Why's that? Is the Panasonic hacking community full of rude people? Canon's MagicLantern groups have been rather cooperative from my experience.

Maybe, but I'd think if a $800 camera has a sensor capable of 4k video that can be hacked "on" that would be an incredible development.

I'm still pretty ignorant about the Panasonic cameras, but I like the quality of video image and form factor for my potential remote documentary production. The article mentions that the 4K sensor is already "with us" in the GM1 and GX7. I can't tell if that's idle speculation or an educated guess. It read to me as the later. If so, is it feasible that a future hack could unleash this nascent 4K capability in these sensors? Does Panasonic have a decent user community that's exploring such hacking options? I'm aware that the GH1 could be tweaked. Are hacks looking likely on these newer models as well?

I like it. Lots of fun. And good old rock music! That still exists, eh? To be fair, that video could have been shot on just about anything, so the fact that it's on a BM is irrelevant to me...and according to the filmmaker, sort of irrelevant as well as he deliberately made the image worse than the source. Regardless of that, it was pretty entertaining. Speaking of cameras, I still have the same old hi8 Canon A1 that shows up in this vid.

I definitely covet this cam. My only hope would be that the 60p capability could eventually be opened up via a hack. Having that "slo-mo" ability would be perfection. Holy smokes Panasonic is really putting together some great cameras. This stuff is getting ridiculous. Can you imagine shooting with a camera like this @4K? Soon. So soon...
