@vicharris, @maddog15, @Zaven13, Thank you for the info, maybe was a problem of detail, I was out door with lots of sun and shooting at some houses with brick walls. I will keep on trying.

@xavieramelio, use the 720p60 H mode with your current card and you should be OK.

Just shot some stuff in 720p60 and didn't have a problem. Though I only use the 64gb/95mbs cards.

Hey, I decided to hack yesterday my GH2 to install Moon t5 on a 32go Sandisk Extreme SDHC 45mb/s. I noticed I can't make my camera body switch from PAL to NTSC (or the camera will crash if I hit record). I haven't yet notice any other problem with the 50 shots I've taken but I'd glade to report some if encountered.

shot the with moon t5 in march ...... this hack can really b pushed in post !!! bravo driftwood bravo !!!!

@McKinise The Sansdisk Extreme 45MB/s cards have a reputation for indiscriminate "quirky" behavior in my experience. Plenty written about it in various posts/blogs also. Ever since I bit the bullet and switched to 64GB 95Mb/s card...not a single problem. Camera playbacks works every time. Only caveat is once out of say 50 times, I may have to switch camera off then on for playback to work. (TIP I learned here on PV: always record a random short clip after a long take or shot. Wish I remembered the technical reason for this BUT I know this trick works in preventing the error message when trying to play back T5 footage in camera)

BTW: Moon T5 is my "stock" camera setting now. Love it. No need to try/test other patches at this point for me. T5 does everything I need and more personally as well as professionally.

Good luck :)

@htf the lowest (maybe cheapest) and reliable possible SD card for Moon T5 is Sandisk Extreme 45MBs. I have used a pair of these card for many projects. They are spanning very well.

Just another quick note about sharpness for future versions of firmware. I will always prefer the camera captures "real detail", in other words it captures the image as naturally and to the best of it's ability as possible without electronic sharpening artifacts. This allows the enduser to then apply sharpening in post if needed and can be controlled with precise post tools. Also, lens choice affects sharpness as well and I'd rather make the choice optically to deal with sharpness than false sharpness generated electronically. In the RED world sometimes the images don't jump out as being ultra sharp which surprises people because they look at the resolution numbers and expect a certain sharpness but what's going on is the OLPF is handling moire artifacts that can result from the demosaic process which leads to a slight softening/smoothing of the image. This can then be adjusted to taste in post, although many prefer the look without additional sharpening. Anyway, this is my long way of saying that I would prefer to see the camera capture the "best" images it can, not necessarily the sharpest if it's artificial.

@driftwood and anybody else who might answer this question:

what's the lowest possible card for moon t5 if spanning is not essential? are there any cheap alternatives to sandisk that might work as well? if not, could i go with the extreme 45mb/s? thanks in advance!

Soft image? Well guys, why don't you switch to Canon instead :))

Moon 5 is too soft!!!!!! Holy crap! I'm looking at peoples pores and peach fuzz on the side of their faces in my footage!! :) What are you people doing to get soft footage with these settings?

well I certainly do hope it won't be, but hey each to their own :)

@smsjr

yeah, I find it a bit too sharp as well. Try using T3 which is equally good yet a bit softer.
