No, the GH-1 and GH-2 have multi-format sensors which are bigger. Rather than just choosing a crop of the conventional 4:3 sensor they expand the sensor coverage to the limits of the 4:3 image circle. Thus a 16:9 image on the GH-1/2 has comparatively more pixels as well as a higher field of view.[/quote]
Well, as said you can choose the aspect ratios on other Pana cams too. That´s a pretty simple fact. Else, even on a GH2 you sacrifice pixels when switching from 4:3 to another ratio. When you select 16:9 about 2 megapixel are gone. Interesting that in your world 2 megapixel pixels less are "comparatively more" <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />
