Hey guys....right now I shoot with 2 hacked gh1's and love them. I have been thinking about getting another camera (Upgrading) and I'm torn between the GH2, 7d or 5d markII. Honestly right now because I have heard great things about the GH2 and I also own quite a few Canon fd lenses, I'm leaning that way...But before I make any decisions I wanted to ask here because this is the best site for these typs of questions...Any suggestions, or which would you prefer and why? Thanks for any opinions you can give! :happy:
 
interesting question. my first response is go with a GH2 for two reasons:
- since you already have the other two GH cams, the setup workflow and overall aesthetic will be more uniform
- the canons all have greater propensity for moire / aliasing as well as the dreaded 12min clip length limit

HOWEVER,
- the canon line has a greater number of fast modern lenses. so it might be nice to have it as a low light "go-to" option
- if you do any professional STILL shooting, it might be nice to have a canon. as both the 7d and 5dll are vastly more able stills tools than a GH.
 
WGZN,
Thanks for the response...this would be for filmaking purposes only. I have a D40 for my photography...And I move even closer to another gh...
 
I'm in a similar position - your FD lenses & your Lumix lenses will suit the GH2 - it you shop around you can get a awesome selection of FD glass to suit. I don't think there's sufficient advantage to buy canon in our situation.

I recently purchased the AF100 partly due to lens compatability and I'll upgrade some of the GH1's to GH2's soon (now we have 25p)
