The GH2 produces excellent quality HD video which looks great in wide-angle. Its autofocus struggles a bit when the subject moves and a 3.5 mm mic input would be a better choice. You can still turn out very good films with it though....
The GH2 is great to use, the features are innovative and add value to the package, and stills and movies are of great quality too. A good all-rounderOverall Our provides the latest photography news, reviews, previews, features and tecniques. Alternat...
The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH2 is a Micro Four Thirds camera that offers a plethora of features for advanced photographers to play with, but it also has an automatic mode so that inexperienced users can also get in on all the fun. Its image quality is gr...

2.5mm mic port, on the expensive side, plasticy exterior

Photo quality fails to live up to the high price, but for videos, the smooth autofocus, extensive options and sublime quality are a winning combination. ...

Very (too) noisy shutter release, Battery life a little on the short side, Electronic viewfinder: accuracy, fluidity and dynamic range could be better, Proprietary USB 2 connection
The Panasonic Lumix GH2 ticks all the right boxes but falls short of a five-star score due to its limited battery life. This camera is great for taking photos and fantastic for shooting videos. It's versatile and effective while still being compact, li...
