Testing the sound quality of the built in microphone of the Panasonic GH2. In the video I switch between the soundtrack recorded by the GH2 Mic and a Zoom H4N recorder. Just playing around on an ARP 2600 analog synthesizer. This vintage machine features built in loudspeakers (not that good), which I was using for this test video. Video footage was a bit color graded.
More "Panasonic Lumix GH2" and "Vintage Synthesizer" videos are coming up on this channel:

The synthesizer is probably the worst thing to test sound on, as it lacks both bass and the sort of transient high frequency sounds that show up 'colouration' and resonances. A cymbal, or a crisp packet! are good tests at the high end. You might be interested in the adapters for the GH2 (and EOS5d etc) that I designed to correct both level and bass response for each specific camera type. See demo's of this and the Minisonic microphone kit at the Lindos Electronics Youtube channel.

The reverb picked up on the mic version sounded better :)

@CoolColJ , The ARP 2600 has a built in spring reverb. It has a pretty unique sound. Thanks for your comment.

@mchamber4 Thanks for the comment. An external audio field recorder usually records better audio quality than a camcorder or HDSLR.
