Hi all,
I have recently in the last few days finally got my hands on a gh2. All this gh3 malarkey caused a €200 price drop on the gh2 on e-bay meaning I managed to offload my old canon hv30 and get a gh2 body! I've already got a gh1 which has been hacked and uses the peak reliability 75mbps setting for most things so I'm largely familiar with the hack from this perspective and I have looked around for a few hours on those messy personal view forums and google which has made me more confused than anything else.
So I'm looking for advice on what patches I could use with my new gh2. Generally I've been using my gh1 for weddings and gigs. What they have in common is a need for slow motion, lots of handheld work, Good for low light, an ability to handle "DJ" lights in dark rooms (this even causes the peak reliability gh1 patch to stop working at times) and record for up to 2 hours without a break. I'm using 32GB Sandisk Extreme 45mb/s cards and I live in PAL land so 25p & 50p are most important.
From my limited research here's what I'm considering:
1. Sanity
2. Cake
3. SpanMyBitchUp (I think this is inter-frame which would maybe not be too good for eating up all my card space?)
4. 100mbps Flowmotion Failsafe
Am I in the right ball park? Any others I should consider? Any Help would be really appreciated!
Also to kill two birds with one stone I also may be doing some more higher end i.e. music videos in the future and was wondering for a suggestion for a high bitrate patch with i-frame, that works well with slo mo and the cards stated above. Thanks for the help and any info that can get my head around the wealth of patches in an easily digestablw manner would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
