Hi. I've been trying to compile a lens wishlist for myself of a set of lenses that could cover most of my requirements for my style of shooting that would be (mostly) usable if I were to upgrade beyond m43 in the future, so mount versatiliy is key. I've tried to strike a balance between cost...

Hi all, I have recently in the last few days finally got my hands on a gh2. All this gh3 malarkey caused a €200 price drop on the gh2 on e-bay meaning I managed to offload my old canon hv30 and get a gh2 body! I've already got a gh1 which has been hacked and uses the peak reliability 75mbps...

Hi All, I've just started out as a budding videographer and I'm really loving it. I've just set up my new website today :-) (critiques of content and work welcome) http://provideoireland.com One thing I don't enjoy however is the long rendering times in after effects and premiere when I am...

Hi I've been using the 75mbps peak performance patch for a couple of weddings and I've had no problems for the most part except when I film at the gig/disco at the end of the night. I usually film this part handheld with a simple handle attached to the bottom of the camera so I can move around...

Hi, I've just started out doing some wedding videos with my gh1 (since hacked) that I got with a kit lens for $350 and I have noticed some issues. One is that when I was filming in the church I had black bands across the frames. It's caused by the archaic florescent lights. Everywhere I read...

Hi all, I am due to film my first wedding this weekend (with a hope of making money from this sort of thing in the future) and I'm just going through the checklist. I've been scanning forums for the past while while I have been amassing equipment on a budget. So I was wondering if you could...

Hi I'm new to this patching business. I just got my gh1 in the post yesterday but I'm still waiting on my sdhc cards which are 8gb sandisk extreme pro cards that have a 45mbps write speed. I've been looking through some of the patches here and they seem a little confusing for me so I would...
