GH2 official discussion thread

[Doppler9000]

I'd buy this tomorrow if it had 108025p. Why ignore Europe and Australasia?

Does the camera have 1080 30p? Does not the design omit without discrimination?

In MPEG mode the GH2 models on the Photokina had it for sure.
We will see what will be the end version of the GH2.

[Subhadip]

Well, let's hope they are listening. Can't imagine having 25p will be more than a software encoder tweak. Considering the GH2 at Photokina was a prototype, I would say there's a fair chance they will add it for the final retail version. Till then, we have to let them know that no 25p is a deal-breaker.

Panasonic should also add some more faux leather. It can't be that more expensive, but would add quite a bit in the looks department.

No PAL 25P = no sale. Stupid, stupid stupid Panasonic. Better fix it while you still can.

USA availablity is only December.

So, it looks like I'll be getting GH2 body from Japan.

P.S. Panasonic guys, I am awaiting firmware. As I can't read Japanese freely. :-)

Can you do what you did on GH1?

ENOUGH to make noise, I know someone in the Russian Panasonic to whisper in your ear! and intelligibly explain to him what the camera needs to be done in the final.
in November, will you all 25P, and they still have to solve the problem framerate 23.0895
And then relaxed loaves!

Many people have asked Vitaly can hack it or can not GH2
why do it on the forum? - There is always representative of Panasonic - once again, this representative will read and be displeased)))
no need to annoy them! I would generally advise moderator to clean this topic on such issues. friends try to think a head and not ...

GH2 firmware he used is version 0.3 only!!!

[BillyLaBanlieue]

The same here, no 25p is deal breaker for me.
Too bad Panasonic don't want to pass through the avchd limits (they've done it with the tm700, haven't they?)
50/60p would be huge, but at least 25p would be a sale for me, and many people I know.

If Panasonic does not change the GH2 for the marked Pal, will be a failure to sell its new camera
