I just got the GH3 yesterday, also from Adorama. I have an OM-D, so I've been comparing the two. The EVF on the OM-D seems brighter and crisper to me, and I'm able to see it all without moving my eye. The GH3 image is a bit larger, but I can't see corner to corner while shooting movies, even with my glasses pressed against the eye piece. I think, at times, that's causing me to move my eye off center, which leads to some distorting. (But none of this is a deal breaker for me. Just what I notice when comparing side by side).

The still image quality seems very similar. OM jpegs a bit punchier, but I just starting to check out the GH3 photo styles. I've read some people recommend the "Scenery" over "Standard", but it's been too overcast and snowy around here to really test.

As far as video, been playing with the different format choices, but not seeing big differences so far between mov and MP4. I am having some difficulty with the relocation of the video button to the back of the body. I'm finding it hard to press. Have to look into assigning another button.

So, that's the short of my impressions. Wish the weather was more conducive to outdoor photography. Maybe next week.

If you switch to manual movie mode. It is on the main dial with the movie camera icon. You can now use the shutter release button to start & stop taking video. You do not have to use the rear button. Be sure to watch your shutter speed in movie mode.

understand the 180 degree shutter rule for movies, you will need it to work with the GH-3

24 and 30 fps are normal speed

Hello Ryan, I'm a little confused and I hoped you could help me out. I was delighted to learn that the GH3 in manual movie mode, the shutter release could be used to start and stop video recording....wonderful!
What confused me is the last part of your statement "Be sure to watch your shutter speed in movie mode."
" understand the 180 degree shutter rule for movies, you will need it to work with the GH-3"
With my GH2 (now sold) and my GH3 arriving tomorrow....I have never set shutter speed when doing video but then I have never used manual movie mode before therefore my question... how do I set shutter speed and what shutter speed do I use??? Mainly out of doors (day light) wildlife video.
And finally what does the "understand the 180 degree shutter rule for movies........you will need it to work with the GH-3" mean??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
