The Lumix DMC-GH2 is the new flagship of the Panasonic Micro Four Thirds camera range, which offers interchangeable lenses in a compact package. Our first impressions of this camera are that it adds some useful features (such as 3D images and some new movie modes), but there are a few features missing that we would have liked to have seen to really push the envelope, such as 3D video and a true 1080p 60fps mode.
