GH2 Visual Comparison : GH2 vs GH3

The GH3 looks very nice indeed.
Except one detail that caught my eye immediately - The new sensor isn't multi-aspect. Disappointing.

Where did you see that? That is not what Panasonic says on the official specs page.

Offering different aspect ratios is not the same as what Panasonic calles a "Multi-Aspect Sensor". The GH1/GH2 had an oversized sensor that they called "multi aspect". The GH3 appears to have a standard m43 sensor.
