Now this just looks cool.
It's been a long, winding road to get to this point, but we've finally got Panasonic coming clean and telling us a little of what we already knew and lots of stuff we didn't regarding its Lumix DMC-GH1. The hotly anticipated Micro Four Thirds shooter is indeed getting priced at $1,499.95 when it lands in the US in "early June," and that MSRP will include the LUMIX G VARIO 14-140mm/F4.0-5.8 ASPH/MEGA O.I.S. lens. Speaking of the lens, it'll boast a silent motor and continuous auto focusing (AF) capability for HD video, a feature that's sorely (sorely!) lacking from video-capable DSLRs. The cam will ship only in black and will capture video in AVCHD 1080p/24p (or 720p/60p) form, and Panny also tells us that users can adjust shutter speed and control aperture during motion recording. Can you say: "want?"For those not familiar with these cameras, the "Micro Four Thirds" means this camera is much smaller than traditional SLRs -- great for travel. And that 14-140 lens would probably be all the lens I would ever need. Coupled with HD video with continuous autofoucs and silent motor, this looks like a very cool camera indeed.

This is going to be a technological marvel and undoubtedly will be sold out very quickly once it hits the stores.
