Awesome Camera! Mar 14, 2010
We bought this camera as a step up from all the point and shoot cameras we have had over the years. We simply wanted to capture the moment with our family and children and not wait forever for the point and shoot camera and then realize the picture quality was sub par after the fact either because lighting was not ideal or the point and shoot took 2-3 seconds to take the next shot. After a lot of internet research and in store handling of the cameras we narrowed it down to the Panasonic Lumix GH1, Nikon D5000 and Canon T1i. All of them seemed like great cameras but we bought the Panasonic Lumix GH1 over those for several reasons that I outlined below. During the process it was also apparent that depending on which store you walked into each of them had their own reasons and incentives why they want to sell you a particular brand. Do your homework and research and base your decision on that, not a sales associate or store that receives added incentives to sell 1 brand vs the other. We found that most camera folks were not necessarily educated on Micro 4/3's cameras yet. 90% of the retailers did not even carry the Panasonic Lumix G line. This product should be on all the major retail shelves with the Nikons and Canons of the world. Come on Panasonic, you are missing the boat. Get your product in the major retailers!!
