Any GH1 720p50 mts for download?

Awesome, thanks a lot. :thumbup:

If you can try this when you get a chance, shoot something full wide on the lens, preferably outside.

And also a shot with more movement.
 
Thanks a lot for these tests.

Can these files be dropped straight into final cut? or do I need the additional file structure and files from camera, for Log and transfer? (I'm away from my work station at the minute)

Cheers
Jon
 
I don't have FCP so I hope someone else can help you with the question.

Went out with my kids today and some more 1080 and 720 footage of similar scenes for you to play with and compare. Seems I have accidentally touched the OIS button and it was off (may be its the way I hold the camera - its happened to me a few times already). Anyway some shaky touristy clips for anyone interested to play with.

If the links don't work, please try again later as I'm just leaving them to be uploaded after posting this message.

PS - all the links in this thread do not work anymore, as Dropbox has stopped them for "excessive usage". I guess Dropbox is not supposed to be used like this. Anyway if someone can host them I will be happy to upload again.

This is all good QTI, thanks. Sorry to ask as I know this is like homework, but if you have a minute could you do some tests for us? I really like the idea of this camera and want to find out its potential. So:

Panning back and forth at variable speeds with a vertical object in view, doors etc. Shutter at 1/50 and 1/200 at 720p (to see how bad the skew/rolling shutter is)

Auto focus test (possibly with face recognition) whilst camera is being moved closer, not zooming, into a subject, to see how smooth auto focus is)

Filming really bright objects against dark objects in the corners of the image, with stock lens attached, to see what the chromatic aberration is like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

Shoot a test starting with little movement, then giving it lots of vertical and horizontal movement to see where the codec starts to break up in 720p mode.


Cool, no worries if this seems a painful chore. Where abouts are you based QTI?


Kind Regards
Jon

Pls see above - Dropbox suspended the links as the traffic went through the roof (over 10GB pretty quickly I was told).

Squig has uploaded one of the clips to megaupload.com - see the NeoScene sticky thread in Workflow.

Drcoffee - I'm in Hong Kong. Will see if I can find time to try that.
 
most of them are very usable
i think that the camera could use 24mbit/sec and have very good results

1) please do us a favour and shoot 1080 25p and 720 50p with all the settings turned to their lowest (-2) sharpness contrast etc

2) also do us a favour and shoot the exact same scene at 1080 and 720
a static one and a non static one

3) also do some autofocus checks at avchd 1080 and 720 and motionjpeg 720 to see if there is a difference

Thanx a lot
 
Ok - here are some more tests. Hope they're useful:
http://www.4shared.com/dir/16669622/d3a8031e/GH1.html

3 clips showing roughly the same thing. A hold, a slow pan, a fast pan, and a whip pan. The scene is fully wide with lots of bright detail so should be a pretty good test. Stopped right down. Shutter at 1/50th. Full manual control, ISO 100.

First file is at 1080, second at 720, plus a mjpeg quicktime.

Be interested to see what people think. I was pleasantly surprised. Even the 1080 I thought look fine on the run. Of course, if you freeze frame it there is artefacting but nothing hideous.

I'm sure keeping it at 1/50th second helps since you get motion blur - but then I'd never really want to shoot at any other frame rate. It does show that NDs are a must.

Let me know how you get on with the files.
