Strobing/ Lack of Blur on pans?

But the stuttering that I see in those videos isn't the typical stutter you get with 24 fps, it's something different.

How is it different?

Keep in mind that you are viewing video streaming over the web. You don't really know the shutter speeds of the various videos you are seeing. You don't really know if the flash app that is playing the video is running at the appropriate speed and/or if any frames are being dropped. Also, some of the video you've linked to was shot at 30 fps and then converted to 24 fps. Then, of course, there is the issue of the lens stabilization with the 14-140mm lens when it might be used in some of these examples. In short, you have lots of variables at work that are unaccounted for. So I'd be very careful about drawing any general conclusions.

Because my DVX shoots 24 fps as well, and it looks vastly different than this footage. I downloaded the original video of the last video I posted, and that has the ugly stuttering as well.

Again, if anyone can post some videos of the GH1 with some decent looking movement, it might help me. I haven't found a good test video for that yet.
 
download source file (as you've done) and burn a bluray, or even dvd compliant, and watch it on your hdtv....dude, things look far different on the internet, and often better, believe it or not.

When I asked how the footage was different, I was referring to the look, not the source. My understanding is that the DVX cameras shoot with two different pulldown methods. Each might look a little different.

BTW, the standard 14-140mm HD lens for the GH1 has an image stabilization mode where it only tries to stabilize in the vertical access. This is specifically designed to give image stabilization while doing pans. So, what happens if someone shoots with that lens and has the image stabilization set "wrong?"
 
Diego,

I'd say don't strap yourself.

These new cameras (DSLR's) DO NOT make you a better shooter or film maker. They do however, force you to know the basics of film. Film is gone but all the parameters of film remain the same. You will need these skills to make pretty pictures with DSLR's

Learn how to shoot...I mean really shoot with your DVX. Give an experienced DP ANY camera and he/she will be able to make art. Ever see the "short" that essentially sold "Napoleon Dynamite" to MTV for a million dollars? It was technically crap!!! It was all about the content and the message being conveyed.

I don't know if you are paying for film school or what. Film school is freakin spendy. You have an effective, albeit somewhat antiquated, tool. If you trade up to the GH1 all you will have is a body and lens. You'll then have to spend lots more money to have a tool that is as versatile as the DVX. Make the best of what you have and do not rely on technology to advance your skills.

People are making beautiful images with these new cameras but it wasn't the camera that chose the angles, set shutter speeds, found the right light etc....

Best of luck.
