Anyone tested footages of the GH1 beside a FX1? For sure there will be some time involved in CC the two. I have read somewhere that lowlight performance will be closed between the two. The AVCHD GH1 might be sharper than the HDV FX1.
I'm seriously considering a GH1 to be my artistic or special effects camera to be used with my 2 Sony FX1s.

Please let me know if anyone has this setup and how hard it is to match the two footages.
Thanks!

I have a V1, A1 and Gh1. The V1 is a spec up from the FX1, but probably about the same in low light. I am abroad, but as soon as I return to the studio, I'll compare it with the both cameras. Will be an interesting test.
 
Ok thanks a lot! I will be getting my GH1 soon and will also compare the two. I was just wondering if somebody has done this before. My two concerns are Color Correction and Low light. I am excited on the GH1 :)
 
I sold my FX1 to get the GH1. I didn't look back.

The GH1 isn't as good with low light when paired with the F4 kit lens, but stick a F1.4 on it and it beats the FX1 hands down.

The FX1 has a better codec despite being HDV and 1440x1080i.

The FX1 is a beast, I loved the camera but the GH1 has far more versitility with regards DOF and lenses. And yes, with the right lens, it's sharper and more detailed too.
