Any chance that might happen? Thats a great camera with lots of users and it would be so awesome if someone would start working toward a hack! I have so many ideas how to improve this baby. Not only bitrates\framerates, but manual focusing as well (which would solved huge pia with panasonic autofocus). I would gladly donate money for such a project and participate as a tester and ideas generator.

Just begin sending request with .html format and see if have any success.
I changed link to local one, this topic also contains your link anyway.
I read the thread and right now as I understand there is not even a single successful attempt at changing bitrate) Well, I hope something will come up from this, I will be monitoring this topic. But what I was hoping for is a FIRMWARE hack. Though, if someone manages to create an app hack, that would be awesome as well.
why is it so difficult, does anybody have a clue? like taking a gh5 firmware, and pasting some options from there to g85 firmware for starters?
For starters you need both firmwares unencrypted and reversed.
And you won't be able to cut and past still, as sensors, and other things are different.
@Ashley_James It is a super complicated process. You need something with deep understanding of firmware, and software tools needed to work with them.
I see. I guess the problem is a lack of proper tools and a source code for a firmware. We need to hack into Panasonic software development division and steal there tools in order to do something)
Well, than I better get back writing letters to Panasonic. Btw, does anyone know a viable email address, where I could send them my requests?

Good idea :-) For extra jail time, not for tools.
@Vitaliy_Kiselev is right. Even with code doesn't mean that we would get a good hack. Want better productions? Spend money on tallented actors- set dressers, and let's not forget lighting.
Actually I am thinking about G85. But too busy now, and we have exhibitions ahead and lab stuff.
Well, I wound't say no. ;-) But I do understand that hacks take lots of time and energy. Would be nice to have GH5 like features in G85. However would the LSI even have enough power?
