Good Points
Stacks of features and fantastic video quality right out of the box. Loads of manual controls. Great lens (14-140), really flexible range, nice sharp results.
Bad Points
Bigger than later G series bodies, not much smaller (if at all) than an entry level DSLR. Quite heavy with 14-140 lens. Pricey as this bundle.

    Summary: Not all it's cracked up to be.

    Conclusion: The DMW-BLC12 battery takes over 2 hours to charge but lasts for about 150 shots under normal LCD and OIS usage, which was disappointing. The manufacturer claims a 320 shots battery life which is either too ambitious or maybe I was doing something...

    Pro : Articulated screen, Four aspect ratios, Advanced HD mode with manual controls, Buttons customization

    Cons : High noise in low light, Insufficient grip with large lenses, Small buffer for burst mode, Poor image quality straight out of the camera

    Summary: Thanks to its mirror-less design and smaller image sensor, the DMC-GH2 boasts a considerably smaller body when compared to fully-fledged SLRs

    Conclusion: The DMC-GH2 is one of the best micro four third cameras we’ve tested, it’s a great performer in terms of both still images and video capture.

    Summary: This follow-up to Panasonic's GH1 camera sticks with the previous model's look and feel but adds some important upgrades and features.

    Pro : Blazing autofocus. Faster bit rates for better HD video quality. Touchscreen tracking lets you pull focus in video using just your pinkie. Superb mic for outdoor shooting

    Cons : Feature-laden to the point of feeling bloated. Pricey
