If the Panasonic GH1 has appeared on the scene two years ago, there was no such thing in the world of the camera. A relatively small SLR style digital camera, a digital SLR that is not true at all - it uses a 12.1 megapixel Micro Four Thirds sensor, which used the mirror and pentaprism trench box to allow a more compact design - the GH1 accepts interchangeable lenses and is capable of 1080i AVCHD 24fps video recording format HD output sensor. The GH1 also had the continuous autofocus and features a stereo microphone, which makes a good handheld device to store pictures and movies in HD.

Panasonic has something to do for a recall? You start the LUMIX DMC-GH2, a model that is almost identical to its predecessor, but adds some important updates. First, the new Panasonic GH2 18.31 megapixel Live MOS sensor with a top speed of reading and make a full HD 1080i video with 60p sensor output, to facilitate the circulation in high definition. (There is also a video mode of the Panasonic GH2, which takes 1080p at 24fps for that looks like a film like that.) Since the sensor is used in Panasonic 18.31 Megapixel several aspects strategy, the maximum resolution of 16 megapixels .

A faster processor in the Panasonic GH2, called Venus Engine FHD, and the overall speed has improved, according to Panasonic. The new processor uses three processors in a variety of tasks quickly. 24Mbps - -, 24 fps means HD video should look stellar in terms of video can take GH2 at a rate faster than its predecessor.

For photographs, the new processor has doubled the speed of autofocus from the previous model, according to Panasonic, the good news is because of the contrast AF can be used in a mirror under the camera slower than molasses. Estimates Panasonic Lumix GH2 can concentrate the power in 0.099 seconds. (The GH1 is 0.2 seconds.)

Panasonic also claims that the GH2 is the image processor to give a higher dynamic range, reducing the image noise at high ISO. (This is also a welcome improvement, as opposed to GH1 high ISO.) Panasonic GH2 is the maximum resolution of 160 to take up to ISO 12800. Yet the image burst rate has improved, with the GH2 capable of up to 5 fps at full resolution with mechanical shutter of the shooting and 40fps with 4 megapixel camera with an electronic shutter.

Like its stable mate, the G2 is the Panasonic GH2 articulating three-inch LCD touch screen allows you to focus in the design of the video recording by simply touching the screen. There is also the touch control, reading, typing surveillance, touch and timer. As a mini-HDMI GH2 GH1 is included on the Panasonic, but unfortunately no HDMI cable is included.

The Panasonic GH2 sells for $ 1500, with hybrid video / still Lumix G Vario HD 14-140mm f4-5.8 Mega OIS Zoom Lens Kit for $ 1000 with a Lumix G VARIO 14-42mm 3.5 to 5, $ 6 and OIS 900, single agency.
