Why would they even post the pictures with a disclaimer like this?

BTW look at the note in red guys ;)

@duartix Thats fine with me.

Good news:

I just received the information, that it is possible to modify the audio levels during recording!
It can be done via touchscreen in the video-menü !!

Dieter

is there any chance of take the All-I mode from GH3 firmware and add it to GH2 ? eventually when we will be able to download it ?

can someone use Neat Video NR in the video i show'd in page 48?

Yup, it's 4-2-0 alright.

Here's a frame grab from one of Dieter's GH3 videos. This is enlarged 2X with nearest neighbor in Photoshop. You can clearly see the reduced chroma resolution around the man's head in the red and blue channels.

This is no worse or better than the GH2 or thousands of other cameras out there. But it does force you to make compromises when pulling a key.

I just checked the GH-3 specs at B&H. The video section only lists 60Hz frame rates. Does that mean there is a PAL version and an NTSC version?

There is no BIG issue on FPN (fix pattern noise) and i come to belive the iso 28.000 is very software made, since FPN should be much more evident in such mode. If not, the sensor is some good mother...fu..r.

I also belive new way of color dithering is aplied in this GH3, since its 8 bit and all footage ive seen and analize seems to handle better color, the banding, and 8 bit tipical color problems are not that harsh too.

In my opinion those features by itself and improved sensor is enough to buy one. In GH1 and belive me, iso 6200 was shit, and seeing this GH3 iso looking like iso 800 on GH1 is about as good as it can be for a 2 generation step in sensor or camera. Canon is a sensor slave, look how many "APS-C" cameras they have with same shit sensor, even their new generation mirrorles. On every GH series there was a unique sensor, we have the "look" that somehow GHx m4/3 can achive even at AVCHD. Now the coder is much improved, tha camera is of alloy and stuff. Ive reed this thread and for what i can see, sensor wise, was panasonic the designer of it, and the circuit behind it in other layers is sony design... So, somehow we wont loose the look from pana.

I think is it will be much much better than GH2, like x 3 if proper hack is developed. h.264 is more open standard by itself than AVCHD... and you have the benefit of quicktime for those mac pussys. So..who knows..maybe even only 24p, 4K is possible with new encoder at h.264. It has much better prosessor.

If sony helped a bit by making this possible, way to go men, only panasonic manages the firmware, design and hack wise knowlege as far as this website can give. I think the developement was for shure hack influented and we will have some good surprises when this is possible. We count on you @VK. :D

I think is a win win for all of us.

It was not the final speed yet as far as I know

Did you google? :)

But Sensei is for japanese arts. I am from a flipino art :) More in PM if you want.

And one with only 125 ISO
