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

That lack of external monitoring (assuming there's no undiscovered fix for it) is a huge reason why this camera doesn't kill 35mm adapters. Unfortunate.

Still, can't wait to see some of the outstanding footage that's probably about to start cropping up.

Post the car footage, Kholi!
You're teasing us too much. You need to give us a little something something.

I want to post something but I'm refraining from doing so because it's not ready just yet.

Hunter and Philip have cameras, they can do the posting first. I'm in no rush to show-off anything that isn't worth looking at. I define that as an actual production.

Also, I don't feel like battling anyone on detail nitpicking. I dunno the camera in and out and I have no patience for that.

I'll wait, but I'm happy to answer questions right now.
 
Kholi, I really want to know more about the audio jack. Is it usable? Can you post a sound test from an external mic?

I actually have no internal mics to test with it. Well let me take that back, I do but I don't have that jack converted.

Philip Bloom has the actual Panasonic Mic, though. I suspect he'll be the one to ask about the audio.
 
Does anyone think there's a chance Panny will tweak the firmware to optimize AVCHD or any other features before US release? I'm slightly disappointed that we have to deal with 60i wrapper in 1080P mode, and no 24fps @ 720P... minor quibbles really.
 
squig: "scanning ebay for lenses" -- yeah, I just bought a manual 16mm Sigma prime (though not on ebay). Got to go to bed now, goodnight folks...looking forward to reading a thousand new posts tommorow!

Don't quote me, but the HVX does the same thing I heard.

I lobbied the Panasonic factory guys at NAB to release a version of the GH1 to the broadcast division. That would open up PH mode (720/24p, 1080/24pN, and 24mbps recording). They're listening, but I don't know whether they'll do it.

Where's Isaac Brody at? ISAAC!? What did I tell you man?

Just scratching the surface. With people like Barry stepping in man. WHOO
 
Thanks Barry. It's good to know they listen...

One more question to the general community here. If one doesn't have old Canon FD lenses or Nikkor lenses... is there a better way to go on that? More lenses available on one side or the other? Better prices? Advice would be appreciated.

Is auto focus good enough for event work?

With some practice and taming I definitely think so. You can use AF and MF in conjunction with each other as well, so you're not just stuck with Auto Focus at any time. At least with the kit lens.

there are literally tonnes of lenses you can mount to this sucker with the right adapters. check the lens thread. Or google 4/3 adapters. I'm doing my head in trying to choose a 50mm

so I can sack my focus puller?
