60p test footage

Some 60p test footage I shot right after opening my camera.

I learned that I probably should have a faster shutter speed...
Color-wise, I'm super impressed with this camera. How is that Panasonics look so good right out of the box? Say what you want, but it would have taken me hours to get things to look this good with my old XH-A1. Here, I didn't even take the time to color correct!

My bet is the larger pixels. Sony and Canon may have cameras with higher pixel counts, but I wouldn’t trade the 150's color rendition and low light ability for the slight increase in sharpness.

That is what some people (Pana vs Sony or Pana vs Canon threads) can't get their heads around; it’s all about CCD size to them. They don't understand that accurate color and low noise are just as, if not more, important. Ask any seasoned cameraperson, they will agree. I think Pana understands this.

Great shots, BTW.

Yeah, I get in Tech Spec arguments all the time. And, at the end of the day, my final point is always: Yeah, but the Panasonic just looks better...

Thanks for the nice words, BTW.
