I think to play it safe with all the testings, it's probably best to get a Sandisk Extreme III, class 6 card. B&H has an 8 gig for $45 and although it's slightly cheaper at Amazon, a lot of those cards are coming from 3rd party vendors unless you know which one is reliable.

Hey Guys, I'm sorry I'm so late to party, kept seeing the post title but didn't ever check into it, now I see so many pages and feel like something awesome is going on... anyone mind giving me a nutshell answer of what is exactly going on and where it stands?
I gather you're trying to develop an independent firmware update to include some of our wishlist wants for this camera?sigpic

Another camera of interest is the LX3 since it's MJPEG 720p runs at 24 frames per second although it's a bit more expansive that the TZ5.
I'll have to contribute a little something myself but I'll probably take a few days or more until I get some spare change.Last edited by Camera Expert; 05-01-2010, 09:52 PM.

Are there other things you're hoping to achieve?
Pal/NTSC switchable for region free shooting.
MJPEG 24P for totally mud free shooting and native 24P shooting.
1080 24P avchd to avoid pulldown removal in post.
AGC disable.
Basically the goal is to make this camera function better than it does since Panasonic isn't going to release a firmware that accomplishes this. Even if it's just a matter of enabling native 24P in 1080 to avoid the annoying hassle of pulldown that's still a huge improvement.

As number 2 and 4 are done.

As far as funds go. There is still $60.00 in the piggie and no sd card has been ordered yet. I'm looking locally first and then going to discuss whether or not to buy online.

As for sensor related things.
We are yet to understand this, as constant WxHxfps suggest constant read rate and it can not be coincidence. But we can have some internal binning algorithm and reading of whole line scaled to suggested resolution.
So, more shoots are required, including 16:9 photos and video test charts.
P.S. LX is costly and it is not an option due to encrypted firmware.

What exactly do you expect from "user oriented" thread?
With time we'll move to dedicated forum and such threads will be ok, but today they are just nor very useful.
