Before you excite too fast, I let me remind you, this GH1 can be classified as SLR cameras, and this, in part because of the lack of a mirror and a roof prismAt least these are the key points, according to Wikipedia, to make a real DSLR SLR.
The GH1 is actually a micro 4 / 3, a new type of camera where the mirror was removed and the LCD, a bit like the bridge, took the place of the optical viewfinder.
Ye,s GH1 is the result of the union between your Reflex classical and Bridge, is a hybrid that is supposed to make the best of each, in the best of both worlds.

Conclusion:
Well what about …. First, in spite of pretty pictures, our GH1 and 12Mpix sensor is a bit limited compared to a Nikon D5000 or when faced with a Canon Kiss X3, for example. But overall the images are good, and will enjoy most of you.
Now, the Big Plus GH1 is the video in 720/60p HD AVCHD at least.
I had the opportunity to work with different video cameras, and I can tell you that I am amazed by the result obtained in 720/60p … Despite for limitations, shoot video with this device will not be given to all world, especially if you are not used to take video, or shoot with a DSLR. But once you’ve learned to control it, and you have a little potash the user, the result is incredibly beautiful, with much more serious movies that many HD Consumer Camcorders on the market.
