Offering expert control for videographers and photographers alike, the state-of-the-art Lumix GH3 delivers crisp images and videos with a 16.05-megapixel Live MOS sensor combined with the incredible processing power of Venus Engine in a portable 550g (with battery and SD card included) compact body.
