It offers full manual as well as completely automatic video recording, making it ideal for in-the-field shooting as well as more formal situations. It's also a pretty handy stills camera with a full range of controls, making it an impressively flexible package. The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH3 is very popular with videographers partly because it is a very lightweight and rugged, weather-resistant camera that’s serviced by a great selection of high-quality lenses.”

Power (O.I.S.) both makes this a much more user-friendly lens, while the seven bladed aperture creates smooth out-of-focus highlights.”

The partnering three-way loudspeakers deliver a wonderfully rich sound thanks, in part, to the proprietary Class D amplifier tucked inside the SC-PMX9 that leverages off Panasonic’s proven MASH noise-shaping technology.  Whether your preference is for wireless or wired sound sources, Panasonic’s SC-PMX9 is a thoroughly modern solution.
