I just returned mine because it has a dead pixel on the sensor. Now, I'm back in line waiting for a replacement.

As far as I know there's no such thing as a bad GH2, unless it's got a LOT of noise in dark areas of a shot, which will be extremely noticeable (but it's very rare).

The GH1 variations made everyone a bit paranoid.

Finally fell to the dark side and ordered a GH2...

Welcome, Martin. If only others knew the power of the dark side...;-)

just spent two months waiting for my gh2. got here last week. now im finding an UNUSABLE amount of aliasing and moire in pretty much every shot. HOWEVER, when i import the footage on my mac everything seems fine. definitely a defect in the screen and im not really sure whether i should send it back or not.. not sure if its worth waiting another month to get it back. anyone got any ideas?

I like the screen aliasing. That's poor man's peaking feature.

APA: Screen is the same res as GH1 (ie, very poor). May wanna try a HD screen then, just do research on it how it works, cus GH2's hdmi is kinda... random.
