dpreview have done a preview of it.
Panasonic DMC-GH2 Preview
Compared to GH1 - key differences
The GH2 might look very similar to a casual glance but there are some major differences between the two models. Let's have a look at the main changes:
- New sensor - multi-aspect Live MOS with 18.3 million total pixels
- ISO range 160 - 12800 (vs 100-3200)
- Sensor capable of 1080p at 60 or 50 fps (rather than 24 or 25 fps), still output as 60i/50i
- Faster sensor read-out promises faster AF and smoother viewfinder image (less tearing)
- Larger EVF coverage to match multi-aspect shooting (852 x 600 rather than 800 x 600 pixels)
- Touch-sensitive LCD screen (same as G2)
- New, more modern looking menu screens
- G2-style combined AF mode/pattern control on top plate
- Direct movie shooting button moved to top plate from rear of camera
- Control dial moved from front of handgrip to rear of camera
- Dedicated metering and 'film mode' buttons replaced by highly customizable Fn buttons
- Q menu button moved from top plate to rear of camera
- New battery (DMW-BLC12E) with fractionally smaller capacity (1200mAh vs 1250mAh)
- Slightly heavier (394g compared to 385g body only)
