Panasonic GH1: Like/Dislike
Key: R20090830-100432
Like:
- EVF
- articulated LCD screen
- kit lens sharpness, versatility, rendering, no zoom creep
- multi-aspect ratios with same FOV
- decent AF
- workable ISO 1600
- very usable stabilization
- onboard flash
- small size (*)
Dislike:
- kit lens weight, size, max f4.0
- strap eyelets
- flimsy controls and flaps
- useless scene modes
- lens cap without retainer cord
- worthless neck strap
- small size (*)
Dunno Yet:
- Video
- Battery life
- “film modes”
- menus/UI ergonomics
- JPEG engine
(*) too big to be a compact, to compact to be a SLR, not workable as a rangefinder. This opinion subject to change as smaller lenses are tried.
I will update this post as I find new things to add to either list.
