Panasonic Lumix GH2 First Impressions Review

$849.99

Ease of Use

The G2 is a complex camera, and the number of buttons and controls on it reflect this. This could be intimidating to a new user, but the camera is well designed overall to guide the user through the shooting process. In particular, the camera puts the most commonly used controls on the quick menu, which can be accessed with a press of the Q.Menu button.

Size & Handling

In our limited hands-on time with the GH2, we found that it fitted well into the hand, with no major handling issues, although the relatively light weight of the camera means it could get a little unbalanced when teamed with a larger zoom. Even the 14-140mm zoom kit lens option that we show in our photos feels a little front heavy.
