Easy to say when you live somewhere with much more competitive pricing.
It's clear social media and online campaigns do change attitudes at major companies. A large price differential between two...

Got the latest 27" 3.4Ghz iMac, 12 gig RAM. Latest version of FCPX.
I'm just watching tutorial videos, setting up FCPX and experimenting with a single 1 minute long clip, shot on my hacked GH1...

Yes, of course.
I hacked my GH1 (PAL).
But my intent was to get used to the GH2 first before attempting a hack. Plus you are correct, the sheer number of hack alternatives, plus in depth...

Bill,
Thanks for taking the time.
Good thoughts.

Thanks for the extra feedback.

Was going to buy a GH2. Maybe I should try one of the latest GH1 hacks first. I loaded one of the earlier stable hacks a couple of years ago, which has been great, so I didn't want to fix something...

I remember reading advice to shoot with a flatter profile on the GH1.
Has that advice changed?

OK. Thanks for that. Good to know. :)

Yes. It doesn't look good.
The smaller size, top notch stills performance and wider crop still has me excited. But given I own and understand the GH1, it's probably crazy to switch bodies,...

OK.
I buy a lot from abroad, usually UK or USA. I just would have liked to buy something local for once. Where I could go back to the store if I had a problem.
I was toying with a Nex7 purchase for...

Thanks.
Pictures look nice.

They are usually all listed from Hong Kong and Taiwan though.

The EOSHD 'Vanilla' patch you used looks great.
Off Andrew's site it's 1080/24fps, can you change it to 25 for PAL?

Anyone know an Aussie distributor/store selling the GH2 body only?
All I can find are expensive GH2 kits.

Thanks for the detailed response.
Even if I could find the new GH2 body I would probably go for it.
The Nex is considerably more expensive, especially with a lens.

Can't decide, although I'm currently edging towards the Nex 7.
I have a GH1 (GH13) with several lens adapters (M, C Mount, Alpa), so the GH2 should be a no brainer.
But the GH2 doesn't seem to have...

Thanks.

Nice.
Really enjoyed the film.
Thanks also for revealing all your choices and techniques.

Well the NEX7 isn't available yet, except to a very few online reviewers/bloggers with visibility.
I'm absolutely not an expert, but it seems the biggest news is that the NEX7 is the complete...

Really nice.

I have a Kodak 25mm F1.4 lens that I'm really happy with.
The color rendition is very rich. The overall quality of the lens is somewhat retro, nostalgic. The raw footage is sort of saturated, the...

Philip Bloom swears by the Heliopan I think.
I don't have it, but I own a couple of other Heliopan filters and they are well made, good quality.

As a GH13 owner the GH2 has been number one on my list.
However, as i also shoot stills, the NEX7 has me wondering. No one has really looked at the video capability yet (online). So I'm in a...

Thanks
