The GH2 is not too video-oriented. It is a wonderful, lightweight stills camera. Just ignore the little red button on the top unless and until you want to do something in video. I bought it almost exclusively for stills photography. I started with the GH1 for a transatlantic trip last summer, for the size, weight, and convenience, and enjoyed it so much, as well as the quality of the files, that I bought the GH2 soon after it came out. I've actually enjoyed taking some 3-D shots with the stereo lens, as I have access to a Panasonic 3-D TV. Shot pictures of the Californic coastline (not 3-D), and they were absolutely stunning on a 65-inch TV. Earlier, I had not thought I would like an electronic viewfinder, but as soon as I tried the GH1 in the shop, I knew it would work for me; not as good as a nice optical viewfinder, but very usable. Also, if you go into manual focus, as soon as you move the focus ring, the camera will zoom your view to 10-times for easy ability to precisely focus. Then, with a detent on the shutter, it goes back to full view. Because the sensor is smaller than APS-C, the files probably won't enlarge as much as with a larger camera, but if you're printing on 8-1/2 x 11 or 11 x 14, there is not problem at all. This is the camera I pick up for travel or when I want something easy to carry. It is almost unnoticeable on its strap on my shoulder. Have fun. --Barbara
