What makes you prefer the G3 over the GH2 out of curiosity ? I had and sort of hated the G3 in some ways but love the GH2. My previous m4/3 was a Gh1 so maybe that has something to do with it.
G3 while not really any smaller/lighter in a meaningful way just as that little numb of a grip that just makes my hand cramp up holding it. Maybe its the size of my hands but I feel like I'm holding it with my fingertips rather than being able to wrap my fingers around the grip.
Also the lack of the EVF/LCD switch I find personally annoying as I go back and forth between the two on a shot by shot basis often.
The overall lack of controls as well I find a little annoying on the G3 as well. GH2 is great with a switch/dial for nearly every shooting mode/AF type etc you could want. Its really got probably the most direct control of any camera of any type I've ever owned.
G3 isn't bad by any means, some overly small and hard to press buttons perhaps, and I find the EVF not as good. I don't know if my eye is sensative to refresh rates or what, but the EVF on the GH2 just looks far more comfortable to my eye. G3 sort of made me feel like I'd get a headache. probably just me.
Again, not saying the G3 is a bad camera, but it just seems to have no advantage over the GH2 other than its a bit cheaper (and far easier to find in stock)
Just curious what would make you grab for it when both are sitting side by side ?
G3 has IQ as at least as good as the GH2 without the extensive video control. I have both and for day to day shooting keep picking up the G3 over the GH2.
