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

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.
