Panasonic Lumix GH1

Everybody with photography or film making interest should know this Micro Four Third (MFT) frenzy by Panasonic and Olympus by now. The only thing different with this MFT is that it not only captures fantastic photos, it also take astonishing HD videos!!! Damn...sources said it would be price with the same price as the Nikon D90 which takes better photos, more lense choices instead of 2 but average HD videos of 720p instead of 1080p. Hmmmm...tough choice.

So it has smaller body than a average DSLR, same quality of pictures (which some don't agree), stereo audio capture (which is better than most DSLR audio), comes bundled with a 14-140mm lense (which is great value) and user friendly menus. Anyway, take a look at the videos it took below.

Canon 5D Mark II

This camera is the world's 1st DSLR with HD video and HD pictures. There hav been lots of reviews on it but the thing i wan to touch about is its video quality. Its jus STUNNING!!!!! The quality is very close to a professional camcorder but in the size of a DSLR. Here's a forbbiden video taken by a blogger on Akihabaranews.com.

There is another video taken by very professional ppl but the link isn't working for now so I din include it in this post. There are a few pictures taken by the blogger to try it out. There is almost no noise at the highest ISO setting of ISO3200. No other camera in my mind hav ever achieve this. Mind you its still the beta version of the 5D. AWESOME QUALITY. The only problem is the price...its roughly touching GBP2000 (body only), with a EF 24-105mm f4.0L IS USM lens its GBP2500. Here are the links for preview pics...
