No this is AVCHD 17 Mbps @ 24p (in a 60i wrapper) 1080 and then some.
The Panasonic G1HD | GH-1 Video Mode : A Real Video Mode
- Thread starter Kholi
- Start date
Noticed your BVI video, I'll be doing the same after hurricane season. I'm go to PM you if thats alright. Nice time lapse BTW.
A big thanks to Kholi on all this. I'm sitting here in a pool of my own saliva wondering why we have no FIRM North American release date yet.
Like every camera there's going to be some negatives but the '+'s seem to be keeping the '-'s high in the air on this see-saw. I planned to shoot an hour long thingy in June but now I just want to shoot yesterday. Hurry!
Did I miss anything on the availability to have a live feed out to a monitor?

Regarding the lens you used: the Schneider Cinegon 10mm/F1.8
Did you get a lot of vignetting on the G1, for example did you have to crop each still image in that time lapse?
Its not an expensive lens for wide and bright.
Negatives are gonna show up in the Bitrate. I found it breaking up in high motion when I mounted it to the sunroof, but for moderate motion it's pretty good!
Also, no monitoring when recording aside from the LCD and Viewfinder.
But look, it's a step in the right direction. Some of this stuff sounds like firmware tweaks to me.

I mean, it's not THAT big of a deal that I cant use an external monitor. I'm not necessarily using it for framing/focusing, but I'd rather look at a large enough screen when viewing a scene instead of the lcd on a camera. Ah well. Maybe I'll use one to playback scenes so no money is wasted.

No VFRs with this camera, right?

The SDHC cards allow 45-50Mb/s...a much better number. Canon does that on the SX1 ($600) and 5DM2.

No external monitor will be a problem for some jib/crane use.
Telephoto End + OIS, the codec broke pretty easily to me. But I suspect wide might be better purely because the perceived speed of detail going by is much less slower.
I'll find out shortly here when I walk back outside.
Jello on a Car -- Very acceptable. If you get really bad jutters you CAN see the jello, but it's definitely nowhere near as bad as the D90 or MKii.
By Jutters I mean: I stopped the car and while it was idling you can see the shutter a'rollin'. But when the vehicle moves it's smooth.

Panasonic lives in this fantasy land where you take the card out of the GH1 and pop it into your Viera TV and watch your footage in AVCHD glory. Im in the choir for using MP4 files and whatever bitrate the user wishes to use, but I don't think they can hear us singing!
Update:
Well, hmm, it seems that their TVs don't have SDHC slots so I am not sure why they went with AVCHD.

That also means no Steadicam reference monitor... But you could get away with a Merlin since the camera is so light.

that's where the AF kit lens will come in handy, if you don't mind f/4
