Lumix GH2 first impressions

[aboudd]

I've been looking for a walkabout alternative to my Nikon D3s for about two months. I was waiting for some of the new cameras - Canon G1x for example to come out when a few friends were pushing me to look into the Lumix GH2. I bought one used and it arrived yesterday. I took this quick shot in early morning light with the lens set at 14MM, ISO 400 @ 3.5 (auto program). I was amazed that there wasn't more distortion of the vertical lines, that bodes well.

I posted the first article about the camera on my blog: Everything Photo

I have a GH2 and like it a lot. I believe that it corrects CA and barrel distortion in-camera for JPEGS and includes correction data in the RAW files for Lightroom. I use LR3 and 4beta and have never noticed any barrel distortion or CA with any of my Panasonic lenses.

I am looking at the new GX1 but have not had it in my hands yet. Does anyone have any feedback for me?

After almost 2 years this Lumix GH2 still a king of MFT world for both still and video. I have 20mm f1.7 and it's a keeper after have tried faster one such 25mm f1.4, companion with Lumix 14-140 and 100-300 lenses you're good to go on the road.
