GH13 GH1 Sensor Change

[simorq]

My camera is out of warranty. I want to change my camera sensor. Because images not clean. How much is the sensor price and change process? Does anyone have a knowledge about it.

Probably cheaper to just buy another used GH1.

Who wants to replace a GH1 sensor? Doesn't make sense. Just go by a GH2 and evolve. The GH1 never had a "clean" sensor.

I was going to state the obvious, but thank you to the forum members above. Buy a GH2, no sense or reason to replace the sensor as the labor if even possible would cost more. Or if anything buy another GH1. After the banding issues with the GH1 I simply had to sell my camera for Canon dslrs. Now after the hack with GH2 it is comparable or even better IQ wise to Canon. GH3 should be out next month, I can't wait.

** Upon judging the picture you posted you need to understand your shot needs lighting. Underexposure is NOT a strength of the GH cameras.

Thanks for all replies... But some of the sensors are very clean. e.g. http://vimeo.com/47156677

That video you posted had light, a lot of it. Yours had none. Also that video was color corrected and graded.
