I looked at the Sony cameras but the recording formats all fall far short of the GH3.

Last week I attached the GH3 on top of our Blackmagic Cinema camera and shot the same scene. BMCC shot cinema DNG and GH3 h264. I did a split screen and subtle color correction to match and the GH3 looked every bit as good as the BMCC, which I love.

Ah Jack I have heard very good things about the lumix, my dad has one and raves about it. Ditto the Sony Alpha NEX F3 and the NEX 7, which is actually a DX size sensor in a micro 4/3 body

Take a look at the Panasonic Lumix GH3. It now records 72 Mbit h264 (intra frame) that is very lossless. I like shooting 24p but it will shoot 60fps, even at this data rate. I haven't tried the slow motion feature on top of 60fps, but I would imagine you can push it further as there is a slow motion feature. I've only had the camera a week but am super impressed by the quality. Also does 16MP stills. You can shoot stills at the same time as you are shooting video without interrupting the video recording.

Records on an SD card so slap it right into your computer and start using off the SD card or copy to the hard drive and start using without any transcoding.

Hi,

I'm looking for a camera with as many as possible of the below features. Currently using a Lumix LX 7, which does surprisingly well for a $400 camera mainly designed for stills/

1. Compact
2. Tapeless
3. 1080 24p. 30 p. (60 i optional)
4. Better (i.e. less)  compression than the 34:1 of my Lumix  LX - 7.
5. Mac- compatible software.
6. No 4 gig file limit.
7. High speed shooting for slow mo.
8. Good optics -- ideally comparable with Lumix
9. Better zoom ratio than LX 7
10. Ideally can shoot high quality 5 MP or better stills.
11. Long shutter speed shooting for in camera blurs
12. Good low light performance.

My Lumix LX 7 has all but 4, 5, 6, 7, 9

Thanks.
