After reading the panasonic interview on the home page (here) it doesn't look like the GH3 will be getting peaking.

"However, he says, there is still one feature they're calling for. 'Focus peaking and zebra pattern. More than 90% of the requests we're getting are for these features. We haven't been able to offer it - because of the limits of resources and of the Venus Engine processor. Because it is not included in the Venus Engine, focus peaking is very hard to introduce - anything we added in software would be very different.'"

Seems a great shame, I was waiting for it to be confirmed before I considered upgrading. Seeing as it doesn't look like it's going to happen I guess it's hello to sony for me.

Yeah, that kinda sucks, but Sony doesn't make a camera that I would trade my GH3 for.

Annoying.  Hard to believe that they talked to all these video pros and didn't get that this should be a priority early on in development.  Perhaps they did and just couldn't dedicate the resources for a hardware solution.
