Compared to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2

With the GH2 having gained such a strong following among enthusiasts and videographers, Panasonic has clearly prioritized external controls and accessory compatibility. As such, the GH3 is a noticeably more bulky camera than its predecessor, comparable in size to the Sony SLT-A57. As you'll see in the image below, control points have been redesigned and much of the camera's layout has been re-adjusted for the larger body.

 

 The GH3 is both taller and wider than the GH2. Its more-prominent handgrip has a decidedly DSLR look and feel about it, and a texturized grip surface now wraps around the right edge of the front plate. The GH3 also gains a control dial on its top plate and a flash sync port on the front. The AF assist light has been moved to a more sensible location where you're far less likely to inadvertently block it with your finger.

 

 

The GH3 has a 610k dot OLED side-hinged rear panel display. The taller shoulder of the GH3 allows for a significantly revised control layout. There is a 4-way control dial as well as a larger-circumference thumb dial. The movie record button now sits on the rear camera plate, alongside four of the GH3's five Fn buttons and a focus mode switch.

 

 

 The GH3 has a wider, deeper handgrip much more like that of an actual DSLR. The mode dial on the left is now dedicated to drive mode, with the GH2's focus modes moved to the rear of the camera (and AF area options relegated to the touchscreen). Three buttons dedicated to white balance, ISO and exposure compensation lie in a row in front of a re-designed Fn button. Stereo mics now sit behind, rather than atop the built-in flash.
