Does shooting in native 24p get rid of the jello?

I don't mean the jello you get when you do a fast pan. I'm just talking about the jello you get if you are just shooting handheld. Does 24p native take care of this? I was shooting with bitrates of 54,64,74 with no native 24p and I noticed that the handheld footage seemed very "wobbly" and I wasn't even walking with the camera. I was just standing still and holding it as steady as I could. ??? Any suggestions on how to get rid of this with hack settings? By the way, I was using a Nikon 50mm f1.8 prime. Was it because it wasn't the kit lens with the OIS built in?
 
The kit lens was especially made to work with the GH1. OIS, metering, auto focus, sharpness. I can't understand what people see on any other lens, no matter how expensive, other than the wide aperture, that the kits lens can't do. A lot of non kit lenses look soft, make the images look horribly wobbly and trying to find focus and going in and out of focus utterly annoying. Big time movies nowadays look extremely sharp, especially the ones made digitally, both in the theaters and at home. Oh, I forgot about the non kit lens cropping factor, terrible.
What we really need is for Panasonic to give us more lens choices especially built for the GH1 and AF100. Especially couple of good fast ones.
 
True. I don't have any cropping problems with the Metabones adapter. Its fairly skinny. The footage I shot using the Metabones adapter and Nikon 50mm with the GH13 on a tripod looks stunning! Man, I love this camera!
 
The answer to OP's original question: Jello is still present, though mostly on very fast pans. This is due more to the CMOS sensor than codec implementation.

Although, I'm not sure if the "wobble" you're referring to is skew/jello wobble or "jitter" from trying to hold it handheld? I'm assuming you're holding it without any sort of support (shoulder mount, dslr mount, etc). With a non-OIS lens, it's impossible for me to get more than 1-2 seconds usable footage handheld. The camera is far too light.
