Now even Dpreview is joining the leak party! They just published the full GH3 specs: Dpreview GH3 (cached!). We are living in a complete anarchy 🙂
Olympus announcement starts at 11:00 and Panasonic at 13:00. As usual stay tuned on 43rumors to get a continually updated list to reviews, preorders and more! And join the 43rumors FB group 😉
UPDATE: Cool countdown at Personal View.

why there is no data about x-sync ?
Just to throw a little gas on the fire. It appears that the GH3 only allows full stop ISO increments. They list the 1/3 stop increments for every camera that allows that(GH2 new 6D). They only list the full stop increments for the GH3.
…has focus tracking and EV compensation range increased to +/- 5ev 🙂 GPS and time lapse not built in 🙁
Anything about multi-aspect sensor? I didn’t notice it during my quick perusal.
Unfortunately it is not a Multi-aspect sensor. If you see the “other resolutions” section the 16:9 resolution on the GH3 is 4608×2592. On the GH2 it was 4976 x 2800.
That really sucks as the Multi-aspect sensor was one of the best features of the GH2.
I don’t see an ‘other resolutions’ section?

Is the other 1.15mp going to multi-aspect overhead?
Nope no multi-aspect ratio. Face it. That is real. It is a Sony Sensor with ISO 200 as the lowest ISO. Also the ISO no longer goes in 1/3 stops. Just full stops. Boo!!!!!! Hopefully Auto ISO goes all the way to ISO 12,800 though.
Nonsense Panasonic using a Sony sensor is akin to Apple using windows 8
I simply cannot see other reason for giving up the multi aspect capability. The sensor either is multiaspect or definitely not a Panasonic product.
It is most definitely a variant of the Sony sensor used in the OMD EM-5.
Sorry, but there is no way on earth Panasonic is going to use a Sony sensor. Panasonic and Sony are bitter rivals and imagine the embarrassment if they used a Sony sensor. The GH2 of 2010 is less than a stop poorer than the Sony? Sensor of the e-m5. I have no doubt that 2 years on Panasonic can move forward and match this.
WHAT THE HELL?
EVF magnification even smaller than the one from GH2?!!!! 1.34 vs. 1.4?
Please, noooooo!
Did we just loose ETC mode? I wonder if the new sensor does the ETC mode for video? That would really be a bad thing if they take out the ETC as well.
Optical Stabilization ???
From the resolutions, no multi-aspect sensor…
Really disappointed ;(
WHAT THE HELL #2?!
Environmentally sealed: No?!!!
yeah that’s the 2nd time I have seen a spec sheet that says its not weatherproof…. hmmmm
Is there a way to watch the video conference on internet, like IFA’s conferences ?
thx
ETC is gone. Sell you c-lenses!
I think I preferred when Panasonic were underdogs, the Gh3 could of been so much more 🙁 I think they’ve been listening to the wrong people or have missed a major opportunity….
Again no ISO 100 and no weather sealing… what the hell?
Also, no gps… and no words on wifi and pairing with smartphones…
OM-D still the best 🙂
the GH3 is better for video function only, so what’s new 🙂
the OM-D is better in everything else
even the design of the OM-D is much better IMO
wow!! without having even scene one photo!! thats some crazy powers you have…
It hasn’t been released yet and you say the E-M5 is better?
You sir, are an idiot…
Notice the top view of the camera has a little wifi label next to what looks to be an LED.
A product that underdelivers and stupidly overpriced. You only see these jokes in the Iphone era.
This thing better kick some serious ass in the IQ and buffer departments to make up for what it is lacking. I don’t care about video.
Before the M5 the GH2 there wasn’t a Oly camera that could come close to the Pannys so bugger off. I’m sure the raw IQ (all anyone should care about) will be just as good as the M5 if not better.
I THINK SOMETHING GOING WRONG WITH THE SPECIFICATION !!
HEY DPREVIEW WAKE UP 🙂
They are awoken, link is no longer working.
Because it wasn’t linked in the News ore any other product page, I think the data on the web-page wasn’t that correct at all.
Regards
Yeah that’s my thought too..
I will keep my GH2…
Now, now…let’s at least wait until DPreviews preview, which should be up any time now. I also have a GH2 and would like an excuse to save money, but I’m sure the improvements coming from the sensor for stills, plus the enhanced video tools may still tempt us, especially if the price is at the $1300 level as leaked earlier – remember that we’ve been hearing all kinds of pricing nightmares, but the above price plus a decent price for the grip would be attractive. If I weren’t interested in video, I’d probably save my money and stick with the OM-D.
“Timelapse recording – No”. Very strange. It seems to me that is unfinished / not correct specs
ok I have enought of this incomplete spec sheets, I will wait till the official announcement is here, but if this is true no multiaspect, no 1/3 iso ranges, no weathersealing, no 4:2:2 color in 1080/50p then fuck you panasonic with your sony senzor, you can put it in your ass now! because I won´t be buying it!
Hi Admin, is there also any information out there about the dates when these cameras will be available to buy?
November
Stay tune for extended iso lower than 200 when announced 😉
DPreview has already deactivated the so-called leak.
Those specs on DPREVIEW are a bit puzzling.
btw, the Canon 6D has got one of these unlinked spec lists that aren’t on the front news page yet.
http://www.dpreview.com/products/canon/slrs/canon_eos6d
The link is now down, but based on the comments, these specs seem kind of suspect, at least partially. The minimum iso doesn’t jive with previous leaks, and the no environmental sealing part is particularly telling, since the official Panasonic promo video clearly mentions the GH3 being dust and splash GH3.
Well, let’s remeber that firmwares can fix alot of small issues and even introduce new features.
Maybe Panasonic is releasing the GH3 a little too early because of Photokina and the shopping spirit around christmas times. If this is the case I bet Panasonic will continue to work hard on firmware to get the most out of the camera.
Still the GH3 is fantastic! Can’t wait to buy one.
TAKE MY MONEY, PANASONIC!
Just wait till the official Panasonic press-release. The DPReview had some wrong specifications for the G5 even after its official announcement. For example, the Personal View filmmakers community is planing to verify and update all the GH3 specifications: http://www.personal-view.com/photokina/coverage/gh3
So, big camera with big lenses…. Why just not get d600 instead which won’t be much bigger with eqiv. lenses, but offer more options and much better telephoto lineup along with usable caf.
a clear statement showing you dont know what in the hell youre saying.
I, too, don’t know what I’m talking about. That said, why would one get a GH3 over a D600?
I don’t want to live in this world anymore. Too many idiots…
@Mar: Check facts before you open your mouth!!!
+1
logo of Mar is bullshit Oly fan boy.
These specifications are the SAME that we read these days. Nothing official. They just write it in more lines so you think it is official written. WAIT to see the real specs soon…:D And you will not be dissapointed…
ETC is standard…weathershild also…

