Versatile little buggers. Is amazing how they are shrinking in size but producing a better image. In the case of wedding work it won't be much of a difference to the client because the photos are being taken with a DSLR anyway, so they are familiar with them. I like them because they are light and even if I shot hand held all day my arms won't hurt at all. I am also a pro photographer and very comfortable with the form factor.

Yep, mount them everywhere. It really opens up so many possibilities for creative shots and it's smaller & lighter than the 5DII.
I don't even need to scuba dive anymore, I'm gong to buy a waterproof housing for $500 and put one on a 12 foot pole from the boat above, I'll no longer scare away the fish from my air bubbles and movement. Stealth!
The possiblities are endless!
The wave of the future
The wave of the future You'd be incredible surprised how useful the OIS on the kit lens is. I have some pretty shakey hands and I can handle this thing @ telephoto in excess of 400mm.
That's the say, by using the crop (x2) in camera, that's 140 x 2 which is 280 x 2 = 560mm telephoto.
the footage looks incredible @ 500mm, and the OIS lets me track quite well.
The Kit Lens is a MUST keep.

I heard you might be able to use it as a hammer too. Very resourceful.

yeah with a 2.5lb anamorphic lens attached
People use glidecam for the "flying effect" its a visual thing. OIS or not its not the same, not even close, you wont' get footage like glidecam by hanholding a camera not matter how good the OIS or your skills are. And I was having a dig when I mentioned the glidecam thing,,, you know, just being a bit childish like this whole thread has been.
You could probably crack open a beer with that. This camera could have it all.
I'm not sure anyone posted this in this thread but it relates to the topic.

I don't know how I missed this. It's night footage shot at 1600 iso and it's absolutely gorgeous. I recommend downloading and watching at 720P.

yeah when I saw that I was almost convinced I could shoot my feature with this thing. I'll be convinced when I can get my hands on one or when kholi pulls his finger out and shows me some grading.
"Blue sniff" is his moniker and I'd like to send a big 'shout' to him. Between the info on this forum and his many uploads I'm certain, for me, this is an amazing cam to have. If he isn't a Panny rep he should be.
In my country too, friend, but they're usually wrapped in snowballs.
