Panasonic Lumix GH3 launches on December 13th, but pricing remains a secret

Panasonic’s forthcoming mirror-less multimedia wonder has been given a release date. Yep, the Lumix GH3, with its ‘unlimited recording time’ and magnesium alloy build, will arrive in the Land of the Rising Sun just over a month from now. While the Japanese press release doesn’t specify pricing, you can expect this Lumix to arrive in body-only and two lens kit variants, one with a 12-35mm f/2.8 zoom lens, and another with a f/4.0 – 5.8 rig. Behind those optic options (not to mention the ability to capture 72Mbps 60p video), you’ll be getting a 16-megapixel sensor, splash-proof shell and a flip-out OLED touchscreen alongside a 614K-dot viewfinder. If that leaked video sample piqued your interest, check out the full spec rundown at the source below.

Panasonic Lumix GH3 spotted in a leak

Posted in: Today's Chili

Earlier this morning, we spotted the Panasonic Lumix GH3 in a video, and alleged specifications of the Lumix GH3 were also spotted slightly more than a week ago, but until the real deal is announced, there is no real way to confirm anything. You can check out the presentation video of the Panasonic Lumix GH3 here, but it seems that the video has been taken offline by now so as not to spoil the official party, I suppose. Do you like what you see so far?

As a refresher, the Panasonic Lumix GH3 might come with a 16-megapixel “wide dynamic range” CMOS sensor, accompanied by a possible new Venus 7 engine, an electronic shutter, a range of ISO 100 to 12,800, the fastest AF of any interchangeable lens system camera, an integrated stereo microphone, an external battery grip, Wi-Fi connectivity with remote control capability via an iOS/Android app, all crammed into a magnesium alloy body that is larger compared to its predecessor.

Panasonic Lumix GH3 revealed in video

Posted in: Today's Chili

About a week ago, we reported that alleged specs of the Panasonic Lumix GH3 were revealed, some of which included a new 16MP “Wide dynamic range” CMOS sensor, a new Venus 7 engine, WiFi with remote control abilities via iOS and Android devices and a slightly bigger build compared to its predecessor, the GH2. While those specs have yet to be confirmed, a new YouTube video has popped up online and appears to have been uploaded by Panasonic themselves which basically shows off some of the sample photos that were taken by the camera. We’re not sure if this is a leak as the YouTube video is still up there (at least for the moment), so perhaps it was meant as a teaser to whet our appetites for when the camera will be revealed (hopefully) in full at Photokina next week. In the meantime, what do you guys think? Is the GH3 the upgrade to the GH2 you’ve been waiting for?

Panasonic video reveals Lumix GH3 Micro Four Thirds camera: 16MP, magnesium alloy, 60p video

Panasonic video reveals GH3 mirrorless Micro Four Thirds camera

Though the GH3 has yet to be formally introduced to the world, a video has just appeared on an official Panasonic YouTube channel that has either been posted accidentally or is deliberately intended to build hype in the run-up to Photokina. It mainly shows off the GH3 in a range of picturesque shooting situations, but the clip also spills a few key specs, including the presence of a 16-megapixel sensor, a new version of Panny’s Venus Engine processor, a splash- and dust-proof magnesium alloy build and high-definition filming at up to 72Mbps and 60p — although it’s not clear if it handles full 1080 at that high frame-rate. We also see a a flip-out LCD that looks much the same as the GH2‘s, an f/2.8 12-35mm lens attached instead of the 14-42mm or 14-140mm glass that came bundled with that predecessor, and so far only evidence of a traditional black color scheme. Click onwards for the video!

Update: …and just like that, the video has vanished.
