HD-Shooting Panasonic DMC-GH1 Looks Hot in Red, Availabile April 24 in Japan


We usually don't dish on Asia-only release dates to preserve your Occidental sanity, but since price and date for the U.S. drop of the new Micro Four Thirds, 1080p-capturing GH1 is still mysterious, let's look.

According to Impress, the GH1 will be available April 24 at an estimated cost of ¥150,000. That's a dissapointing price, since ConvertBot-ed over to dollars, that's an ugly $1,500. Regardless, that doesn't mean we won't get it cheaper over here, but it's not the most comforting detail.

The other thing to keep in mind, though, is that the GH1's video capture mode (which is basically the only differentiation from its $800 predecessor, the G1) does things the others from Nikon and Canon can't: that is, the cinema-friendly 24fps framerate at 1080p (60fps at 720p), as well as continuous contrast-based autofocus with an especially silent-focusing lens.

Japanese do not love the firm Apple. The popularity of computers from the logo of the gnawed apple was never in this country great. However reluctance from what he met on the market iPhone he is something unparalleled so far.

What scares occupants Japan away from fashionable in different countries smartfonu? Practically all. He is quite primitive from their point of the sight, the unfashionable appearance has and the poor quality camera – but this is the main problem that he does not come from the Japan.

Analysts still foresaw that this would be the complete hatch before beginning the sale iPhone'a in the Japan. The western marks of telephones have great problems in the Country Blooming Cherry-tree – neither it was not successful to appear Motoroli neither Nokii on that market. This results all from amazing requirements, what Japanese place its smartfonom, and become fond of the multimedia and television.

The cheapest fare plans for iPhone'a begin from równowatości 60 dollars for the comparison.

What however has the most to hurt the firm Apple, then the matter of the style iPhone'a, and rather his lack in the Japanese eyes. In the interview for the service Wired.com Nobi Hayashi, journalist and the author of the book „Steve Jobs: The Greatest Creative Director”, he affirmed, that for sensitive on style and fashion of Japanese iPhone he is „enough obciachowy”. Hayashi himself uses the telephone Panasonic P905i, with the built-in display 3”, the tuner of the TV, GPS-em, camera of the video 5,1 Mpix and the sensor of the movement.
