Panasonic GH2 Review by Photography blog

Canon and Nikon may have recently made significant strides with their 2010 DLSR models, but they can’t compete with the GH2. The ability to continuously auto-focus during recording is faster on the GH2 than on Nikon’s cameras, with Canon lagging even further behind, and the sheer quality is visibly better than the GH2’s main rivals. click here to read the full review


Panasonic GH2 versus Canon 60D at EOSHD

IMAGE QUALITY

  • Canon 60D – 7/10
  • Panasonic GH2 – 9/10

NOTES ON IMAGE QUALITY VERUS 5D MARK II and GH2
Image quality is subjective. Some have valid reasons for liking the 5D Mark II and it’s full frame sensor. Some will love the 60D’s image. But Canon are now significantly behind Panasonic in terms of the overall video performance.

The Panasonic GH2 resolves significantly more detail with less noise than even the 5D Mark II at ISO 3200.

Best Compact Mirrorless Camera

Thom Hogan tested the four most popular compact mirrorless cameras – Olympus E-PL1, Panasonic GF1, Samsung NX100 and the Sony NEX-5, The best one is Panasonic GF-1.

“I can wholeheartedly recommend the Panasonic GF-1. It’s the top choice due to its handling and wide assortment of lens choices. Two minor drawbacks to consider: no sensor-based stabilization (many of the Panasonic lenses have stabilization, though), and limited high ISO capability. The m4/3 cameras aren’t going to reach the stratosphere of ISO like some APS cameras are starting to. On the flip side, there are plenty of fast lenses for the m4/3 mount already, so it’s not as big a limitation as you might think.”

Ricoh GXR Digital Camera Review

Ricoh GXR Digital Camera Review, the ricoh GXR is an excellent camera system, the GXR gives out usable images even at ISO 3200. The quality of 28 and 50 prime lenses… just amazing.  See what steve Huff say about the Ricoh GXR Digital Camera

Only if you are wanting a camera that delivers fantastic results as a “system”. If you want a 28mm lens that can shoot in low light at 2.5 and give super color, detail, tonality and high ISO performance and also happens to have fast AF and pleasant Bokeh with a sensor perfectly mated to it for optimum results then yea, this is a killer setup read more…
