What is the difference between this camera - the GH3 and the other one - the GH3K?

Panasonic (and others) denote black camera color with the suffix "K". The GH3 is only offered in black, so reference to it is usually dropped. When there is KK after the camera designation, the first K stands for kit, then the second K stands for color. Confusing, eh?

I have both. Very little difference. Both are excellent for a point and shoot!

I think the 3 is for full frame cameras. I hope that helps. I D7000 is full frame so Id get that one.

Hi, in this link you can see a comparison of both models:http://www.samsung.com/ve/consumer/cameras-camcorders/smart-cameras/productcompare?prda=EC-DV150FBPWPA&prdb;=EC-DV300FBPRPABasically have the same features, the only difference I see is the physical design

The v3 is the better one because it will work on any 3d tv. The v3 is also compatible with the finepix v3 camera

Personally, I did a lot of research before I bought the HG21 myself, and it seemed the best in the price range. I will mention though that I only looked at Canons (since I'm used to their system interface), so I'm not sure if there are other similar camcorders in other brands. Also, it didn't seem the Digic III was a huge change over the Digic II. The only extra feature Digic III really seems to offer is the face-detection, however that wasn't a huge selling point for me. For me, a better sensor mattered more, as it means better video quality.

With the GH3 (or any DLSR/still-type camera), you are typically limited to either prime lenses (set focal length) or manual zoom lenses. There aren't many powered zoom lenses available off the shelf. A conventional camcorder features a zoom lenses that makes it easy to smoothly zoom in and out on your subject while recording. A manual zoom makes it more difficult to zoom smoothly, giving it a choppy look during recording. Most pros advise against using too much zooming anyway. The GH3 is a killer camera for corporate video. I use it with prime and manual zoom lenses. Using the primes just means that you need to "zoom with your feet" - physically move the camera to frame your shot.

Ahhh...that makes it clearer. I also have the GH4 and find it to be almost second nature for 'most' adjustments. I wish you well with your photo endeavors!

The GH3 is a great choice for starting to use high quality interchangeable lens. The quality of images are basically indistinguishable from most DSLR but come from a smaller sensor. This allows for a smaller and lighter camera and lens. Importantly high quality lenses cost less so you can build a variety of lens over time at a much smaller cost, if you find you like higher quality photography. Since two major camera manufacturers create lenses for M/43rds you get an outstanding variety of lenses. The video of the GH3 is outstanding. Pro quality. Best in class. Quality, variety, reasonable price makes this a good choice. The GH3 is a great choice for starting to use high quality interchangeable lens.

The ones I got for my GH3 came saying they would NOT provide battery level info to the camera. That means I could run out with no warning and lose a shot.

I got confused reading the reviews in the search engine over this, and I almost bought the wrong model. This camera (HX400V) is NOT the same as the H400, and reviews about this camera compared with the Sony website is a bit confusing. One reviewer said they are both the same except for GPS, which is incorrect. The basic model has a 63x zoom, and no GPS or WiFI, and some other features are missing, but the HX 400B/V is the high end model with the Carl Zeiss 50x lens, (better glass, lower f/stop) the Wifi, GPS and the upgraded capabilities.

I don't think the T300 is in the same class as the G10 and LX3, in terms of features and image quality. I'm a Canon guy and I really wanted to get the G10. But it was a marginal improvement over the G9. And the low light performance is still lacking. I tend to shoot a lot of indoor and night time pics, so the LX3 was a better choice for me. But if you're more of an outdoor daylight shooter, the G10 blows the LX3 away. And I have to say that Canon has a better menu system and user interface. The Panasonic UI takes some getting used to. I would highly recommend browsing through Flickr to get an idea of the image quality that comes from each of the cameras. It should help you decide on the best camera for your needs. And Amazon uses automated scripts to adjust pricing. If a Marketplace reseller offers it for a lower/higher price, the Amazon price will drop/increase by X dollars. So if you're looking for the best price from Amazon, it helps to be a little obsessive and check every half hour or so. :-)

no currently GH3 has no focus peaking. i'm hoping it will be release in a later firmware. if this is a deal breaker for you, i would suggest sony rx100. i have that too and that has awesome focus peaking. you can alway get a canon and install magic latern. magic lantern has focus peaking.

There isn't really an "old" or "new" model. There is the standard K-3, which is this one, and there is the Prestige model. There is no functional difference between them. The Prestige model has blacked-out lettering of the Pentax name on the front of the camera.

G5 is newer and can record 1080 at 60 progressive frames per second. GH2 can use external microphones and has manual video controls. G5 is smaller. If you are into professional videography, go for the GH2 for the manual controls and 24fps, if you want high-speed videos to slow down (bird videos?) go for the G5.

On the Panasonic GH4? 1 hour and 25 min! and 45 min in 1080p All-I! It works perfectly for both, no problems. Better than I ever expected

I believe these both might be comparable. I had taken this as a gift and this was not as expensive as others. The friend to whom it was gifted is really impressed with the camera. however, the issue he has is the battery life. These cameras use AA alkaline cells the GE takes about 20-25 photographs with 2 cells. It would be better to buy the AA lithium ion batteries which will last longer. HTH. Thanks and Regards.
