Does anyone have a good recommendation for a Flash for Still Camera work on the Gh3?
Shoudl I just opt for the Panny Flashes? They have some ranging from $200-400!
Thanks!
 
i got myself an oly FL-50R for high shutter speed sync. i wish the gh3 had the oly wireless flash protocol....maybe it does, dont have a gh3 yet? Its on the higher end of the price range though lol. the panna flashes look like rebranded oly ones imo cause it looks identical to my oly...not sure if they have a pana wireless protol? If you dont need the high shutter speed sync there are cheaper alternatives.
 
Will my Yongnuo flashes work on a gh3? I use them on my canon 550D, but was thinking about getting a gh3 and selling my 550D.
How are the stills holding up? To what dlsr model quality can you refer them too? Do you think its better then a 550d?

Cheers

Mr Fanny, do you know off hand what shutter speed the GH3 is capable of in high shutter speed sync?

I'm in the process of adding a M43 system to my Nikon gear. I've been using a GH2 for the past years for motion work, but never really cared to use it for serious still work. With the advent of the GH3 I'm looking to start using it for stills work for the right job. My biggest reservation is the shutter speed sync of 160th and the speedlight situation. The Nikon speedlight system is a tough act to follow.

Anyway, what kind of sync speeds can you get in high speed shutter sync mode?

Thanks
 
you can crank it up all the way to 1/4000 on a gh2 with the FL-50R. i would assume it wouldnt be any different on a gh3. after a bit of googling, the gh3 does appear to run the oly wireless protocol =)
