Quick review

The good
Adjustable high (ish) resolution rear LCD, tactile rubber body "shroud", impressively clear Live View finder, sharp, realistically coloured evenly exposed results
The bad
Hefty price tag, existing APS-C sized sensor DSLR users will have to invest in a whole new system from scratch
Verdict
While it’s difficult to know who the GH1 will presently appeal to given its semi-pro price tag, the hybrid camera performs well and is more than pleasant to use
Key specs
12 megapixels, Li-ion battery, SD, SDHC
