This video was shot on a Lumix GH2
We're showing off the gorgeous Lumix GH2 compact system camera at The Gadget Show. With its interchangeable lenses, the GH2 looks like a shrunken DSLR but actually uses Micro Four Thirds technology to keep it tiny and portable. It records stunning Full HD video and takes amazing 16MP stills -- and guess what, you can shoot 3D stills too, with the addition of a 3D conversion lens.
At the Panasonic stand, our new range of Lumix cameras are also being showcased, which can also capture 3D stills using the 3D assist feature. Simply take a 20-second video clip and the camera, such as the rugged DMC-FT3, will automatically choose two pictures to create that stereoscopic effect when you view it back on a 3D TV. The DMC-FT3 also features an altimeter, compass, barometer, GPS and is shockproof and waterproof up to 12m, meaning you can take 3D stills in truly extreme locations.
We also have rugged, pocket sized camcorders -- despite their size, the waterproof, shockproof TA20 will shoot in Full HD, with image stabilisation to keep the picture steady even when you're not. And it's just one of a range of easy-to-use Full HD multimedia cameras, also including cool pistol-grip designs.
Beautiful image quality. The only downside is that the recorded audio is via a mini-jack and not the more professional XLR type. I would love to buy this camera for web work, but audio quality is so important that I don't want to compromise the recording by having poorer audio quality. Beautiful images, shame about the audio! However, for photographers or photojournalists it will be fine, but for serious videographers, they may have to look elsewhere or purchase an external recorder.
