The Panasonic G1HD | GH-1 Video Mode : A Real Video Mode

I think panasonic made a mistake, the camera is too good for the price- especially for the indie/low-budget niche market. Full manual control? What the heck were they thinking?

Lets make a petition to get these pulled off the shelfs before they come to the US! Either that or add firmware to cripple the camera in some way. Too much bang for the buck.
 
A little note on Barry's footage:

I am PRETTY sure that the reason Barry got footage he wasn't impressed with is because of the auto settings that were employed. I shot some stuff at 100 ISO and cripes it's pretty friggin' smooth!!!!

I'm going to go ahead and subscribe to Vimeo so that I can have freedom uploading clips.
 
Hunter shhh! They haven't announced the street price for the rest of us!

Imaginate I already have 3 girls......4 is too much trouble

The big question is how will kholi on crack's red lookalike look after it gets spat out of fcp?
 
This is really exciting - now I don't know what to do with my D90. As a DSLR it might still outperform the GH1 but for video there definitely seems to be a new king in town. Counting down the days until June...

Kholi, are you saying it only does three shutter speeds, 1/40, 1/50, and 1/60? What about at 60p? Or do you mean it's increments of /10. If so, what's the total range? I don't mind keeping this sucker locked at 1/50 rather than 1/48 at any rate.

... 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. ...

Hi Kholi: Is there a "class" rating on the SDHC cards you've been using? Are they class 4, or class 6, or something else (what does the label on the card say)? Thanks!

Understatement. I KNOW there's stuff in the menus I haven't found yet. I mean, just after making the incremental values for ISO's available I KNEW I wasn't even really touching this thing.

Good Grief.

Note: I just ate for the first time today. Whoo
 
I'm about to get a friend to pick me up a GH1 in Japan and ship it to me. I cant wait any longer for the US version.
 
Okay stupid question, but I got to ask. Will this ever come with a battery grip for vertical shooting? Hands are to big to use it comfortably as a still camera (use to a 5D with grip).

This thing has already run the D90 into the ground.

Besides those that own a D90, I think that is what we all wanted to hear.

Do you want us to FED EX some Ramen noodles to you? We don't want you passing out from malnutrition while doing your camera tests.

Also, another question about the LCD... is there only the magnification focus assist, or do they give you a peaking function as well?
