GH1 First impressions and footage

I think you need an account to download more than a 1GB file.

can't wait to see the video. it's still transcoding...

btw, any footage is great but if can, a comparison with the EX1 would be great!
 
Geeeez! Philip Bloom you make cameras fly! I just saw your footage. At least to me your first try of the GH1 was just amazing. There is absolutely nothing to complaint about. The pool shots are great! With basically no lights, wow. The color, the sharpness and hand held to boot. Wow, thanks a lot. Keep them coming. Can't wait for your Hawaii footage.

BTW: This was originally the 1080p AVCHD mode right?

what sort of comparison? you mean side by side?

i can tell you now that the ex1 codec is way more robust...
the dof is more shallow with gh1...
low light will be much better with gh1...
ex1 is better overall video cam still...
but this little thing is going to be amazing...
 
Screw the GH1. I want that Canon 814 Super 8 film camera! :happy:

Seriously - great footage Philip. You were using the kit lens the whole time, right?
 
Just watched the 1080p version. Wow. For $1500 bucks, it's a stunner. Sure the EX1 has a better codec and the Red more dynamic range and resolution, but man, this is the clear bang for the buck winner of any video cam. And unlike the HV20/30/40 or D90/5D, not hobbled by horrible usability issues.

Thanks a ton for shooting and posting this. Now, just trying to resist ordering a Japanese version...
 
I downloaded the 1080p version as well, I think I've watched it about 5 times. It looks a lot better than a $1500 dollar camera has the right to look. I can't wait to see this camera with some ND filters and faster lenses.

This is much appreciated Philip. I bow down to your awesomness and your new short hair cut. If I had a helicopter I would loan it to you. :)
