First of all, I bought a G1 when it was released just a while back (read my review too). It was love at first sight and till now I still absolutely adore it. It's cute, light, takes great stills and best of all - it was extremely FUN to use. The interface was very user-friendly and the iA mode kept things simple for my point & shoot moments. It was HARD not to like the G1! Anyway, a few months later Panasonic announced the GH1. I was excited. Full HD videos in that compact body? What!! Then they announced its release price. £1299? They must be joking. But they weren't. I hesitated a bit at first but eventually I gave in to temptation (and became a thousand pounds poorer). So here I am, now a proud owner of the GH1. And this review is about the GH1 and the 14-140mm kit as a whole, not just the camera body.
Let me be clear: People looking to buy the GH1 do not buy significantly better still image quality. In fact, if you're reading this review, you probably know about it already. Heck, the 14-45mm G1 kit lens actually performs very slightly better than the 14-140mm GH1 kit lens at the 14-45mm range. The good bit? The flexibility of the 28-280mm focal length (after taking the crop factor into account) is much, much handier than you think. A superzoom lens isn't for pixel peepers. So if you're looking for pro-quality images, look elsewhere. Skip the four-thirds and APS-C formats too. You're better off spending the money on a full frame DSLR body. For those who are still interested in learning more about the GH1, do continue reading.
THE GH1 AT FIRST LOOK:
The layout of the GH1 is certainly similar to the the older G1. Again, it has a nice rubberised finish and feels very well-built. Surprisingly, my newer and more expensive GH1 body is 'made in China', whereas the older G1 is 'made in Japan'. While irrelevant, I felt a bit cheated when I saw this (but got over it pretty soon). The interface, just like the G1, is very intuitive and gives photographers the manual control they need (albeit in a simple and straight-forward fashion). The creme de la creme? The newly-added video capture button which allows you to take videos instantly, even while in photo capture mode! This means you won't miss out on any important video moments while using the GH1. High five for you new fathers! The single caveat in the new GH1? It's simply less well-balanced than the G1 in terms of handling. The new 14-140mm lens weighs more than the body which makes things a bit weird, especially after using the G1 with the excellent 14-45mm. Still, this is just a personal opinion. Do try it for yourself.
THE GH1 FOR STILLS:
Superzooms do come with compromises, deal with it. Overall image quality is great, with the tele end being a bit softer at wider apertures. The OIS also works wonders, as in the G1. Now to satisfy your curiosity: the image quality of both the G1 and GH1 are virtually indistinguishable at lower ISO settings. However, I can certainly see an improvement of the high ISO noise control over the G1. The GH1 now takes perfectly acceptable stills at ISO 1600, whereas anything above ISO 800 for the G1 was pretty hard to work with. Plus, I can make great small/medium prints with the GH1 even at ISO 3200 (in certain conditions). Also, the autofocus of the GH1 'feels' faster, although I might be wrong about this one. In short, it's hard to fault the GH1 as a high-end digital still camera. Do take note that in low light situations the slow aperture range (f/4.0-5.8) does feel 'limiting'.
THE GH1 FOR VIDEOS:
This is where the £1300 price tag starts to make sense. And this is the main reason anyone would consider buying the GH1 over the G1. Ever shot full HD 1080p 24fps videos with stereo sound in a digital camera? No? Then you don't know what you're in for. There are so many things which make the GH1 such a great video recorder: FULL HD capture, the 28-280mm focal length, great stereo sound (and even better with the optional mic), the continuous auto-focus, the manual controls, shallow depth-of-field, quiet stepless aperture control... and so on. This has got to be the best video experience ever for still photographers, you've just got to try it to believe it. 5D Mark II? What, no articulated screen? Oh boy.
CONCLUSION:
Of course, you can blab all day about buying both a decent DSLR and a good consumer camcorder to get the best of both worlds. Then again, I do not want both a DSLR and a camcorder when I'm on a vacation. I want something which allows me to take great holiday stills and videos simulatenously with the least compromise on quality, all in one small package. The GH1 does just that. Plus I can just enjoy myself and not miss out on any importany moments, without needing to lug around multiple gadgets (or lenses).
Yes my Nikon D700 and 24-70/70-200 f2.8 combo takes better still images anyday, but the kit weighs a lot more and isn't exactly the traveller's best friend. And it doesn't take videos too.To be honest, the GH1 doesn't come cheap and will certainly be tough for most to justify its cost. To conclude, it doesn't get all five stars for the steep pricing and slightly worse handling. However if you're able to live with the compromises and the cost of this convenient little thing, you'll find that you have an awesome piece of technology waiting to remind you of how fun photography/cinematography(?) is.

