  • You forgot 2 VERY important points:

    1. The EVF of GH1/G1 is extremely usable and bright with 100% coverage. It has certain limitations but to briefly mention it as an EVF is like saying a quad-core CPU is just another CPU.

    2. The GH1 is expensive because its kit lens is a 14-140mm 10X zoom. It's not like Nikon/Canon entry-level DSLR kit which includes cheap bad kit lenses.

  • The comment was being made more on the fact that the Olympus doesn't have an EVF rather than that the Panasonic does.

    On the price point we still consider it to be expensive despite the good lense you get with the kit. It is still around a grand for just the body.

  • Why would you hold the lens like that? Why not support it from underneath instead of pressing down on it....

  • Thanks Kirk Cameron.

  • Great video keep up the good work.

  • @WhichWebsite You forgot the fact that it actually has autofocus in video..

  • I worked at a company called Tetracam which pioneer the first commerically available digital camera.

  • @contactdavee Hey, I'm British does that make me officially (someone who at least sounds like) a pro?

  • @contactdavee Or a chav if you get it wrong :p

  • I need to get a british accent. Instantly makes you sound like a professional.

  • are micro four thirds cameras better than cameras such as canon g12 or samsung ex1?
