squig, you can get a 20m 1.8 nikkor for under $300.00 which is the same as a 28mm. What are you talking about?

Yeah the sigma. I've heard good and bad things about it, and seen some bad low light pic's which is what I need it for. It has some flaring issues and is pretty soft at f/1.8. I have an old sigma 18mm which for me is so soft to be unusable. I'm also thinking about the tamron 17-35mm f/2.8 at the wide end. The nikon 24mm f/2 is about the fastest/widest but I've heard it has bad flaring too. I'm going to be shooting a lot of nightclub scenes so fast and wide is crucial.

But handheld work will suffer. Which is a style i often use. It's mostly noticeable with thoes slight sways to the left and then to the opposite direction ,where all straight lines start to bend left and right.

As far as I can see the 1080 clip is actually a totally different camera (the fh1) a very consumer point and shoot kind of video camera. From the first gh1 clip considering it was in a very hard lit area it looks ok. It seemd to me typically panasonic looking. Also I am more optimistic about the audio which I am assuming is from the internal mic has a certain richness and seperates ok thanks to the dolby 2 channels. And most importantly Idont hear a lot of hum from the automatic (i'm assuming) gain. Put a decent mic through it or even a mixer and it could be potentilly very usable.
Wide Lens. Alright, as soon as I get the greenlight I'll show you some test footage on RED that's ALL handheld... @ 135mm and greater. That'll restore your confidence.
Just gotta wait til we know what's up.

A 20MM 1.8 Nikkor for under $300. Can you link to that?

Cool, thanks.... Sigma's are nice. When you said Nikkor, I was thinking, now there isn't a 20mm 1.8. If there was, it would be 5x that price.... I shot with the Sigma 20 1.8 and the 15 to 20mm zoom a while ago. I got good results.
When they have a Nikon to micro 4/3thrds adapter this will make a nice combo.... Assuming the GH1 isn't a piece of sh!+..........

Sorry, but can you recognize the headline above the clip: "1080p24.0 shot at 1/60th second using prototype GH1"
But maybe now I´m the one who is a bit slow on the uptake... ;-)

definitely see those strange horizontals, but as stated, im sure that will be gone soon.
But even with this simple footage, i could still see the jello going on. Damn Kholi, i wish it didn't bother me so much, but it just does!
There is also this strange pumping happening during the footage, im wondering if its just very quick shake?

You are right! Something went wrong before, but in the description the GH1 was mentioned clearly. Anyway, now everything is looking good...

Please post!
When did u pick up your Red and when in the wild world did you get the money to afford it you silly bean?

Actually, I should say "the" RED and not "My" RED. I've been partnered with a pair of RED ONES for the past year or so, managing all business that comes in for it and shooting with it. Sold one, now we're only one deep and thinking about getting another. So, it's a joint venture. The private owner has been quite amazing to work with and we recently struck a serious deal with the Camera that's gonna help me out tremendously on a project I've been trying to get off the ground. In short, I always say "My" so that people know I've got the power to pretty much say what it can and cannot work on. Helps business.
So you know: I wouldn't buy a RED ONE unless it cost about 12.5 ~ 15K for a fully working setup. That's with a Canon Mount, Batteries, Drive Space, and the Camera, etc. The market is way too saturated around here and rental costs for a RED ONE make me want to break cups against the wall. It's getting ridiculous.
Thus, I keep my investments in P2 which sees an incredible ROI around these parts, and keep wishing for cameras like the GH-1 to bridge the gap between price and performance for personal use and multicam acquisition methods.
It's HARD not to be afraid of the Jello that you see online. I think the worse case scenarios are the D90 and MKII, to be honest. But, rest assured that you can make Jello appear in the best of these CMOS majiggers. Once you know where it is, you can control it for the most part. Just like how the Extreme wouldn't let you stop down, well you controlled it and made it work for ya. You can do it! I have faith. The trade-off is getting to a point where "rolling shutter artifacts" are worth it.
-- As soon as I get the go ahead to post some footage I will --
