It was you all along!!! LoL.

Don't worry, you'll probably get out footage before me. I'm not posting a SINGLE thing until I've got these settings down. But I'll report on my findings as far as what the camera's offering.

This thing has already run the D90 into the ground.

Congrats Koli,

You just might be the only person of almost 300 million people in the USA that has their own GH1 at the moment......

Glad to know the GH1 is everything and more.

The new DVX, has been born........................

I'm gonna go ahead and post up some answers to questions before I do a full write-up:

1. LIVE HDMI = No. Doesn't Look like so, folks.

2. USB to Composite Video Cable Included = Thanks Panasonic!

3. Rolling Shutter = RED ONE spec. Quote me on it. I waved this sucker around at 140mm looking for rolling shutter and it's just so scant that I'm speechless. Panasonic's Video department needs to take a lesson from the stills department. PERIOD.

4. Image Quality = Sucker looks like EX-1/RED @ 1080. Straight out of the HDMI into a Production Monitor all I gotta say is "fin~"

5. Manual Control Extent = EVERYTHING. I do mean EVERYTHING.

6. Custom Color Profile = DId you even have to ask? YES. And just wait til you see this stuff with the NOISE REDUCTION off. Yeah, it comes standard ON with this camera. >=D

7. Shutter speeds: 1/40, 1/50, 1/60 -- I can live with that.

8. ISO - 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1600, 3200 in Video Mode

9. Flip Out LCD - Seriously? Did Panasonic actually make this thing? The LCD is awesome. Stick it up to yoru eye and BOOP (sound effects there) you get the Viewfinder. Sick.

10. Overheating -- Camera's been on for an hour so far. No overheating. Awesome feature on this: it turns the LCD off until the lens picks up motion, then it snaps back on. Sweet.

Hanging to take delivery of my slightly retarded son of panavision

If I don't die of swine flu first
 
How sharp is the AVC codec at 17Mbps?
And what about MotionJPEG?

Please upload Raw footages in both formats if you can!

No Live HDMI...? :cry: :crybaby:
 
I say don't rush to post footage. We've seen enough off the cuff stuff. Do it right and shoot a scene with dynamic range, light it up, please shoot something cinematic if possible even though I understand if it's not really a movie or well budgeted.
 
Yeah, if you don't give us footage today, then you want to give us Reverie when you do! :-)

im just worried about the workflow for pp cs3. i know avchd isn't easy on editors. unless there is a way to convert the footage into a more suitable format. Similarly to the HMC150. apparently it requires a tough computer to edit thi stuff without long rendering times or even real time playback.
 
Composite Video -- Haven't had a chance to test.

Finster on Lenses -- Zeiss Contax Set, Tokina 11-16mm, some of the Infamous Zeiss Zooms and primes and then next week Cooke S4's and Superseeds.

Footage -- Yeah I'm not just gonna post up flowers. There's enough of that already.

AVCHD Codec -- I can't tell if my camera was a little hot or if it's the SLOW SDHC cards that I have!!! I forgot I needed 30MBPS cards!!! So I'mma hit Best Buy and pick up an 8GB tonight, get rid of my 2 4GBs and then ordered some more 8gbs.

So Far though it looks pretty damned robust on this production monitor. I have seen it break up, but it might be faulty on my end because I'm changing SO many settings without knowing.

UPDATE ON ISO SETTINGS: After rummaging through the menus I've noticed that some of the custom settings bleed over. So I unlocked SEVERAL ISO SETTINGS!
