@Jim_Simon, thank you! That is some of the best comparison information I have seen.

My better shots on the GH2 have been with Moon T8, but maybe they could have been even better with Moon T7. I like to think I've become a bit less of a hack over time. Lol

@Tjabo

In my tests in T8 upon it's release, I did find the image overall a bit 'smoother' then 7, but it seemed to me that smoothness was because the image was less detailed. I prefer the detail.

You can read about this in the Moon T8 thread.

I must apologize for insisting with the mono-theme, ran out of pills :P
All but the very first shot is HBR NTSC version conformed to 23,97 TM. If this patch could have a force HB option... I'm finding to be the shots where is not so much going on (like an out of focus FG - SOC example below) where banding feasts like crazy and, no matter what rinsing and vitamin I fed it, so much difficult to fix it in post - anyway just dreaming (4:2:0, 8 bit) while having fun =)
 

@halfhedge, you are gifted! That is one of my favorite music videos I have seen in a while!!! Fantastic shooting and editing.

Hi! I tried my luck with a music video for a local Band. It was a quite ambitious undertaking for me, but it turned out okay for how far my abilities go right now. Made a lot of mistakes and hopefully, learned from all of them. The main one being that even daylight seems to be too little light for a night scene with a GH2. :) Anyway, i used the Drewnet T9 mainly, tried some good old Intravenus along the way, but too little light remains too little light. Enjoy.

Guys: Latest on moon T9: Basically I need to finish it off properly. I apologise to all who have been patiently waiting. June is a hectic month for me too but I will endeavour to finalise it in 2nd week of July. May have a new Spizz too.

@Jim_Simon, I'm interested in your feeling/conclusion that Moon T7 is the best patch. Do you mind elaborating on what about it is better than which other patches? It seems to me that this sort of information sharing about the comparison of the patches is a bit sparse.

I have gotten better results with Moon T8 in 24H and in SH modes, so for me it is the clear winner so far. It does seem to me like the darks are cleaner with Moon T8, but sometimes there is unexpected noise in the mids and maybe even the light end of the highlights. Overall the quality I've gotten with Moon T8 has been stellar, even if mild denoising was needed.

Oh, as for dado023's question, Moon T8 is also less demanding on cards than Moon T7 from what I've found, and I even think I had success on some regular old Class 10 cards I had laying around. Honestly I can't remember that for sure though.

At any rate, for the people who prefer Moon T7 (which I did use successfully on a project, and I love Moon T7) over Moon T8, I'm interested in what about it you prefer. As much as I love Moon T7, I love Moon T8 even more. :)

@dado023 I recommend getting the card to fit the patch, not the other way around.

And the best patch is Moon T7.

guys, which hack/firmware would be recommended for standard Class10 64GB card?

When I was a kid I always wanted to be an astronaut... now thanks to you @Driftwood, and without too many drugs I feel like one ,-)
BTW I really like how Nebula (HBR and 720p) bitrate scales with High ISOs, within same lighting conditions.
It would be super duper if there was an option to force patch to its maximum bitrate (disregarding scene detail and DR) for high ISOs... denoising would be "easier" and guess one could savage more details... just TOL thinking out loud :P
 

@driftwood ...looking forward to seeing both, Sir...Spizz and Moon. And I, for one, I'm very glad/happy, that you're still pushing the GH2 with your patches.

Yupp, you are right, deadlines, and lack of attention.
