@gmoneystudio, @x_worpig_x. T3 had initial quantization=16, T4 had initial quantization=14 and sharper matrix. If I recall correctly, @driftwood created T5 using T4 matrix and changed the initial quantization to 16 to reduce the sharpness. T7 uses different quantization algorithm ranging from 3 to 30 and adjusts based on the picture detail and recording mode.

@gmoneystudio The only thing I can suggest is to bump up the sharpen in camera. But with good glass it's still super sharp.

@DeShonDixon Yeah, but aren't you only shooting in 720p?

Did you try 24p?

I'm using Moon T7 now for a long time( mostly skateboarding with fisheye). I use a SANDISK SDXC Extreme Pro 64GB and 1080 25p HBR mode.

The camera freezes very often and I loose the clip, most of the time it is the one clip I want to use for editing. It is really desperating. So does anyone have same issues? Shall I switch to slipstream?

@x_worpig_x Yeah Moon T7 is pretty badass. I think @Tjabo wanted something even sharper, which is why I recommended trying T4 (which most thought was too sharp).

@matt_gh2 @Tjabo I've tried all of the TMoons. TMoon7 is the best for overall quality, motion and reliability in 24p. Hands down.

@matt_gh2 Amen to that!

I've recently done some back to backs with Moon T7 and T5, with interesting results. I am after a nice clean sharp image, so I was kind of hoping T5 might be even more of that than T7 is (already really great).

In the comparison shots of me talking against a largely over exposed high-key background, I found the quality of the T5 to be really nice, and much lower file sizes. However, it seemed to give me lower exposed images at the same settings, and over all I didn't find the image quality to be any sharper than T7. I don't really want less exposure with the same settings, because ideally I would like the option to close the iris even a bit more for increased depth of field at times. I realize most of what I want is probably the opposite of what a lot of people on this forum are shooting for, but it is what it is. :-)

Overall I preferred T7 in the end, and have that back on my camera again. Both of these hacks amaze me, but T7 amazes me more I guess... If I had only ever tried T5 I would be completely in awe of it, and would get more record time out of my cards. I'm so excited to see what T8 will be, even if I end up preferring T7 over it, you guys who make this all possible are my heroes!

@maddog15. +1 on T5. That's the firmware in my GH2.

@MagicMountainMan I have had great success never fail spanning with flomotion2 http://www.personal-view.com./talks/discussion/5758/gh2-flow-motion-v2-100-mbps-fast-action-performance-series-2/p1

I've had great success with Moon T5. For a while it became my "stock" firmware. Like others I found myself getting complacent as well as curious wanting to try out other (or updated) hacks and I've done so. DREWnet, slipstream, spizz .... Love em. Kept gong back to Moon T5 though. My eyes see the cleanliness, richness and overall stabile performance (for such a high bit rate, all Intra setting) as unrivaled. Moreover, I've also found it an absolute joy to CC and grade with. T5 footage can really be pushed and pulled in post before the pixel information begins to deteriorate. I was extremely excited to take T7 for a spin and it also blew my socks off. Turns out to be a bit glitchy for me though. In cam playback would randomly work, not work. (Even with all the tricks like turn off and back on, record a short quick clip etc) Locked up, battery pull - only once. So I'm back with my good ole' Moon T5 and man do I love it. For those T7 users who've not tried T5 I highly recomend it. With the SanDisk 95Mbs 64 GB CARD - Spans just fine for me, (always has even when reloaded coming from a different hack trial) in cam play back works. (NOTE: I use 24H, 24L and the 720SH 60p modes primarily so I can't wiegh in on HBR. That said I've not encounter problems with HBR - just not used it enough to claim I've "tested" it.) THE ONLY issue I've had is that once in a while in cam playback won't work. "Image cannot be displayed" or what ever. Turn camera off, count 2 or 3 seconds, turn back on - all footage plays back just fine - every time. Looking forward to T8 but either way it's a win win having T5 is my "stock firmware."

Thank you @Driftwood. Thank you for allowing my GH2 the ability to kick my GH3's butt, on many levels, on a daily basis. X^D

It always has on mine.
