Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 review: verdict, Lumix GH2 vs Sony SLT-A33 / A55 vs Canon EOS 60D | Cameralabs

As one who is hopeful of the GH2 sesnor finding it's way to a rangefinder sized camera, I was interested in this bit:

At the time of writing, we hadn't formally tested the A55's image quality, so can only comment on how the cheaper A33 compared to the GH2. In our tests the A33 delivered very good results, although was unsurprisingly out-resolved by the GH2 as you'd expect when comparing 12 Megapixels against 16. In low light at higher ISOs, you'd expect the bigger APS-C sensor of the A33 to easily outperform the GH2, but the light loss of Sony's translucent mirror coupled with a surprisingly low noise sensor in the Panasonic, make them a reasonably close match. Indeed at higher ISOs, the output from the GH2 was often preferred, but as seen in our results pages, it worryingly becomes darker with each ISO increment, suggesting a reduction in actual sensitivity.

They seemed to be really impressed with the AF of the camera too.

Yes, that stuck out too. That's a solid win.

They seem to have made great effort on both ISO noise control and AF, pretty encouraging for the future.
