Panasonic reacted encripting its GH1 and GH2 firmware. In this moment it's still something that the big company does not understand. While on the IT market is quite common, it is really a big news here. Take a look on this nice article of a Sky New reporter:Īs a side note, It's important to see how things are changing in the image market: customers are oriented by the job of other users with their aftermarket modifications. Size matters! For travelling purposes because you are an occasional shooter or just because you don't want a camera setup bigger than you tank underwater On the photo forum here I see a growing number of people moving to smaller camera/setup. These pro orient the market with their video and photos. Nikon and Canon will always have the advantage of their countless pro users which are tied to them with thousand of dollars of lens and gear (aka lock-in). the music keeps playing.Īs in the IT market, your best deal is always the forthcoming model So Panasonic will came out with a GH3 Nkon with a new model and. Then you will have to wait for some other months to get a housing. So in the next few days or weeks we will have the next big thing form Canon. No matter what people says, 7D o 5DMKII can't compete with overall quality.

Big announcements starting in the next couple of days apparently.Ĭurrently no other DSRL shoots like the GH2. It's really swayed me toward the Panasonics, but I'm eagerly waiting to see what Canon come out with in the near future. On that shot the Driftwood-hacked GH2 p****s all over the 7D from a great height. I would suggest people using them underwater in low light would benefit from what I have done too. Yes the problem of Moire is still there, shooting flat or what ever, its still there on full wide / infinity focus. I was chatting to a pro real estate camera guy here today and he showed me his knees lol he uses a fixed LCD camera. Yes make sure you go with a flip LCD, I was messing with my 7D today and I hate it now especially now I have Magic Lantern up and running.

Out side in lots of light you can lower the bitrate and turn back on the audio anyhow. Test on internal white wall seems much better now.įor any major audio I record to a portable device, it's easy as to match up later in the NLE. I got it to about 55 CBR mbps but as I don't use sound much I turned off the audio in the camera and now it looks like I can hit CBR 60mbps.

With Magic Lantern now you can crank the bitrate up but even with a fast card there is a bottle neck by the camera so you can only go so high. Well what was happening was when I was moving past low light internal white walls the camera was putting out some really bad rounded compression banding.ĭoes the same with the 7D too, think it might have something to do too when you are on auto ISO.
