For comparison the DMC-FT1 video

Nice and wet, really liked some of the low wide angle stuff. Who'd have thunk it, shot with this little camera. Cheers

nice short! this is a very interesting cam



please could you upload a m2ts to megaupload or rapidshare?
 
thanks, I've checked it and again panasonic uses a better encoder for the FT1 than the GH1.

and still there are people saying "panasonic did the best but it is not their fault! for $1500 they cannot provide a better encoder" , well they are giving a better encoder for their P&S cams :violin:
 
Yes, there seams to be no problems with bitrate or other codec issues with this camera.
Just checked the different modes and when shooting it appears the ISO does stay put.

I guess you could trick it to lower shutter by holding ND in front of the lens but other than that is full auto.

One feature that might work is to record 16:9 anamorphic to give it a similar wide 2.35:1 using the full sensor! Took a screen capture of Avids editor window. The one on the left is the original video file and the one on the right I squeezed it to get right proportions.

Lovely film! It is really amazing what you can do with those point and shooters (travelcams). I just had my litte Lumix TZ5 with me on a weekend in Istanbul, here is my example for comparison:

Now I got my GH1 ... still struggling with the workflow, but I will post soon.
