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.

Home Cooking - Panasonic GH2 Video by Philip bloom

A little test film of my adorable mum cooking lunch for the three of us.

Shot on a GH2 in 24p “Cinema Mode” using one single lens. The wonderful Voigtlander 25mm F.95. This lens and this camera are soul mates!

Big thanks to mum for her patience whilst I shot this!

Panasonic AF101 Video

Hirano San was the lovely driver who took us around Kyoto, Japan. This is a film I made of the day in a very rushed, episodic day of going to place to place.

I was there with 5 other shooters (which makes it much harder to shoot as you are tripping over each other!) as guests of Pansonic to test out their 95% finished Panasonic. AF100/101. We were there to give them honest feedback and thoughts on their new camera, not just wow, great camera! Really great idea to do this.

Read more about the trip and my thoughts on shooting with the camera on my blog, including the lenses I used and why.

Also there is a detailed audio commentary there. Worth a listen!!
