Pros: Current used prizes, multiaspect sensor, good viewfinder, handling, relatively low noise considering sensor size, video quality when new

Cons: Premium prize when new does not correspond to first quality impression, colour rendering

Opinion: I bought this by coincidence together with a Lumix 14-140 mm zoom which I intended to use with my Olympus PEN E-PL9. I paid essentially only a small premium compared to the lens alone. When first in my hands, the touch and feel of the camera did not really reflect its prize in 2009 (1400 EUR with the lens). But everything worked perfectly fine (which is itself quite a feat for a 15 year old camera). On a sunny day, I decided to give it a try instead of my PEN for convenience (as the PEN-E-PL9 has no viewfinder). I enjoyed not only the shooting experience, but also the possibilty to use the intinsic 16:9 format with a wider field of view. At home, I was surprised that the technical quality of the pictures did not disappoint, too. Up to ISO 800 (you rarely need more when shooting static subjects) there was only negligible noise. The only thing I did not like when compared to the Olympus was the colour rendering - it was not only less vivid, but a little to greenish for my taste. Even when shooting RAW, I found it nearly impossible to reproduce the very nice colour rendition of the PEN E-PL9 in post. I kept the camera for a year or so with mixed feelings: I always enjoyed using it, but was often not happy with the colours as they did not match the Olympus colours. Finally, I decided to sell the GH1 - it turned out that I could just get 55 EUR for it, which is ridiculous considering its features and quality. Although I did not keep it, I rated it "9" considering the used prizes today. If you like the colour rendering, I would highly recommend it even today as a super cheap second or beginner camera.
