The Lumix DMC-G2 and the Lumix DMC-GH2 are a mirror-less system cameras, by Panasonic. They are the successors of the Lumix DMC-G1 and Lumix DMC-GH1, and the predecessors of Lumix DMC-G3 and Lumix DMC-GH3.

Both are improved versions of their predecessors. The main change of both models is the replacement of the color screen by a color touch-screen. Especially the setting of the autofocus point of the image is setable by touch-screen. Both cameras got new video capabilities. The GH2 even for 1.920x1.080 HD-TV videos.
