But the GH3 looks great!

Anyone see Jim Jannard in the video?

Ok, so it got wifi...suddenly I want the new iPhone 5 with retina display...and a way to mount it to my rig...and a loupe to put on top of it!

EDIT: Would only suck if a friend called during a shot and his ugly face would suddenly show up instead of the liveview lol

I'm very happy with what I see:

1) The Olympus pro lenses will work - they used the 14-35 in one shot (really nice lens).

2) The body is bigger, but not much higher (lens centre to top) and will still fit in my rig.

Now I want one - but only the body. Hope the price won't be to high.

@gokuan003 Thanks !

Am I the only one who thinks the new look GH3 looks just like a EOS? :-D

All I want to know is..how much will it be. Promo is terrible...im guessing this video was for Photokina

If you are expecting better than hacked GH2 all I frame then you will be disappointed. They still have to warranty this camera and with today's memory cards that isn't going to happen. It still will be better than everyone elses 28 mb/sec 1080p @ 60 FPS though.

I just hope Panasonic doesn't do something stupid and remove something that was needed like when they took away 25p and focus tracking for video.

They wouldn't do something bone headed like remove 24p would they? The rumors site only lists 60/50/30p/25p(I know don't believe everything you read on the internet). However, I wouldn't have believed they would get rid of those other things before.

I still will be disappointed if it does not have some form of 120 FPS or 250 FPS. That will be much better for slow motion.

I guess the 35-100mm F2.8 is going to get over shadowed on Monday. Is anyone else more excited about the new lenses than the new camera bodies?

In case another YouTube posting of the promo video is pulled down, Vimeo presently has it:

I hope DR will be improved. Doesn't look much like it so far. Low-light seems superb though.

Panasonic Engineers are the best. Panasonic Marketing and Distribution are the worst. :-) Better than the other way around. I'm expecting even more surprises on the hardware side.

The DR is the key here for me, hope its a significant improvement over the gh2/gh1

I dont think we see the final cut of it, but the promo is grate. Its very Japanese, as the music is refined, technologicaly advance and playfull. Fits perfectly the video. By showing the pros shooting content, and showing its versatility, GH3 will stablished indeed as the best mirrorless system available for now. Im pretty shure about it. I dont think any OMD series, not even canon or nikon competing here with GH3.

What i get from this video is that is a mature product, finally available. The problem was that by being first in line you have to handle what you cant predict, so after 4 years its here to use it for what it was intended to be at first. A versatile compact system camera.

If it finaly makes up to the "specs", true to what the rumors says, then this will be a massive change in market for several reasons.

-Native Lenses line is very good, perfect for PRO series like to emerge with mature product as it is. -Nikon D4, even if its full frame, still is 16mpx, so... only IF, dynamic range and iso performance is what we expect, then taking pictures will be really good for pro aquisition, as any lens fits the camera. -Video wise is a no brainer for what we know is capable of doing, it cant be worse hardware than GH2, no what panasonic has show us in GH series in time. -The light weight in the system istelf is really amazing, compared to typical DSLR line, and if now GH3 give almost same performance, then is a very compeling pro camera. -Body is almost what we all wished for between DSLR t2i like and GH1. So weight and feel also improved by ergonomics i see on pictures.

So, I spect good solid and calm marketing from panasonic on GH3 line. Its no GF, GX, LX, line any more. Its mature and must be taken little bit away from its little broders and sisters its what i think.

Time code, All i frame, XLR accesorie, beter DR, matured body, and solid line up. Pretty darmn good for a small camera.
