-inch 460,000-dot free-angle LCD with touch operation makes both monitoring and shooting comfortable in almost any position.
The Color and Film Modes on offer make it easy to customise colour effects to match your preference or shooting requirements.
When you want to take things easy, setting the camera in the iA Mode employs a combination of functions that makes it easy for anyone to capture beautiful photos and movies.

Stunning HD Video on a full HD screen as well as HD ready. Great compact size for what it does and very pleased with the stills. Great combination to use for a holiday no longer need to take two cameras. Recently bought the F1.7 pancake lens which is great for multi-use as well as taking great night time pics. I have never used a camera as much as this - its such good fun.

Colour Name:Black|Size Name:14-140mm Lens Kit
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2K Digital Camera with 14-140mm Lens Kit - BlackThis is a superb camera that fills my needs for video as well as stills photography. Until now I have used a Panasonic camcorder for video and a mixture of DSLR and compact cameras for normal photographs. I wanted a camera that would provide the best possible video capability. I have briefly used conventional DSLRs which require the 'live view' function for video. They are far too clunky, with very poor focus capability in the 'live view' mode, and any lens adjustments sounds are picked up by the inbuilt mike. The 14-140mm Panasonic lens is specifically built to overcome this problem, and the focus is very fast. The availability of a high-quality electronic viewfinder, plus the fold-out screen (touch-sensitive) for shots at high and low angles, are features that I find invaluable.
No doubt in my mind that this is the leader in the field at the moment, and it has the added bonus of being reasonably light to carry.
Finally, superb delivery service from Amazon.

I read a lot of reviews before I bought the camera because spending this sort of money you want it to be right for you, It had been a long while since I have used an SLR camera but it soon comes back to you, having to zoom in and out by twisting the lens and on this camera it feels good, Its a well made product everthing clicks and moves nice and easy, The 16m pixel makes fantastic quality photos very crisp lines and details even when you zoom in on the pictures, I have had video camera's before and the quality of film from this is second to none, This a good camera for the beginner or someone with a bit more knowledge and wants to do more with their photos, The only down side at the moment is that you can't get hold of a spare Panasonic battery so if your going out for a long days shoot you could run out of power and think of the space you will need to keep all of your photos and movies with 16m pixels and high quality film it takes a lot of space, I would recommend this camera and if you can afford the 14-140mm lens go for it.

Very pleased
Excellent high definition video. Clear, sharp stills. One very minor moan, the lens cap has no attachable cord so every time you remove it you have to place it in your pocket. Read more

Great camera!
Camera:
Still using the kit lens 14-140 which is "ok" (good range but slow). Nevertheless, very very happy with video, haven't mastered the ideal settings for stills yet. Read more

Disappointing
The purpose of this review is to provide buying advice on the GH2 as a camera, not as a camcorder. If you want to shoot video, this review is not for you. Read more
