Settings: Standard, 24p, -5, -2, -1, 0.
Any leaks concerning some future lenses? I would love some good and tiny primes (50/1.4). As it is, LX7 is still a good choice for half the price.
By the way, LX7 is impossible to find in Japan anymore!!!! Does it mean new model coming soon?? Or just everything sold out for Christmas???
Readers interested in seeing how the GM1 handles video at ISO800 can check out these random shots I made in a dim coffee shop in Saigon. 24p, -5, -2, -1, 0. X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 lens. Most of the clips were taken at around f/3.2.
The GM1 features a very similar sensor to that found in the GX7, and as such, it provides very good dynamic range and color response. The GM1′s dynamic range might be just a little less than that of the GX7, but you’ll hardly notice.

Amazing pictures for the size! 1080p24
AWESOME!
Nowadays I favor a camera that fits into my life: one that I carry to the office, that I take with me when running errands or that I pack for business trips. Yet I don't want to compromise on quality: fast and total control over the exposure, live histogram, responsiveness, a good selection of lenses, RAW files and Full HD video are essential. The Lumix GM1 manages to pack all of that in the tiniest body ever.
How's the 720p 60frames looks compared to , let's say, the 1080/60 on the GX7, is there a big difference? I would like to have 60p and that's why I was looking to the GX7, but I must say that the GM1 is very appealing... and I've found a nice kit with booth the 12-32 and the 20mm for less than just the GX7 body.
So there is no HDMI out for the GM1 during recording??
I don't understand why Panasonic doesn't allow this for so many great cameras (GX7, GM1, G6, etc), as they'd be so much even better if you could use a monitor with them!
Surprised with the Mega OIS performance of the kitlens at relatively long exposures (1/4 to 1/2 second handheld). Power OIS is supposed to fare better in terms of long exposure times at wide angle, but this little one is stellar. :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/cablefreak/11579840334/
My first attempt at a mini-rig for the GM1, works a treat but it's frustrating that there is no way to input remote shutter. I have done an identical setup for my GH2 that has the trigger fully functional for REC start/stop. :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/cablefreak/11665818766/
The GM1 is a simply amazing little device. I've been shooting with it for a couple weeks now, and I prefer the colors and rendition to the GH3, though it does seem to suffer from aliasing, even with sharpness turned down. As far as picture profile, I set at standard, with contrast -4, sharpness -2, saturation -2 and NR at 0 (because I still haven't picked up denoiser software). The GM1 seems to have much less sharpening and higher contrast than the GH3 at the default setting. With the 12-35 f/2.8 lens, handling is no problem (I've got a leather case, which helps with grip), but things get pretty shaky with the 35-100 zoom, since I can't seem to hold the camera steady with outstretched arms. The OLED screen on the GH3 was a big selling point for me, but I prefer the monitor on the GM1, it's very clear and easy as pie to judge exposures. I don't find the peaking to be all that useful, as it's usually in poor lighting conditions that I need some focusing assistance the most, and without anything shiny or contrasty, it's practically useless. At the moment, I only have two batteries, but if you're considering buying the camera, it wouldn't hurt to pick up at least two extra, as they don't last very long. Panasonic claims something like 40 minutes actual shooting time at 60i I believe, but I'm not so sure it lasts that long in practice, and I shoot exclusively at 24p. Anyhow, as you can see from the samples above (especially compared to the BMPCC, the GM1 holds its own, and I would recommend it as a B camera without hesitation.
Would someone that has this camera be able to let us know if it has clean HDMI out? I don't think anyone has confirmed this yet.
