@ Daniel_R
You did it right, @Vitaliy_Kiselev has a strict one camera/lens one topic!
Never used the GX1, but I am using the GM1 as a C-cam for weddings ;)
Not sure what the rules are about bringing up dead/old topics... but most forums generally prefer a search, then a comment on an old post rather than 3000 new threads on the same topic.
Anyway, I'm curious about the GX1 and what I can expect from it as a C-cam when shooting weddings?
Also, regarding batteries... what are the chances of getting away with generic batteries and the camera still working with them (will it read the amount remaining etc?)
Does any one know the native bit rate for the GX1 1920 AVCHD?
I've used it exclusively as a photo cam, but I'm thinking of using this little thing as a 'C' cam. I know it's limited to 30fps, but thought I'd ask what the consensus is on the quality for professional use. (FYI, mainly for US television broadcasts on PBS.)
I've seen a few videos on YouTube & Vimeo but the compression is not doing the footage justice, it appears.
Thanks all.... debinatx
just check topics at

this one is wrong one.
Thanks for the link.
I see infornation on downloading the firmware file from which I extract the bin file. The ptools util modifies it and saves the changes.
After that, I copy it to an sd card and flash the camera.
What worries me is that I didnt see any gx1 specific details in the faq. only on other models.
Is it ok to use? an i missing something?
Thanks again. Amazing job!
Hi.
I'm a newbie here.
Just got the GX1 as a spare body and would like to hack it to improve video quality.
How do I do this? Where do I download the files?
Is this procedure recommended? Is the hack final or in testing?
Thanks!
pfff… I just get a gx1. I'll wait for an hupothetic update of the firmware to include this. If the 2013 cameras will have this there is some hope to get it for 2012 cameras :) And tethered shoot for an extra 700€ is a little too much :D
Get GH3 for this. I also think all upcoming 2013 cameras and camcorders will have it.
so anyone about tethered shoots ?
Hello,
Is it a way to hack the GX1 firmware and able a function that would let make tethered shootings ? I know that a lot of people out there are waiting for that kind of stuff and Panasonic just doesn't care about its customers needs…

DPReview GX1 review
Used it together with the GH2 on a photo shoot. Of the 511 photo's I took only 21 with the GH2. The GX1 just feels so snappy and focuses very quick!! I Like the quick menu more then the GH2...
Love the GX1 ;-)
About the video, rolling shutter is terrible......
