[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/34279033[/vimeo] Mr Philip Bloom of Richmond has done a revealing comparison shot of the Canon C300 versus Panasonic GH2 with hack and Driftwood’s high bitrate patch.

The latest news on cameras, from EOSHD
You might remember last week Philip Bloom posted shots from the C300, F3, GH2, 5D Mark II and 4 other cameras as a prelude to the test he is doing and that is the inspiration for this bit of Christmas fun. Here I’ve put 5 cameras up against each other for how well they resolve detail and the clarity of their video output. The results may surprise you. And not only am…

Download the latest Magic Lantern How to: Install Magic Lantern I am really impressed with the way the Canon DSLR hack – Magic Lantern – has recently been progressing.

Putting all the settings into a menu system on the camera rather than in a Windows app like PTools with the GH2 hack – also…
Get the Canon 5D Mark II at Adorama for $1999 This is really tumbling now. I think there has been around 4 price drops in the last week on the 5D Mark II. Now it is at $1999 for the first time. That is cheaper than some 2nd hand bodies on eBay.
It has been a great week for the GH2, with the new official firmware update. It adds a ‘HBR’ mode which is high bitrate 25p or 30p depending on if you have a Euopean / PAL or US / Japanese NTSC GH2. Here I’ll take a hands-on look at the new firmware in FAQ form, and whether you should use the official ‘hack’ or the unofficial one.

Whilst the GH2 discounts continue today I received an email…
