Love the stealth form factor too much to like this better... heard this today while doing a shot outside:

"How long has that guy been taking a photo of that girl???" lol.

[Ben_B]

Lol. Nice. Yeah I've heard something like that a few times lol. Mainly from the girls I was filming...right before I got the crap kicked out of me. Whoops!

I don't think GH1 is small enough to do any stealth shooting. Maybe you need one of the new Kodak Zi8 cams ;)

When I did "Closing Time" one guy commented 'look at that turist who's too drunk to find the focus'
Another said 'hey dude, you forgot to flip up the flash'

GH1 is indeed a stealth cam in that people don't realise you are filming. Yet.

Back on track; Ben's PotatoChop image shows exactly the pro-version I've suggested several times - that together with the GH1 would be a perfect camera set for me

Lol who uses the flash?

GH1 stealth shooter is nice...although sometimes it seems worse...taking random photos of people has some stigma attached to it because when you have a big video camera you look like you're doing real work, not being just some random perv...that said if you're not doing candid documentary type stuff it works great for taking the thing in places.

Glad you like p-shop job...lol the sizing is a bit off and the front is from the EX-3 + GH1...I guess maybe you could mount different sized lenses! Did it really really fast go figure lol.

Let's send it to Jan.

I'm sure Barry already has! Or... wait a minute! Do you realise that Panasonic might never make this camera now out of fear that you will sue them for stealing your design! Bad Ben! No cookie for you!

[Ben_B]

Lol. I wish photoshopping the front of an EX-3 and GH-1 and the Micro 4/3 logo onto a camera constituted a "design"... if this was the case I'd be freaking rich already.

Jan's eardrums are bleeding from how many suggestions I've been giving the product team already.

Big video camera? Maybe you just need to add a little bling:
