Panasonic GM1 review - another pocket cinema camera » EOSHD.com. Thursday, 05 December, 2013 23:05 The GM1 is a mini GH3 with some rather interesting new technology under the hood (a sensor that does a full pixel 4.5K readout in silent shutter mode) for just $749 (with 12-32mm lens) - but could the unthinkable be true and it actually shoots better video than the GH3?
The GM1 is an extremely small camera, even smaller than the Pocket Cinema Camera and not for everyone. It has possible pro-filmmaking uses as a stealth camera, vehicle mounted camera or B-camera. It certainly has use as a crash-camera or something you put in a VERY tight corner to get an unusual angle where a big camera won’t fit. But enthusiasts I feel will love this camera because it is A) cheap B) small and C) an improvement in some ways on the flagship GH3.
New Panasonic sensor The GM1′s new sensor is a generation on from the older Sony sensor in the GH3 and made by Panasonic this time. Video quality The GM1 is a surprise in low light. Lenses and form factor How stealthy is it?

The creative expression made possible by these innovations, render even the finest textures in intricate detail, breaking new ground in photographic realism. And its magnesium alloy frame is tightly sealed to resist splashes and dust, making the DMC-GH3 rugged enough to withstand the rigors of professional use. The DMC-GH3 features a special heat-dispersing design for extended high-quality recording.
