GH2 No 25p possible in GH2 hack

[mr bill]

And still 24fps movies are broadcast at 25 without any problems.

You will have only problems if you can't for some reason do 24-25p speedup or you have to mix materials with 25p cameras.

Nothing I'm involved with making runs at 24fps - be that broadcast or corporate work. So I'm stuck with 25fps, and that's the only reason I haven't bought a GH2 yet.

You may get what you want in December though...25p may well be on the way from Panny firmware upgrade (now they have nothing to lose from a firmware upgrade)

He doesn't say there will never be 25p. Even if he did say that, Vitaliy's not in control of it. All Vitaliy knows is that he can't do it with his resources and knowledge. Panasonic can do it, and I believe they will.

Do you have any idea when in December the update is coming?

Panasonic Japan says "The new firmware update program for DMC-GH2 will be available worldwide from the beginning of December."

When it comes, if it comes, I'm guessing it will be in the usual place:

Finger's crossed for 25p, and other good stuff!

sigh - the day is nearly gone over here, and no sign..

but will you risk loosing the hack ( for a while, at least) if they'll try to "destroy" it in the new firmware?

I'll have 25p
