C*net's review of the Panasonic GH1 is out; see here.
One interesting factoid I noticed is that, down in the graph section, they seem to be claiming noticeably longer start-up time and slower shot-to-shot performance compared to the G1.
(Their reviewer also thought, subjectively, that the G1's high-ISO results looked a bit better than the GH1's, but that's an imponderable at this stage...)
The differences seem small, and I can see how the GH1 might take a bit longer to fire up, given its extra video overhead (longer self-test at boot time) and be fractionally slower from shot to shot because of its larger sensor (more data to read)... but I also wonder whether it might be due to some quirk in their test methodology, or differences between the as-tested lenses, or something else...?
