That's like saying "It's a pity that the Nikon D800 isn't medium format". Just like Nikon FX is designed with 35mm lenses in mind, the GH3 is designed for m4/3 and 4/3 lenses. Equipping the camera with a larger sensor would compromise the image quality using those lenses. If you want a camera with similar functionality and form factor but a larger sensor, there are always the Sony A77 and A99.What a pity that the sensor size is still the same.
Having held the 35-100mm F2.8, which is about the same size and weight as a Nikon 55-200 F4-5.6, my back is now a huge fan of the M4/3 format.What a pity that the sensor size is still the same.
Exactly the opposite! Compare the size of a D3 with the D800.That's like saying "It's a pity that the Nikon D800 isn't medium format".
But the lenses, Vivek, the lenses. It's useless making a camera that can't use the lenses made for that system.Exactly the opposite! Compare the size of a D3 with the D800.
Another full frame cam, the D600, is even tinier and not much larger than the GH-3.
The bird was paid with the small bits of Chris' finger it pecked off.I liked the review, it was great to see the camera in use. How much did you pay the bird?

Given that it comes from a camera store that has to sell stuff to stay afloat, why is this a surprise?I dunno if it's relevant to others or not but I noticed your head movements and your eye and body language was very akin to an used car or electronic shop sales rep. trying VERY hard to make a sale. I felt most of the video was more of a sales pitch rather than a review.
True but then you have to compare the total weight/size with lenses. As the OP states later the 70-200 equiv lens for m43rds does not lead to herniated discs each time you pick it up.Exactly the opposite! Compare the size of a D3 with the D800.
