One Reason to get the 5D over all

Boz said:
5Dii is strong, no doubt. But it still doesn't have 24P (and my guess is that if it does it will be wrapped in 60i due to the 60hz timing of the sensor). It will never have 60P. It doesn't have an flip out LCD. It will always have jello, and it costs close to $3000 (after taxes). The GH1 had a chance to best it, but the Panny dropped the ball on that big time with their crap codec. So now I wait for the 'next' cam (60D? D400?) until we get a combo of 24P, minimal jello, manual controls, and a lower price. Someone will do it, and at the rate things are developing I don't think I'll have too wait long.

Yeah, I agree. My thread title is misleading. I meant the best reason to get it over all other reasons on this specific camera would be the stills. Not over any other camera.

I still think the GH-1 is the most versatile well rounded camera. It's image doesn't quite get to MKii but its not too far off either. Just some tweaking, that's all.

If you can wait, I'd say go for it. I'm pretty happy with my two decisions and await to see some more stuff.

Hmmm... If that's true, then I'm wondering what sort of tweaking would be able to bring the GH-1 up to the 5D's level.
 
I agree with you ydgmdlu. I've seen the worst shot 5d footage looking amazing. Also on vimeo the 5d seems to be the most consistent with its smooth looking compression.

Just the natural progression of technology. My first bet is a progressive 1080/24. The 720/60 from the GH-1 is right about there.

Second is a better processor in future models.

Maybe by the GH-2 or whatever, it'll be there. But again, it's not too drastic. Coming from experience with both cameras. Others may find different from online samples. Subjection varies anyway.

The GH1 is an awesome camera; the only thing that really screws it up is the horrible implemented codec. The truth is, if they could firmware upgrade the codec for 1080, that cameras image would improve. I don't need a full sensor, however the mushy video that camera produces is totally unacceptable.

As well HDMI output.

To bad that they need to go to a GH2 just to fix that codec.

Yeah I'm beginning to think it's a sensor progression. That's okay though. For Traditional Cinematic styles the GH-1 will work out for a lot of people. Both cameras are crippled and awesome in their own ways.

It's good to have both and not have to choose. LoL. I took the easy route out.

Reminds me of a friend of friend of a friend that had two beautifully stunning girls, however he couldn't decided which one to marry. So he married both, and keeps one in the closet, and rotates them out depending on his daily needs......


So essentially you got both thrill rides which have differing peaks and valleys!

When the 60D comes out, you might then have a threesome in your hands! Or is that foursome! Hmmmm

LOL. Damned gir-- I mean cameras.

I still got it in for that Samsung NX's specs. Can't wait to see what those are about. But now it's time to pace some GH-1 footages, see if a pair of these suckers is doable for the f--

oops.
 
LOL......

There's always another............. The Closet; it's big enough! I should've said Fivesome!

Save some of your money; upgrade the closet to a grotto........ :-)

Now that's a party!
