Someone in another thread was asking how the digital zoom holds up on the GH1, it isn't raining (it wasn't, for a whole two hours) and I was bored so I walked down the street and did some quick testing.

I didn't bother with the 720p test footage, it's basically the same shots only with a worse outcome. After testing I guess what I walked away with was knowing that 2x isn't so bad, I guess, and 4x basically might as well not even exist on the GH1 because I will never use it (I won't use the 2x either).

It's painfully obvious there was no pulldown removal on this footage, as well as all my other footage. I don't want to keep posting blurry movement in my videos it makes the GH1 look bad but as I mentioned in my "free pulldown alternative" thread, I can't afford to buy more software after spending more then I had on the GH1 and other related stuff. Anybody know any free alternatives? That doesn't involve scripts and stuff that is WAY over my head? I'm just a guy with a camera, seems to me you need to be a borderline rocket scientist to work with scripts, unless you know someone who can show you how it's done, which I do not.

Thanks!
