Panasonic has been one of the longest serving photography devices providers in the market. Recently it announced a powerful Lumix DMC-GH2 with a resolution of 16.2, 1080p video capture and with optional lens that have the ability to take 3D photos. This was a great pace considering that Panasonic has had a rough ride in the digital camera market mainly due to stiff rivalry from emerging manufacturers.

There is no doubt that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 is highly priced, but for a serious photographer who knows the value that the gadget is offering in terms of features and capabilities, then it’s definitely worth the investment. This camera is highly flexible and gives amazing photo experience; both for still images and videos as well. There are a number of extreme improvements from the earlier series, but this comes with a more price tag attached.

Perhaps, one of the greatest assets that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 has is optional 3D lens. It gives you an ultra edge to capture images in 3D. This is an amazing feature bearing in mind that 3D photography has immensely taken the world in storm. The camera’s dual lenses create double side by side photos which are then perfectly combined to form a 3D image. What’s more, the images can be viewed in a 3D HDTV. The focal length is also quite impressive; 12.5mm.

Most of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 features come from the earlier GH1. But, there are considerable improvement and additions of new features which makes quite distinct. In fact, looking at the earlier GH1 and the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2, you may be fooled to think they are not from the same family. But I must say Panasonic has a magic way of designing their gadgets such that they easily stand out on their own.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 has a 0.68 X 0.51 inch MOS sensor with about 18 mega-pixels. The output image is of up to 16.2 mega-pixels and has a supersonic wave system that wipes off dirt from the sensor when the gadget is put on. Its 3-inch LCD on the back of the camera also has good resolution, although it’s a bit smaller compared to a number of other digital cameras. The flexibility is also quite good, with several settings to allow you take the best shots on still image as well as video.

If you are a professional photographer or even camera owner for personal use, watch out for Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2.
