So for 720p at high frame rate we are left with the GoPro and the FZ200.

Barry do you have an opinion on the FZ200? For us GH2 shooters it looks like a solid solution.

I just bought the lens and one of these... http://freemod-design.com/ It wont help the vignetting but will be handy for my needs. Honestly I was mainly thinking about using it at an upcoming...

THIS. EXACTLY.. Take for example the documentary Indie Game (indiegamethemovie.com). I genuinely enjoyed it. One of those surprise Netflix finds for me, and for many. The thing that irritated me...

If the lens is decent, it would make a great piece of gear for documentary/family/run-n-gun work. It does NOT have to blow me away for it to be a part of my equipment locker. From what I have seen...

Does anyone here use this lens? I have read mixed reviews but most are focused on the photography aspect..

I rented an AC130 for an upcoming gig. LOVE the camera and is exactly what I thought it would be. Any AC90/130/160 users care to suggest a scene file?

I have a few events where I need an ENG style camera, and I am considering purchasing an AC130. I previously owned two HMC150s, sold them over the past two years.. Now I use a small fleet of GH2s. ...

Amen. When I first got my GH2 I decided to use it with stock firmware initially. Then I filmed a swim meet for a documentary. The codec simply could not handle the detail. It started breaking up...

@Mark Williams - Who was your comment directed at? If me, I do not own the FZ200.

@Thomas Smet - My concern is the image quality itself. The raw files posted on Personal View look softer than...

Nevermind, I found an example... https://vimeo.com/51292361

Actually I was on Personal View earlier today looking over that thread. The video you linked to is a great example of the camera used right, but there is no use of slow motion within those examples....

Unfortunately it is not out yet, so we can't really tell what the image looks like. It certainly will not rival the GH2, but I am optimistic about the high framerates!

I have been hunting all over to find good footage from this camera. I feel like almost every clip I have seen online was overexposed, handheld and fuzzy/soft in terms of focus. I am tempted to get...

I'm with you, but with the 14-140 I don't have to lens swap. I have never used the 12-35 but I have a feeling I'd constantly be missing the zoom. With the 35-100 I feel like I'd be missing my wide...

The speedbooster does look very cool but it is not a reality YET.

I should have clarified what I meant in terms of an upgrade... I really wish I could grab a 14-140 X series lens with servo zoom...

I love this lens... Is there a close alternative step up? I love being able to get a wide shot as needed. Already have the 45-175... Consider the 35-100 F2.8, but hate that it starts at 35! Any...

Current arsenal...
Panny 14-140 - Go to. Love it. Wish it was faster. Considering getting another one.
Panny X 45-175 - 45 is a bit steep to start with but this is fantastic for event work. ...

I agree about the GH cameras loosing value. However, the GH2 looks and feels like a toy.. I knew going in that the camera would not hold the value of my HMC150s or friends AF100. However, the GH2...

SDI is great for live broadcasting, but otherwise you are right. The 22x lens is great on the AC160, and the image quality itself is great. The HMC40 seems like a decent camera, just a step down...

Actually I was NOT considering that as an option, but will put it on the table. With a GH3 I atleast get several upgrades and the ability to continue within the M43 glass family. I just sold my two...

I don't understand what you mean by "tiresome with a heavy tripod". The GH2 is one of the lightest cameras out there. It looks like a toy, shoots like an Arri. Personally, I do not think your...

First off, this thread has been epic. No worry on jacking it.

Flinty, everyone needs to be able to take criticism on the chin. I've turned out mediocre stuff at certain points too, but I don't...

XLR inputs are not worth the extra $2k. Budget is not the issue, but I do need to be wise with this investment. ND filters are a plus, but again, not work the extra $2k difference.

Unless the...

First off, thank you for responding.. Seriously. I generally research for months before making a purchase, and this is part of that process.

BMCC - I like what I've seen but I'd be more inclined...

I currently have a small army of GH2s with tons of great lenses. I simply love the look/feel of the GH2 footage, with the same minor gripes as most people here. I am getting to the point where I...
