Micro four thirds shooting video!

:-( HDMI HDMI .. Does it give a 24P or 30P signal over HDMI ? Without overlays ? Ahhh The torture...
 
If you visit Panasonics' website for the G1 there's a place where it says "HD Movie" and then "Coming soon" :)
 
"Capture HD motion images too. In the future, the LUMIX G Micro System will let you record VGA, WVGA and high resoltution progressive HD motion images. This capability is made possible by the Micro Fourd Thirds System standar, which provides an increased number of electrical contacts that allows a greater amount of data to be transffered. With the Lumix G Micro System you can record strikingly beautiful motion images that will bring you to a whole new world of imaging (...) not offered on the DMC-G1".

There' some video smaples there, but they're too small to come to any conclusions. There's a video with some birds that has nice depth of fiel, latitude and contrast. Could be promissing if they play the right cards. One good sign is that they showed some footage with a lot of motion (some gilrs running) and there were no rolling shutter issues.

When is Spring in Japan?
 
Hmm Under the HD video it says "Not offered with the DMC-G1" So its confirmed that the G1 will not record..
Now, Panny please give us 24P on the HDMI at least without overlays..
 
The G1 will not be the micro four thirds HD camera we were hoping for, but I have a strong feeling a similar model WITH HD capabilities will be introduced soon (maybe photokina?).
Did you guys see the video samples?
 
Well. All I need is a HDMI signal that is 24P or 25P. It does not need to be recorded in camera either..
:-( I guess they have not even provided that..
 
BTW, this thread SHOULD be moved to the photography corner...

I just sent an email to the moderator suggesting a new subdirectory for multifunction image capture devices.

There could be a subdirectory in the Panasonic section for Panasonic's multifunction image capture devices, or better still an entire directory dedicated to cameras like this, the D90, etc. under the names their various brands. Seems like there is plenty of interest here and it would be great to have the postings organized under their own banner...
 
The only adjustment necessary is to rename this forum. Subforums aren't going to get anywhere near enough traffic to justify splitting things up imo.
