We need GH4 Hack
  • ITs not about the compression, or the bitrates, or even the curves you can achieve and have a grate perceived dynamic range. Its not about nothing of that.

    The patches Driftwood manage to make, how he handled the matrices 4x4 no 8x8 matrices...dammnit even 2x2 if its possible on h264, the difference its clear. The looks is clear.

    Please vitaliy, opening a film stock world again by hacking this Gh4 beast is something good for the masses.

    Its not about performance any more, its about better image.

  • The GH4 is fine, it's the Olympus EM1/5 that have been screaming for a hack. 24p with a bitrate bump on their IBIS will create something really awesome and disruptive.

  • No news or update on GH3 hack, it must be a bust. To bad people donated to get a body for VK to work on this.

  • I just want to know the status. It seems pretty obvious now that its not happening, but its silly that he, knowing how much people want it and are STILL waiting, wont give a definitive "Sorry guys, its not happening". Why are we still in the dark about this? Is it a fun game for him?

  • For me who is doing photography and videography for fun. GF2 is enough! May be I would not in rush to upgrade if Vitally release the video manual control for GF2. GF2 with Moon T7 and good lens is great!

  • GH4 don't need hack, everything is in the box! GH3 needs one, because it's lack lots of good features (peaking, zebra, ... ).

  • A GH3 hack

  • @RRRoger, Panasonic released the new firmware 1.1 only with 'Improved the reliability of video recording performance'.

  • I would like to see 1080 P120 or even 720 P120, but this is something Panasonic could do now in firmware update.

    However, it was the GH2 hack that really put the bee in their bonnent so maybe we do need a hack?

  • Ill chime in to add to @mrbill and @Trumpetman. It would be great to know if we should keep waiting for a GH3 hack or not. I havent seen any definitive "yes" or "no" about if it is in progress still, just little secretive hints here and there. It doesnt matter either way, just tell us!

  • GH4 dont need hack (may be RAW for video), hack for GX7 and GM1 (let me dream).

  • We need.

  • Yes, GH3 hack is what is needed. Is it going to happen?

  • If all you want/need is no recording limit, it's pretty simple to order a non-EU model. Get it from Vitaliy's deals and help support the site!

  • if you want no limit that bad then its not a deal breaker is it. waiting for an elusive hack is is more of a deal breaker =P i feel this thread is quite premature

  • One that people always ask is all this 30min stupid stuff :-)

  • @endotoxic - driftwood posted early on that the GH4 in 200mbs mode was blowing away anything he'd done with a hack on the GH2. So why do you need one? The camera that needs the high-bit rate love is the GH3, and it would be great to get a progress update on how the hack for that is progressing.

  • @thorn

    Of course not.

  • it is a certainty

  • Is it a certainty that hacking the GH3 or 4 will result in a superior image?

  • GH3 has much more need of a hack than the GH4

  • We need to hack into your skills and improve that first ;-)

  • no no no ..GH3 was shame. Gh4 is the beast to be hacked
