Description: The
Panasonic GH1 is a Micro 4/3rds
camera that has had high expectations for a while.
The GH1, with a lens, features 12MP (although the
sensor is 14MP) images, 1080p HD
video at 24p, 720p HD video, and stereo microphones (plus a headphone
jack.) Pogue notes that Canon and Nikon were the first to offer HD
video in
digital SLR
cameras and that now
Panasonic has gone further with allowing for better auto-focusing while filming. Additionally, the
Panasonic GH1 allows users to
film clips for as long as they would like to. In contrast, the Canon and Nikon versions only permit filming for a certain amount of time.
