Panasonic Lumix GH3 Digital Camera Review

Image Quality

In our image quality tests the GH3 performed admirably across the board, with JPEGs from the camera showing good color reproduction and excellent sharpness. As you'd expect from a camera with a smaller sensor, there's quite a bit of software post-production at work to get the images to that level, but it's not obtrusive or overwrought, as we've seen in many of the GH3's competitors. Our one hangup with the GH3 compared to some higher-end cameras is the noise levels at higher ISO speeds. The camera's noise reduction keeps the levels in check, but there's little headroom for editing images much beyond that.
