New G1 footage

Very short clips, with limited range. Have to say it would be hard to do anything with a "Heres a camera for a few hours" in Japan the last few days... nothing but rain.

Lots of dark areas not showing much noise so thats a plus.
 
oh man, I'm away from home and have a slow connection! Can't check out these clips 'til tomorrow. Argh!

What does everyone think?

Ten(10) being XH-A1
Zero(0) being my camera phone...

Haha, anyway, can't wait 'til tomorrow when I get home!

And that makes me think cameras tested by Mikko must have had been set in Auto (or at least auto Gain). There was just too much noise in those images and the whole set was dark. In comparison, Sony's presentation looked like the sunny day on the beach.
 
Yeah and I still think it could be less. This guy only had the cam a short time and doesnt have the low down like Elton does. Still pretty good. Many thanks for him for getting them up of course. As soon as I can Im going to fiddle with Eltons settings and compare.

Yeah I am jealous as hell :P
 
I agree, it could be somewhat cleaner, but the scene was actually low light situation. It looks like the camera was simply picking dark greys in the background, possibly more with Black set Stretch. That's why Elton suggested Middle or Press settings.

OK I will play!

It depends...

IMHO (but I didn't see yet all the footage available, be careful!)

7-8 if compared with the other footage from the same shooter;

6-7 if compared with the Michael Pappas lowlight footage;

EDIT -- Just in terms of comparision (in order to understand my criteria) I'd say that I'd give:

2-3 to what I could see from the IBC presentation posted over here (so, at least, you have 2x more than the last information available) even if, it was posted XLH1 footage too; with lower performance (4-5? maybe not even) far away from what we know coming from the Robert stuff or the Steven ducks.

Oh my gosh, I just downloaded two 24f (pan across fountain & pan across buds).

This footage absolutely blows me away. Even for such low light, there doesn't seem to be much if any noise.

Going back and looking at the V1u footage, there is no comparison. Expecially taking into consideration the low light aspect.

I can't wait!
 
The bokeh is very nice there, so is the dark areas in the bakground. I thought it would be noisier. It would be cool to see some real noise tests and comparisions when this camera has hit the market.
 
Yeh, the bokeh is perfect, hexagonal and everything! So nice!

I seriously wanna get this ASAP!!!

when will it be available in US? Still looking like middle of this month?

Me want! Me want!

(so glad I saved the money)
 
Yeah, seriously. This thing looks sweet. If Panasonic doesn't announce anything before spring next year I think they might lose a costumer (me).
 
I'm not judging this footage by content, but my image. And if you guys have yet to check this out on an HDTV you're doing yourself a massive disservice. These clips are great for what they are.

I'm pretty much sold on the A1.
 
Unless you're a botanist film maker it would be usefull to see some skintones instead of wet plants.
