Nothing cracks, karzt or feels unwertig.
Aluminiumgehaeuse with rubber grip,

The better of the two.
Connection of metal, clean, smooth movement back in.
Heavy (not too much) but very valuable and enjoyable.
Good lens cap the other with the lens hood and can be removed.
Menu:
Very getting used to, baffling, illogical menu.
Coming to the end, you have to back all the way, it does not jump to the beginning,
which is very time consuming and annoying when setting the values.
So you have to wade through all the main menu isovalues to come back to the beginning,
the Quick menu goes perfectly .... but very illogical.
At the top of the menu you can see the page numbers of Menus-
but it is not possible to navigate in these directly into it,
you have to wade through all the menu items in 7 pages but time consuming again.
The menu has a very noticeable delay, especially the Quick Menu.
It explains not only be selected in the main menu!
No help desk Fink, Summary ect. memorize or take instructions
is mandatory here.
Camera / battery - feel and operation:
The camera grip is definitely too small.
When 45-200 Camera is too front heavy and you have to almost opposite brace
to keep them safe. My impression was that a preprogrammed slip out of hand.
The control buttons are too small, you just have to press almost with your fingernail.
The D-pad is too small, the buttons close together.
The dial is hard to turn, the resistance is too large.
All buttons have double, triple or more assignments,
in almost any camera mode you do anything else, but here probably brings the
Daily handling routine, at the beginning it's a bit too much.
The touch panel often has a delay,
to bring the focal point to the desired position and to trigger
not so easy, as shown in the promotional video.
The battery cover does not close automatically and must be locked.
The battery was charged in just one hour with only low heat generation, very good.
I was with a cargo 300 images make (retrospect often used).
In my model, the retrospect images were viewfinder and on the display
blurred than in the viewfinder / monitor before triggering, the PC but ok (Bug?)
Shortly after triggering one saw clearly blur the image.
A judge of the images is so difficult.
This error has been known from the GH2, see:
[...]
Image quality, AF, video ect .:
High speed autofocus with photo and video.
Face Detection and AF Tracking function well and quickly.
The multi-field focus should be shut down immediately,
He usually does not the sharp, whatever you want.
Here the 1-field mode provides a remedy. This can easily be moved to all parts of the picture.
Super Pinpoint Mode
the magnification of the targeted point is impeccable,
manual focusing is a breeze.
The image quality was the main reason to return the camera for me.
Whenever the camera is compared with entry-level DSLR, it can in my opinion
not to meet this requirement. Compared it has the quality of a
good compact.
The pictures show too little details are blurred, veiled and often blurred.
I have done about 1000 pictures in every conceivable manual and automatic modes,
the Committee was simply too high. Backgrounds were blurred even with aperture 22,
Discontinued colors in blurred contours like a watercolor.
In 16: 9 mode, the camera has only 12 million pixels, so missing important details in magnifications.
Even ISO 800 has strongly rustled, night had a yellow tinge.
Videos goods a little too dark to see clearly the rolling shutter effect.
Each prospective buyer should definitely view this post in the Lumix forum ([...]):
[...]
My results were a bit better but similarly modest.
Conclusion:
a great piece of technology that is not yet mature.
The camera can NOT replace DSLR. It is the small 2, if you do not want to haul times.
But in this image quality I drag you!
Now you can probably give the kit lenses complicity, but lack of credible alternatives.
It lacks bright Zoom + telephoto lenses.
It was laid too much emphasis on bright fixed focal lengths in Pancake format.
Here is a list of matching lenses:
[...]
Many start with f4.0, others require adapters eliminate the many functions.
If Panasonic, as shown in all the forums and commercials, will be a real alternative to DSLR,
has the image quality, even improve the noise performance and the feel and the lens array are strongly enhanced with original Panasonic Micro Four Thirds mount lenses at the G3.
