Here is a set of highlights from a local BMX competition that I filmed with my GH2 + 35-100mm F2.8 @ F2.8 and my new GoPro 3 Black mounted to the hot shoe. The clicking noise in some of the clips is the GH2 taking stills while the GoPro Recorded video.

I know the editing is poor in this video. I shot WAY TOO MANY things this weekend and just didn't have time to do the editing justice. Take it for what it is. Just a bunch of samples from both cameras.

I tried editing the colors on the first few clips but after that I just didn't have time. I shot in 720p 60 FPS and F2.8 for the GH2 shots(Can you tell which one those are?). And I shot at 720p @ 120 FPS Narrow angle non-Protune, 720p @ 120 FPS Wide angle Pro-tune, 1080p @ 60 FPS Medium Angle Pro-tune, and 2.7K @ 30 FPS Pro-tune for the Go-Pro 3.

Can you tell which clips are what resolution and frame rates for the GoPro? Hint, several of the clips having very bad aliasing in the fence in the background. That is eliminated by using a narrower field of view.

How did people already get their hands on the GoPro Black? I'm a bit jealous.
 
Nice - the GH2 with that zoom makes the GoPro stuff look like blob'ish crap (granted that is not the best focal point use for a GoPro). Superior optics are superior for a reason, lol. It looks like that lens is a real keeper!

Too bad you didn't shoot any ETC stuff with that lens...

Although $1400 is a tough pill to swallow coming from buying the classic Sigma APO 70-210/2.8 35mm glass at ~ $350 a pop.

I tried ETC with the 35-100mm and quite honestly it is just too hard to hand hold the video like that for moving subjects. I haven't seen any problems with sharpness at 100mm like other people have so I didn't feel the need for ETC.
 
oh yeah, tripod mounted is a must - my motivation for asking is for more reach. If you would like to humor me :) with a quick look, I sure would appreciate it!
