[mellraizer]

Gordon you ARE the man!! Any chance for a Lumix GF1 vs Gh1 review when it comes out next week- & i will DEF purchase through your site.. you are an excellent reviewer..:D

[cameralabs]

I'll be reviewing the GF1 when Panasonic sends me one...

[HarlequinJitsu]

Bollocks to the camera, Gordon where do you live? It looks great... Go on tell us. I promise not to steal your washing.

[cameralabs]

It's no secret - I put the data in the statistics tab for every review! It's in Queenstown, New Zealand.

This is why I love cameralabs... the video tours are just fantastic.

Looking to Buy this Camera, (I haven't finished the video so it may answer my question) does it have an electronic view finder, and is that a problem in any way? Also whats the best price yoou can get this for, because it's different everywhere I look?

hah when he says socket it sounds like suck-it

@oyapon i did not quite understand part with 50Mbit... but still, its more expensive than canon, and if lens are more expensive... It looks quite interesting, but i am 95% for 550D.

[oyapon]

@dingo27mobile For movies, the GH-1 is far superior than the 550d and d5000, by far....

GH-1 offers 50Mbit firmware, 28-280mm prime lens and autofocus for movies. (lens is more expensive than body).

For me, it's the perfect machine, for stills and movies. Obvisously, i shoot more videos than stills!

[dingo27mobile]

Dang, i should never watch this! Now i must choose between canon 550d, nikon d5000 and this!

BTW, you can see some videos shoot with SX20 IS in my channel.

Thanks Gordon for your so professional reviews.

[CldntStndThWthr]

Well, here's my point. For what I see, I'm pretty sure Canon SX20 or Pana FZ35 would perform better as a video recorder if you make use of the long end of the lens. Autofocus looks faster and, thanks to CCD there is not any wobble effect, which makes footage unusable. The pros for GH1 would be, of course, better low light performance and a "real" EVF. My concern: the trend goes towards CMOS and I don't think this horrible wobble effect being fixed in the near future. Will SX30 or GH2 use a CMOS?
