GH1 - GH2 light difference?
  • To make a long story short, I used the GH1 with great result and waited for the GH3. Then I just recently add a great offer to buy a used GH2 and got it today. I install the latest flow motion patch and did some tests. I immediately felt that it seemed the GH2 was getting darker in shots than my GH1 (max lattitude patch) so i did some test with the same lenses with the exact same framing. The GH2 is 1-2 stop behind? Is that a matter of settings? (I use smooth settings based for both GH, with -2 in most parameters) or because of the difference in patches? Sorry if my observation is an obvious one but I would like to understand what is hapening and learn :) Thanks!

    Check DXOMark for GH1 and GH2, they have different ISO understanding :-).

  • i prefer GH1 image at iso 100 than GH2. But the cadence and motion in GH1 is shit.

  • oh my.... it seems this has been discussed to death. I am sorry. And I thought the GH2 would perform better on that matter. Thanks for your replies!
