yes the Pre production model Panny suffers more than the EX3...there is no doubt. I am certain the production model will perform much better.

Thanks Phillip. Lets hope Panasonic is hearing, and they really do something for the final build.

Does the USB port deliver enough power to run a small USB powered hard drive or does the drive need to have its own power?

Yes it does. You do need to go into a menu and turn the USB Host mode on but yes it does. It powered my 360GB Seagate, no problemo.

Best,

I am sure that the build that Philip was working with is not the current version. It is the problem with putting prototypes out there before image quality is finished. There is no serial number on the unit.

Thanks, Jan. I'm certain you guys will at least match the EX3 in performance. I'm more tha happy with that performance...
 
So I can use a normal 2,5" drive and offload from cam without a special USB-OTG disk with battery?

Philip, you already held the 1/2" relay lens from Letus for the EX3 in your hands. Are they cooking something for the 300, too? Is your guess that the 300 with a relay lens is as fast as the EX3 with a similar setup?

yes i believe they are and it will be f1.5 too
 
Hmmm. I don't think it can do that but frankly I'm not sure. The 300 is designed more like the bigger cameras (2000-3700) in that regard; it doesn't have to go into different "modes" for playback and recording, so I guess there's a possibility. But I would doubt it.
 
The camera can either offload, or record, it can't do them both at the same time. But you know, there are breaks when the reset is happening, Craft services shows up, make-up break. There are lots of opportunties for an offload.

Best,

Jan
 
am in USA land, just arrived. Am converting down a montage of some shots I banged off at the weekend with the 301 and the stock lens. Will have a link up asap.

You can get great images out of this camera without a 35mm adaptor! promise!
 
Thank you so much for the 1080p footage. we are waiting for this.
You have shot some great images. "Georgeous" is the word.
Hope CA will be resolved with final model.
Thanks again.
 
Philip it seems to me looking at your HPX301 footage that if you keep the cam stationary that the RS artifacts are not visible even if there is a considerable movement in the frame, am I right? Just wonder what the water footage would look like with slow to moderated panns?

I really like the resolution and colour of this cam and also hope like the rest that future firmware updates will reduce RS issues.
