GH2 Rumors Thread

What would really be cool and freaky was if Tester13 was really the Panasonic engineering staff. That would be the greatest marketing ploy in the history of commerce! This is blowing Canon's doors off.

However, I seriously doubt that corporations have that kind of savvy...

That has crossed my mind too! LOL!
 
Hasn't crossed my mind. Damn. Goosebumps damn.

Somebody should shoot this, and substitute the GH13 for something like a cure for some deadly outbreak or some supercomputer movie thing that makes viewers go aaaah. Just pimp out every single emotion that happened here. Wacky idea, but it's material, that temporary goodbye the breakthroughs the theories, all that. Fun stuff.

And you find out in the end that the main character (based on tester13) is part of the system it looks like he's been hacking all this time.

I mean, it'd be a movie, so it could end any way you like.

And if someone does get the crazy idea to shoot this sequence of events and tweak around and have fun with it, have tester13 write the ending for funsies, it'd only be fair, and that much more badass.

I don't know about yalls (did I say yalls?) but movies for me is so I can make up ALL my own endings, the fiction of it gets me off. It's daydream city. And the amount of emotions I've felt here with this thread are 35mm worthy :)

It's silly, but yeah, if he were panasonic, that would be one sick ass twist at the end of the film.

Cheers all. Reading away, and hopefully not posting over the lines :)

Glad you mentioned this and not me. I was too afraid to mention this a week ago. :laugh:
 
So the common prediction for the GH2 announcement is Photokina in September, right? Does this mean it will ship in Winter/Spring 2011?

I can imagine that they'd wait to release it until after the AF-100 comes out to avoid cannibalization of sales.

Hmm, I'm not a marketing expert, but these two cameras seem to be in such different categories (and pricepoints) that sales cannibalization is probably a very minor concern.
 
Yes, I think you have a point there. I'd much rather have a camera w/XLR inputs and built-in NDs, zebra stripes, etc. But I might change my mind if the GH2 introduced a global shutter, eliminating jello and skew.
 
I would have liked to have seen Tester13 change his name to Ivan Vanko :D (Iron Man 2 reference)
Concerning the comedy/drama/tragedy/triumph aspects of the GH1 firmware hack epic here on DVXuser, the film it most reminds me of is Monty Python's "Life of Brian". :cheesy:

GH2 new

Is GH2 is coming anytime soon? I was going to buy GH1 but a friend of mine telling me not to buy GH1 cuz GH2 will come out by next month. is this true or i am just westing my time... can somebody tell me please thank u.
 
If your friend really knows, he wouldn't be able to tell you anything without violating some kind of corporate non-disclosure agreement. So he doesn't know any more than anyone else.

Soonest I'd look for a GH2 announcement would be Photokina in September.

Bottom line… If you need a camera now, get one.
 
YES!!! Where do I pre-order my GH2?? I'll take the GH2, and one of those elusive Lumix 100-300mm lenses, please! ;)
 
Realistically these bodies are pretty darned cheap anyway. Invest in a kit or buy one off ebay for $500. Keep the lenses and when the "2" comes out sell the "1" body and trade up. I don't see the "2" being THAT much sexier then "1" anyhow". They'll reserve all the sexy for the AF100.
 
Not to mention...it's always cool to have a 2nd camera body for backup or a second angle! GH1's are so cheap, why not!
