Our Rating :
Price when reviewed : £1199
inc VAT Sublime ergonomics, superb photo quality and peerless videos - the price may be hard to stomach but it's easy to justify.
Specifications
17.3x13mm 12.0-megapixel sensor, 10.0x zoom (28-280mm (35mm equivalent) equivalent), 845g

If video isn’t a priority, Nikon’s D90 and several lenses would be a better use of £1,200. However, for video enthusiasts, and anyone who holds still and moving images in equally high regard, nothing comes close to the GH1.
