 Hey guys, it's David with The Verge and we're here at Photokina 2012 in Cologne, Germany checking out Panasonic's new Lumix GH3. Except we're not actually at a bar. We're at Panasonic's massive booth inside a huge convention center in Cologne. But bar or no bar, what's interesting is this new camera, the Lumix DMC GH3. It's the successor to 2010's GH2 and the GH2 was never really a pro camera, but pros really loved it. They wanted to take it and change some of the bit rates and up some of the features. And so what Panasonic did with this camera was actually bring a lot of those features into the new model. So it's the same 16 megapixel sensor, it has a new tilting LCD, it has an improved viewfinder, the autofocus has been improved. Basically across the board it's designed to work just like a DSLR, it just has a Micro 4 3rds sensor. As you can see it's enormous, especially for a Micro 4 3rds camera. We're used to them being small with small lenses, but this very much feels like a DSLR and it's being marketed like that. It's going to be $2,000 so it's in the same price range as Canon's new 6D and Nikon's D600 and it definitely is designed to play in that same market. It's got a ton of video features too. That was one of the things that Panasonic said the GH2 was used a lot for. We actually use two of them to record our podcasts and things like that. And so it has a ton of video features. It has time code, it has a headphone jack and mic input, it can record 1080p video at 60 frames per second. It's just designed to be a really, really pro level Micro 4 3rds camera. And it's actually one of the first we've seen. This is as expensive a Micro 4 3rds camera as we've seen produced. And it's going to be really interesting to see. It has obviously a much smaller sensor than a full frame 6D or even the D600. And we're going to be really curious to see what happens with a camera like this that's designed to be used by pros.
