Panasonic today announced pricing for the highly-anticipated LUMIX DMC-GH1, the new Micro Four Thirds digital camera with Full-High Definition (HD) video recording ability, which will be available in early June for a suggested retail price of $1499.95.

The LUMIX DMC-GH1 includes:

LUMIX G VARIO 14-140mm/F4.0-5.8 ASPH/MEGA O.I.S. lens which is designed to support HD movie recording, features a silent motor and continuous auto focusing (AF) capability — a differentiator from traditional DSLRs.

It will be available in black color.  For the advanced photography features, such as the ability to record AVCHD 1080p/24p High Definition video, but yet is easy enough for entry-level users to understand and take beautiful photos and videos. Panasonic has iA (Intelligent Auto) mode, a user-friendly setting made popular in the LUMIX line of digital point-and-shoot camera products.  This camera is great for both entry-level and more experienced DSLR users.

For those looking for more creative control in their digital camera, the LUMIX GH1 can adjust shutter speed during motion recording, giving the videos a special look, particularly suitable for shooting fast-moving subjects (something current DSLR cameras with video options can  not do).  Also, the LUMIX GH1 allows users to control the aperture, which is convenient when there are several subjects at varying distances. By adjusting the aperture, the user can focus on the foreground and blur the background — or vice versa — even during video recording.
