Andrew: Any timeline to release the doc shot on the pre-production GH3? All this endless talking I really want to see footage shot by someone with an eye (ie not photography blogs).

You were dreaming of a $3K-$5K camera delivered by Panasonic for under $1.5k? Easy to be disappointed with such unrealistic expectations.

Panasonic evidently haven't heard any of our complaints about the last generation. It looks like something you shoot reality TV for Channel 4 with. It is absolutely not what I was hoping for. Was looking for an alternative Alexa b-cam. But hey - Panasonic, maybe the GH4'll be worth writing home about, eh?[i] [/i] [/quote] This has to be a troll post right? Alexa B-cam? for $1299? HAHAHAHA! They didn't listen to complaints? I'd say they answered most of them -DR -Build quality -Weatherproofing -codec -1080p 60 - Low light performance -headphone jack - Colour I can't see anything to complain about for $1299.

[quote name='QuickHitRecord' timestamp='1348155862' post='18705'] All good things, but moire and aliasing? I liquidated my Canon camera and lenses so that I could switch over to the moire-free GH2. It was worth not having to worry about it anymore. But now it's back in the GH3? I just don't think that I can do it. If these were fixed, I'd go for it in a heartbeat. [/quote] I think we need to get some more footage with final firmware before I would declare moire/aliasing to be huge issue. It didn't seem to be bad in the examples I have seen (all shot with pre-production cameras) but I am also not a pixel peeper.

[quote name='QuickHitRecord' timestamp='1348153016' post='18701'] the GH3 seems like a downgrade from the GH2 in terms of usability. [/quote] How so? I see far more pluses than negatives from the gh3. -better reliable rec formats all span. -highspeed 1080p -Real progressive not the interlaced wrapper crap -headphone jack -Better lcd screen -Superior build and weather proofing. -Wifi for monitor support (still to be confirmed) lots of potential with apps. -better dynamic range -better low light performance
