Panasonic GH2 Hacked Further, Now Records to Advanced 176Mbit Codec

With that hack it's going to compete with the Red cams :) I haven't tried the hack yet but will soon.

No way the 4/3 sensor can do that it has limitations. Doesnt matter over 25mbps for internet anyways. The most people are streaming is 10mbps on the norm and thats a bit overkill for internet viewing. If you are selling this shit on Blue Ray then maybe then it matters a little but the better sensor will always win. :2 cents:

this kills what you have in mind as far as focus and movemet:

'utilize an array of low-cost, widely-available still camera lenses as well as film-style lenses with fixed focal lengths, prime lenses, and zoom lenses.'

the issue is dslr lenses don't have the servos needed to track focus for video... and I know this because..... spent a few hours down at the vendor that sells these as well as other cameras to cinnimatographers... BECAUSE I was intersted in the Sony fs100... and they quoted me about 35K+/- to get the fs100 to oporate as an eng camera which is basically what 'we' use to shoot video... the dslr's and fs100 and pannys are 'single' cam shooters with pulling focus and editing. basically for scripted wotk, which isn't what gonzo porn is...

ask ma dalton how he doing with his fs100 set up...

The 4/3 sensor isn't that much smaller as a Red s35 sensor... but of course the image processing in the Red is much better.

And I agree that 60mbs is overkill for the web today but with everything I shoot I keep the future in mind. I'm now streaming my full HD videos at 960 x 540 resolution and in 2 years I will start adding them in full HD resolution so past members have a reason to return. Then who knows what's possible in 5 years from now? It would make sense to start shooting in the new 4K resolution, stream now in HD of full HD and stream again in full resolution in a few years from now. And I may start doing Blu Ray DVDs.

The camera on top of my wish list is the Arri Alexa by the way. Check out samples on www.vimeo.com is is awesome and has the best light dynamic range imaginable.

Very nice work Jay !!!

I don't know if what you call track focus is the same as auto focus, but the AF100 does have auto-focus in combination with Limux lenses that have a built in focus motor for example the 14-140mm zoom and the 12mm and 20mm pancakes. I only use it as push focus though so don't know how it performs in continiously auto-focus but you can set the focus area on your LCD screen and I slighty remember that the AF100 has face focus tracking but I never used this so I'm not sure.

Basically the AF100 is a great cam, apart from its image. The biggest problem is the electronic noise, you have to put sharpness back to -7 and crush your blacks to get rid of that. That's another reason for me to chose for the GH2, there is much less noise even if the blacks aren't hitting zero.

Nice. Where do you get your music clips from?

Beautiful footage there JR :thumbsup

Good Stuff...

We switched to DSLR a year ago with great results.
Takes more effort to manage the focus, but worth it.

Dirty D can you show some examples?

Those are awesome videos for sure!!! Someday I will get a 5D or something so I can take better pictures at our bullriding events.

Dude - in the 0.10 to 0.16 range I actually looked at the grass - amazing

Great work Jay !

Waiting for nikon d800, hope i will find out how to shoot with such a nice results.

Great info here, cheers! Damn that Sony NEXFS100UK looks good!!!
