GH2 hack update

CNN Newsflash,

World Market completely sold-out Panasonic GH2, no more stock for the forseable future, Panasonic are reviewing situation pending announcement!
 
Vitilay - if you aren't kidding my friend - this will turn you into a living legend. Say it ain't so that you are pulling our legs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No offence to Vitilay but he doesn't 'seem' to be joking in his posts. I have not often grasped him as having an overt sense of humour - just my online internet perception. I hope I am right and that we can get 4:4:4 out of the HDMI port. That would be just ridiculous..........

I hope this isn't a joke.

I've found Vitaliy to be pretty striaght-forward thus far, so I have faith in him!

Great news!
 
oh c'mon face the truth. Vitaliy responded to this thread 2 times and didn't say anything about it NOT being an april fool's joke. So guess what it is...
 
Oh, please Vitaly... Say it isn't an April Fool's joke! I'd be happy with only a slightly higher bitrate. Even only 35Mbps would rock in AVCHD!
 
HAHA, He had me going as well, until I read 4:4:4 hdmi, then the red flags went up. I don't even think it's possible with the gh2. the other options, well, maybe. This has to be a joke. If not, and it's possible, I will be snding in a donation. Regardless, Vitaley is an amzing guy. SMART is an understatement.

Same response here. But I just waited till someone else brought it up...lol
 
While I hesitate to say whether or not this *might* be a joke since VK does seem to have a good sense of humor but can also be very to-the-point, why wouldn't 4:4:4 be doable?

Why wouldn't the GH2 share some of the future ability of the AF100?

It'd be silly for them not to share the work that has been done with similar designs with the same parts. I'd fully expect the GH2 to be capable of everything the AF100 is and even what they intend for the future. Putting huge amounts of money into a single model design is wasteful.
 
Vitaliiiiy! It is strange Vitaliy nor denying nor confirming what he said if first post but, he replies as if it was true. If it is, I'll be sending juicy donations to the man!
 
holy moly...what to believe????..if this true..WooooOOOOOooT. exiting times ahead, oh yeah! Vitaliy is the man!11
 
When Vitaliy first announced the GH1 hack there must have some who were like - yeah right - will believe it when I see it. Only saying - and look where that lead........if this is a joke - BA is gonna have to sort you out man!!!!! -:costumed-smiley-047
 
They do have April Fools day in Russia you know. Much as i want to believe this (especially the 720/120 part)
 
We've been had, well I wasnt, but you guys were;

"
April Fools' Day (рус .День смеха) is a non-official holiday celebrated in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and some other countries on April 1. Traditionally jokes are played on family members, friends, co-workers, neighbours on this day. Hoaxes and sending someone on fool's errands are most popular and usually work if a person has forgotten about the date.
The first April day trick was played in Russia in Moscow in 1703. Town criers were wondering the city and inviting everyone to come and see the unprecedented performance. Huge masses of people gathered to watch it and when finally the curtains were drawn, people just saw as stretched canvas with the words : "Do not believe anyone on April 1". And no performance actually took place.
Speaking about April 1 we often recall the annual Humoryna festival (festival of humor) carried out on and around the April Fool's Day in Odessa, Ukraine. Unlike other countries and cities April 1 is an official day off in Odessa and a merry feast including tricks, shows, concerts and fireworks. The culmination of the celebration is Odessa carnival held on Sobornaya square. "
 
Cruel but funny! I have to admit.

I wonder if its even possible to connect the GH2 hardware to a new image processor? Bypassing all the limitations of the GH2 if say a computer program could emulate the firmware?
