Total score ?
(maximal 570)		412271
Pros + Sharpness and colour at the upper AVCHD limit
+ Many manual controls
+ 1080p50
- optional 3D
- No more Trauerraender
Cons - setting focus manually is a little complicated
- display and viewfinder have low resolution
- Low sharpness
Conclusion Not only does Panasonic offer 50p, it also brings enough wide angle (which even isn´t affected by the active image stabilisation), good low-light performance and colors, great sharpness and lots of manual control.Those who plan to shoot a lot of 3D should rather go for a dual-lens model of any major manufacturer.Panasonics adapter solution has indeed improved compared to the predecessor, but does not deliver particularly sharp results.
