Difficult to be certain about that from their results? In any event will be a lot less than all dslr, except the d5200 which then throws nasty fixed pattern noise into the mix and naff ergonomics c/w with the G series? Nothing perfect yet it seems but the G6 moves in the right direction, now Panasonic open up the Multi-Aspect ratio on the G6 why disable it? maybe its a processor thing.

Early resolution test by slashcam.de show slightly more aliasing than GH2/GH3 http://www.slashcam.de/artikel/Test/Panasonic-G6---Messergebnisse-und-kurze-Gedanken.html Video-Crop seems to be 2x, they suspect it's a G5 Sensor.

@Shaveblog Yo! :)

@kurth Excellent advice. I like TOTALLY complained to Panasonic HQ about the GF1's high ISO noise and they were like whoa, someone somewhere wants a firmware update, better get one into the pipeline STAT. Next day, bam, firmshnizzle updizzle. Just like that.

But then I'm like, dog, why stop now? So I tweeted to no one in particular, "Yo, not sure if my pancake is auto-focusing as fast as it should be, but maybe it's cuz I'm so hiiiiiiiiii" and then 15 mins later, bam, another firmware update. Those Panasonic digital imaging division dudes be RESPONSIVE yo!

One time, I didn't even say anything. I just thought in my head, "Are you there, God? It's me, Margaret. I wish my GH2 had switchable NTSC/PAL video and an higher 24p bitrate" and BAM! Look on my Chinese Android tablet (props VK) and doncha know Panamuthafunkinsonic jimmy-jammed another F to tha U on they support website. For realz yo. It's like they homeopathic or sumpin.

So yeah, when you get your G6 but you don't want to shoot as much as a frame of video till it be all hacked and whatnot, send your complaints to http://shop.panasonic.com/ecom/support/contact-us?t=email and see if your head don't be SPINNING YO. Panasonic don't be playing, dog. They ON it.

...promote a firmware upgrade by complaint. Buy the camera and when you find something wrong, write panasonic service. When they get enough justifiable complaints, they'll fix them with a firmware upgrade. It's a simple process.

Yes, I have considered that the firmware will not be released which will make the wait for a hack so long, that by the time and if it happens, the GH3 will already start being discounted - of course after a few months of the release of the hack and the price spike.

It is tough to match the LX7 with the GH1 hacked with the 24p hack. The LX7 is really nice and handy, but the 60p is so smooth, it looks significantly different.

60p (and 30p result) is much better for most projects distributed on web.

The way I see it, once these turn up in Hong Kong and we loose the European time limit, that's enough hack for me :)

@rigs is right. Panasonic should better not work against the hacking society, for keeping their selling rates upwards.

Panasonic, if you hear me: I bought total six of your GH1/GH2 cameras only because they were hacked. I do not attend to buy GH3 or LX7 or any other new model before they get hacked too.

Would it take a long time to hack the G6? I wish the gh2 hacks could somehow work for the g6

@tinyrobot ....you should already own a hacked gh either 1 or 2. The g6 will be a good investment regardless, although I definitely saw the mud in julians video comparison , and it will need a higher bitrate to cleanup.

Get one from Honk Kong, ebay, all pal will be unlimited out of the box and cheaper too.

Looks very promising. I'm waiting for tests with the 12-35 and if this accentuates moire (especially on the GH3, but even on the GH2). If not, this is a perfect for me!
