I've been looking at the Genus (on the affordable end), and the Fader Filters HD Variable Neutral Density Filter (on a higher end: I can't afford anything above that). Any opinions or comments from users of these Faders are appreciated. Most reviews I found are divided and inconclusive. Thank you

I use the camera mainly for video. The GH1 has reliable patches, even for native 24p, faster Mbps rates. I can get a second GH1 body (brand new) for $399. or wait for the GH2. Up until I read about the GH2 hack I was going to get a second GH1 so I could keep 2 patches at the same time. Is the...

What is the best converter to make D7000 video .mov file usable with Apple FCP (not X) or FCE (basically the same as FCP) for both 1080p and 720p? Will MPEG Streamclip work? Is Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac better? How about Doremisoft Video Converter for Mac? Thanks

I believe both do auto pulldown. I would like to know which is considered better and why? I know it's a broad question but I will be upgrading from FCE and would appreciate any advice from those of you using either. Thank you.

My original intention was to record in 24p native on my GH1, but there is no reliable patch and my camera kept freezing, so I used LPowell's 40mbps reliable patch with the 24p native unticked. Any AVCHD that was recorded when the 24p native was ticked is identified as 24fps, but my AVCHD now...

I am using Final Cut Express as a learning tool to advance to Final Cut Pro. The downside (for now) is that there is no 24p timeline in FCE as there is in FCP, so for now I have to use a 29.97fps timeline. I know that this is Taboo to most purists, but it is the way things are for now. I am...

I didn't realize that there was a new version 3.50 until I saw mention of it in a thread. I know that there are a lot of people picking up the wrong version of the hack and I really want to get the right one. I believe it is here: Firmware manipulation tool...

LPowell's 40Mbps reliable patch with 1080p since 24p native can't be ticked successfully? And what is the frame-rate with the 50Mbps fast action patch? Thank you

I'm using Lpowell's 1080p reliable patch on my GH1 and I use a shutter speed of 50 for a cinematic appearance. If I pan a subject (usually in AF-S or manual) I have no problem keeping the subject in focus. However, with panning of scenery, street scenes, etc. I can't keep in focus even with...
