Hi,

Based on the predictions that G2 can be hackable.
What do you think guy will be better while waiting for GH2?
I like G2 articulated screen and viewfinder but GF1 size is tempting ...

Do you think that video quality wise G2 will be better that GF1 after the hack ?

Thanks
 
besides, Panasonic has a little game of "truth or dare" going on right now. The "truth" is, DSLR video shooting has caught on, exposing the benefits of stills photography with the function of video. lots of people have parted with their video cameras because of this. Now, they "dare" you to get back to shooting with a video camera with all the same benefits of broad-range stills functionality, without all the limitations of a video-enabled still camera. if you have nothing going on for the next several months, the af-100 might interest you.
 
I'm looking at the camera / video body. I recently sold Canon 500D, mostly because of size. I noticed that while my pictures/video is much better, I just don't take the camera with me too often.
That's why GF1 is so tempting. But G2 with its touch screen is more like GH2 will be I guess.
GH1 is too expensive for soon to be previous generation for me.
 
but about tendency ... firmware crypt,crypt,crypt ... so video quality of GH2 will be lower than GH1(+hack) , but possible with slightly improved DR (venus HD-II) ... wait 3 months GH2 and wait half year for decrypt and may be hack (but decrypt firstly) and pay not less than currently can get GH1 ... possible you are right ...
 
GH2 may not better the GH1

GH2 may not better the GH1

Its a possibility and the price, will be much much higher. What can be gained?

electronic shutter for silent stills and possibly global shutter type design for video ie no rolling shutter, would be amazing!
Better low light noise free shooting, no banding, fpn etc,
better stills options eg 7fps
better af tracking
hdr in-camera
time-lapse
14mp sensor and improved dr
tethered shooting
live video out
Better-bigger evf
better-bigger lcd

Would I buy this new camera for a touch screen lcd, no, its way down on my list, but the above, its way up, we'll see.
