The Panasonic Lumix GH3 is a bold step into pro-like territory for a compact system camera. As well as a brand new 16-megapixel sensor, the rugged and splash-proof GH3 also throws in more video capture options than you can shake a stick at. However, w...
Video capture is as good as it gets, feature-packed, fast single autofocus, pinpoint autofocus mode, best continuous autofocus of any CSC we've yet seen, wireless and PC socket flash control, sturdy (internal) build, lots of lenses on offer...
It's pricey, continuous autofocus won't quite match a mid-pro DSLR, no 1/48 180 degree shutter for cinematic capture, sensor not quite as capable as some APS-C competitors, plasticky appearing exterior, single SD card slot, no ISO 100 sensitivity...
Packed with features, exceptional on the video capture front, but otherwise a bit bulky and certainly pricey. Despite the GH3's obvious improvements over its predecessor, including in the image quality department, it's the significant price jump which...

The video quality is sensational. The company is obviously aiming at the professional videographers who have already made the GH2 a piece of preferred gear. Still images are good, particularly when saved RAW.

Panasonic Lumix GH3 review The Lumix GH3 is Panasonic's flagship Micro Four Thirds compact system camera. Launched in September 2012 it replaces the Lumix GH2 and Panasonic hopes to build on the earlier model's reputation for combining DSLR-like handl...
Weatherproof construction and great controls, Wide range of movie formats with high bit rate encoding up to 72Mbps, Big, bright, stable 16:9 1,744k dot OLED EVF, External mic and headphone sockets, Interval shooting and HDR modes, Excellent still image quality, Extended battery life to 540 shots, Built-in Wifi with excellent smartphone remote control.
Not weather proof when flash is in use, Wi-Fi slow and unreliable for image transfer in my tests, Average continuous shooting for a semi-pro body, Rear control wheel difficult to operate.
The Panasonic Lumix GH3 is a worthy succesor to the GH2. The redesigned sensor and updated processor provide a raft of enhancements to its video capabilies which will delight existing GH series owners, some of whom have been relying on firmware hacks...
