Back in 2008 Panasonic was proud to release on the market the first Micro Four Thirds camera: the Lumix DMC-G1. Today time has come for the new DMC-GH1 to take the stage.

The case is very similar to the one its predecessor was wearing, but wait before jumping in to any conclusions you should ‘til you hear what this baby can do. Using the AVCHD format the cam can handle 720p recording at 60 fps and 1080p at 24 fps.

The menu of this 12.1 DSLR allows you to make stereo audio recordings, to set the aperture and the shutter speed manually and to use auto focus, face detection and iPhoto-style Face Recognition features.

We’ll keep you posted with more information on pricing and release date.