I always wanted a proper high quality hybrid camera and I can say that this is the one to get. It takes brilliant HD videos in stereo and the still photos are amazing. I just came back from a family trip to the Jurassic Coast. It took brilliant photos and videos of the trip. Usually, hybrid cameras have very poor video capabilities. I have a video camera but it takes poor quality photos. I am no professional photographer but this camera does both jobs very well. I no longer need to take a camera and a video camera on trips. It really kills two birds with one stone. One more thing that makes this great is that the videos I take with my GH1 plays on my PlayStation 3 (videos need to be in ACVHD format)!! Just insert the SD card into the PlayStation 3 and you can view both the photos and the videos. I have loads of .mov files in my NAS drive that I cannot view with my PlayStation 3. Those days are now gone. Now I can store all the GH1 videos on my NAS and watch all the videos via my PlayStation 3 as well...but this time in HD!!
The only problem is the price. It is very expensive. As my wife was visiting her family in Japan, I had her buy it in Japan for 65% of UK price...Why are Japanese goods in the UK still so expensive?

I use this camera privately and to take soem pictures of skin conditions.
It is handy easy to use and has a good battery life. Is has a solid feel to it and fit well into my average hands. the viewer is excellent in most conditions.The lens included is sufficient for most situations, a macrolens is not necessary. The details of picures takes is excellent even in not perfect light conditions for small objects. The deatil of landscapes is good enough to allow for croping and still for a sharp A4 image.The picutes load fast into emeory and the camera starts up in no time.
The menu allows for extensive customisation.
This is now as good a any film camera I ever had and and as easy to use. I can wholeheartedly recommed it.

Great little camera, with all the features of the larger DSLR cameras. I love the coloured body - mine is blue. Shame the lens shade causes a shadow when using the flash.
By Mr. S. Kennedy
this was my wifes birthday present, it arrived very swiftly, and the service was impeccable.
By Mr. Geoff Crowther (Lutterworth, Leics)
A really superb camera! Simple or more complex depending upon what you want it to do for you. At the simplest setting (Ai) it can cope with virtually anything, but you have the flexibility of a more advanced camera (including producing Raw files) if you need it. I 'downgraded' from a Canon SLR, a 20D. I wasn't using the camera because it was just too heavy to carry around. This camera is so light I have no problems and it goes with me virtually everywhere. I was originally worried by the idea of using an LCD viewfinder. I needn't have worried, the viewfinder is SUPERB! As well as giving a very good image it also gives a lot more visible information about the operating of the camera than is possible with a normal SLR, and you are not really aware (except in poor light when it isn't quite as good) that it's not a direct viewfinder.

Love this camera, but it was a bit scary. For me it was to much to remember to take a good photo. This would be great for some one who would like take professional photos and make a profession. I returned it and got a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38EB. Which I love.

This camera is fantastical.

Great camera, I am new to this kind of camera having only had little digital ones, everything seems to work great, and the best part about it , there is a book with it !! thankyou panasonic for that it means if i'm stuck i can just look in the booklet and not wait until I am at my computer to load a disc, find what it is i need to find etc etc. I love the feel of it , it fits into my hands perfectly. oh yea and the pictures look great too. No one can possibly be disappointed with this camera. I love it so much I will invest in another lens so my pics will be even better.
By Mr. D. Parkinson (England)
I am delighted with this Camera it seems to do what I want it's just taking the time to use it properly but up to now it's ideal. I actually bought it for when we go back to kenya in two year time but bought it now then i have time to get to know how to use it Panasonic Lumix G1 Digital System Camera Kit - Red (12.1MP)
By Sam-Theo (Leicester.UK)
Well not quite - as this is a very sedate and attractive red. It could almost be a conversation piece during a portrait session. Only time will tell.
Few surprises: Watching this 'product-in-action' on Amazon site, towards the end of the clip it announces "Made in Japan" - however the body and the battery definitely have "Made in China" inscribed (?Trades Description!!)
A very pleasant surprise (not mentioned in the 'box contents')is a comprehensive manual in a BOOK form, THANK YOU PANASONICS. (A matter over which I fell out with Canon sometime back).
The box also contains a soft case and a lens hood/shade for the supplied lens which reverses for storage.
The Lens (Made in Japan): Most interesting feature of this lens is that unlike all Panasonic cameras in upper price bracket, the name LEICA is missing and replaced by LUMIX, though ASPH is still there - mind boggles. In my limited experience with this lens, it totally lacks the 'bite' Panasonic LX3 lens (with almost identical zoom range) is capable of.
The manual zoom-ring takes some getting used to, but its advantages soon become apparent, especially on battery drainage.
Camera+Lens: Has very solid as well as a heavy (considering size) feel to it. For a SLR it is small, for a compact it is too big to be a pocket/handbag camera. Positive aspect of this is that the controls are very easy to find and operate.
The 'optical' view finder, which I used almost all the time,is adequate but nowhere as good as true pentaprism viewfinder.
SO WHAT IS IT: It is not a true SLR, it is not a compact, it is not a bridge-camera. I can only call it " an oversize compact snap -shooting camera with interchangeable lens".
Do I regret buying it? - NO
Will I rush out and buy its compatible long lens? NO WAY. My TZs give me all the long focal lengths (plus more) I need with comparable quality.
Do I get a lot of pleasure out of using it? - A DEFINITE YES.
