    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?

        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.

            Hey man yeah I read that first page already, and still kind of confused... these are things that you've accomplished? 24fps Mpeg 720 recording etc... I guess Im just kind of looking for what the end goal you guys are hoping for... is that everything listed in the AVailable patches that you hope to accomplish or have accomplished? Are there other things you're hoping to achieve?

              Improved compression to reduce or eliminate mud from fast pans in 1080 mode.

              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 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.
                      This looks confusing. Are we down to $60 on funds?

                        I think it might be a good idea to start a thread discussing the user end of the firmware patch and keep this thread reserved for the work and testing of the patch?

                          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.

                            I don't like this idea.
                            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.

                              I understand what he is saying. Even though this thread shows enormous potential it can be very technical for some people at times. But at the moment I think Tester13. Lets just let the man do his work and discuss the benefits latter.

                                Hi, short question...

                                I use a PAL version and have fw update 1.21 on it, which version increment should i type in in your ptool to make an new fw update?

                                1.21.1 or something?

                                Another question, what does the 24/25p native patch exactly for my pal camera?

                                i have read all sites in this thread because itīs very exciting what happens here, but my english is not so good to understand all youve written here, maybe anyone could write the first page with all infos also in an german version?
