The G3 has decent video but is not up to the GH2 standard. No 24/25p and lower bitrate.

The GH2 you pointed to is "the same camera of this forum." :thumbsup:

The latest firmware update from Panasonic allows for 25p and yes, it is hackable.

Thanks, what would be a recommended nice zoom lens for this? constant F stop.

I like nikon lens , can I use nikkor with this? what sort of adpapter would I need?


best regards
 
Yes you can use nikkor lenses, and yes you need an adapter. They come in various prices and styles. I would stick cheap, and just get somthing like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-adap...9V70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333057745&sr=8-1
For a bit cheaper though if you look around.
If you want aperture control, it will be a little more expensive, but you could always buy older lenses with aperture control on the body.

Your best bet for a nice zoom with constant fstop is the tamron 17-50 non-vc. A lot of users including myself have this lens. I own it on the canon mount though.
 
I was looking for a longer zoom, thre is a nice nikkor 70-200 and the 24-105 from canon, Do you know something like this made by other brand and cheaper?. I thing image stabilization is important, I been using a 25 105 canon with MKII and works good, recently i had the chance to use 24-70 with not stabilization and you can tell he difference in hand held shots
