This looks good so far. Some specs of the "PAL"-model:
- Large sensor
- 1080p @ 25 fps recorded as 50i AVCHD stream with 17 Mbps (just like my Canon HF100)
- 720p @ 50 fps with 17 Mbps AVCHD compression
- 720p @30 fps with M-JPEG compression
- Manual shutter speed and arperture
- External stereomic input
- Fast contrast autofocus in movie mode
- Silent auto focus with G Vario HD 14-140mm lens
Panasonic GH1 page
I can't wait to see full size sample movies. I wished it had 720p @ 25 fps with 17 Mbps.
The GH1 together with the G Vario HD 14-140mm lens will be available in May 2009 for about 1500 EUR.
This sure looks cool:
