Uwe, these shots are great!! Beautiful composition!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us all!!

Finally a low priced camera that can do nice tele shots.
Most sub $10,000 video cameras look terrible.

[Isaac_Brody]

Thanks for taking these.

Yes, the zooms I have for Canon are not available for the GH1. I think in the tele range fixed focals are way too much limiting.

Thanks for the previews, it's a beautiful setting out there. I downloaded the original file from Vimeo (164 MB) and there was a lot of blocking in the sky in every shots. Was it apparent in the originals from the camera?

Tell me the right spots and I try to upload a short original sequence.

I assume you downloaded the original.

[Kegan]

Great work - almost every new clip I see makes me happy and confident that I've chosen the right camera for my needs.

I like this one. Not so video ish.

I did downloaded the original.

The sky has blocking
Clip 1: in: 00:00:08;00
Clip 2 : in : 00:00:24;00

The roof of the barn
Clip 3 : in : 00:00:32;00

I guess it's the compression you made to be able to send it on the net right?

[Loic]

Did you guys see the moire effect on the roof of the barn at 00:57 seconds? It's very small but it's there. I makes me think I might have to always shoot in Full HD with this cam. It's sad because I really like the convenience of 60fps 720 because it gives the option to slow your shots if needed.

[manglerBMX]

the "Brightness correction" in fcp could have added a touch of noise

[NoxNoctus]

There's blocking in almost all of the solid colors like the sky. I dont think it's the cam, and if it is, I chalk it up to that "PreProduction Model" thing

[J Davis]

Gorgeous shots there Uwe,
for a moment there I forgot I was seated in front of a laptop

[Emanuel]

I agree. I'm so tired to watch shaking tests...

BTW, how have you found the aliasing and moiré on the 1080p? I'd bet there's less than on the 5D Mark II. Nyquist theorem applies:

[Eddy Robinson]

Oooh, awesome. Well, that answers those questions, then!

Edit: that's some smooooooth panning you've got going on there. I like your eye!

Maybe both my down sampling and final compression. I have to train my eyes to look for such artifacts.
