@the_cubaner Cute Owl! Thanks for the test!
a comparison between the old gh2 and the new gh4 And if you don't believe, the quality of the GH2 with the T7 moon setting is very similar to the GH4 (1080p, ALL-I, 24Hz)
T8 probably needs to be a hack for the GH4.... ;)
The GH4 is simply amazing already, and with only 100Mb/s! if Vitaliy and Nick could do some of the magic to the GH4 that they did to the GH2 with Moon T7, it would open up some even more phenomenal image quality.
When I go back and look at some of my GH2 footage with Moon T7, there is a depth or a thickness to the image that is really pleasing. Every once in a great while, the incredibly detailed C4K image from the GH4 just looks a little thin on data, and that's when I think, "Wow, imagine if those guys could do their magic to this beast..."
I personally can't imagine the GH2 doing any better than Moon T7, but I sure can see the GH4 getting a shot in the arm. :)
@driftwood is t8 cancelled?
@babak I tried FlowMotion and did lots of tests. It failed on spanning and occasionally locked up the camera. It also was not quite as good as the Moon patches so I decided to use Moon for Intra, and GOLGOP3 for spanning and my own stock bitrate hack for long recordings as it drains the battery less and has a longer recording time.
@caveport thanks for your reply. Yes I checked the HQ3GOP. But when I compaired it to Fmotion and T7 (both at HBR 25p) the footage felt softer. To my eys Fmotion has finer noise though with slightly higher contrast. The first time I tried the T7 it didn't span either. Now it does (both at 24p & 25p) but to be on the safe side I think I will just shoot with Fmotion (at least for now). Have you tried Fmotion?
gh2 with fuginon 50mm 1.4 using moon t7 hack
@mjfan I'd like to do this, but I never seem to have enough time these days. The SD cards I use for my GH2 aren't fast enough for Moon, and I only have 1 Transcend UHS-3 card for my GH4. Might have to grab another soon.