I agree. This page is simply a placeholder.
so no weather seal?
Environmentally sealed: No
I really thought the GH3 would have 120FPS @ 720P…
Yes, but the official specs hasn’t been released yet! Maybe we still can see 720p 120FPS. Or maybe they can introduce it with a new firmware after release 🙂
Exactly. If you think about it, less data is needed for 720/120 than 1080/60:
1080 * 1920 * 60 = 124,416,000 pixels
720 * 1280 * 120 = 110,592,000 pixels
So 720p at 120 fps shouldn’t be a problem.
What gives, Panasonic?
No iso 100?? 🙁
Overall, a disappointment.
I think we missed out on some very basic features that we all thought we’d be getting for sure. I wonder how this will affect sales compared to it’s closest competitors.
I sure hope firmware updates can fix some of these problems. However, hardware issues like lack of multi-aspect sensor, no GPS, and lack of weather sealing will not change.
In a word: disappointed.
What basic features? Gps is not a basic feature, neither is multi aspect or weather sealing.
In any case, weather sealing will be there, and gps I think will also be. If multi aspect is a deal breaker for.you, I’d really like to see what you’re shooting
You are not dissapointed form Panasonic…you are dissapointed from the sites that writing the rumoured specs of the rumoured camera GH3…wait…
It’s µ4/3 sensor, 17.3x13mm size, so camera is roughtly 12cm wide and 9cm height. Looks big because of the smaller sensor.
It is not big. It is only 0.5cm more width from GH2…remember GH2 has better image from many dslr…
5D MIII is a crap in sharpness…GH2 which costs 6x less is better…
No one knows what is coming but everybody seems to have already an opinion on it. Wow. Full clairvoyant-forum-mode…. 😉
I agree with you tipotenie…
No ISO 100, sealed
http://www.dslrmagazine.com/digital/camaras-evf/panasonic-gh3.html
ISO100:
200-12’800 is the native ISO.
100 and 25’600 should be possible.
(in GH2 native ISO where 160-3200, extended 160-12800).
But Extended Tele-Zoom is gone or what? This would be not so good…
Is that high $1299 Body Only price a misprint?
Or is Panasonic serious?
