The Panasonic GH3 finally seems to be out an about in the wild. One of our readers Mike Ritchie has been in touch to say he has put production model footage online. As he says on the Vimeo page it is ‘nothing fancy, just playing around’, but you can download the full res version from the Vimeo page to get a better idea of how the camera performs. I have not personally shot with the camera yet and am keen to do so, the quality of image from this video already looks good enough for many news shooters working for online publications. Mikes says this of the GH3 – “I owned the GH2 before this (and hacked it) but I feel like the GH3 footage is a step up in terms of colour, dynamic range and sharpness.”
