GH1 First impressions and footage

By the way...anyone knows where one can buy the GH1...even if it is from Japan?
I've looked online but google is not helping me...

Hey Philip:

awesome stuff! quick question...can you monitor audio coming into the GH1? Also, where did you purchase your Nikon adapter? Finally...can we also see the super 8 footage and that lovely Canon Scoopic I saw on your video? :)

Thanks for the footage Philip, I'm sold... my D90 will be on ebay soon. can't wait for the GH1 to be available in Canada. :)
 
does this mean that if I purchase the camera from a Japanese site, all the menus will be in Japanese or is there a language option?

Thanks for the info...cool looking pics....the dog one...sweet D.O.F.

By the way...do you have an Ebay store link to the dudes you bought the adapter from. So far, I ordered two different things from Ebay coming from China...1 year later, they are still somewhere in the world...not had much luck at international purchasing...if you got your adapter, then i would feel comfortable ordering from wherever you did

Phil, are you shooting 25 fps (in 50i)? Kholi is reporting aliasing, are you seeing that? If caused by 24 fps (in 60i) pulldown, maybe the 25 fps option is better? Kholi also thinks it might be the kit lens, but you are now using a Nikon prime -- does that footage suffer from aliasing?
 
Sorry Philip, what do you mean by not competing on the same level as MKII? Do you mean the MK II performs better as far as aliasing goes?I haven't seen anything too atrocious, just distracting as far as i'm concerned.

sorry i meant in low light...getting same aliasing as you.
 
Yeah, looks like the MKii definitely still wins in lowlight. No real doubt about that. Looks like the MKii has more aliasing though from samples I've seen.

it is what it is!

I think it would be naive to think that the GH1 sensor, which is almost 4 times smaller than the full frame Canon, will give the same low light results.

I so hope that the samsung NX will solve any problems the GH1 has... a lot of silence from Samsung lately, maybe something good is being prepared [fingers crossed].

Anyway, not to go off topic, the GH1, with its sensor is amazing even to be able to be compared with the 5D...
 
Looking forward to the NX myself. Larger Sensor, but Samsung's hand in actual VIDEO is something else non-existant. So we'll really have to see about that.

Count on me grabbing one to play with for sure.
