GH3, Finally, In Stores

[sanveer]

I believe some people already have the GH3, in their hands (those must the guys who pre-ordered). It is, apparently, supposed to hit stores, by this Monday.

I am guessing, that, by Monday evening, there will be a Lot of videos, from the GH3, doing the rounds,

I am sure the video quality is almost the exactly the same, as recent videos, which, btw, is pretty good.

I am, actually, curious to know the quality of the plug-in mic, the wi-fi speed and app, and the other extras.

At the store where I bought my GH2 last week, they asked whether I didn't want to get the GH3. They said I wouldn't be first they sold it to.

Dude, that would be great. Go check it. I am sure, its great.

You could try the GH2 (with the 14-42 lens) on Amazon. There was an amazing Black Friday deal, om Amazon, where the GH2 + the 14-42 lens was for $499. I am guessing, it's gone now. Though the same kit, is still at a decent $749 at Both B&H and Amazon (and around the same price, at other places, too).

I already bought an GH2 last week :)

My GH3 was delivered on Saturday morning. I've been shooting with it as much as I can over the weekend.

The image quality is outstanding.

I don't have the plug in mic, so I can't help you there.
The wi-fi app speed is pretty good. There is some lag but it's usable as a reference monitor for clients or a director, definitely not a replacement for an external monitor when shooting though.

Might as well set the ball rolling with the test footage ;)

Mike Why'd you do that? I need to see people different places lighting conditions focal lengths NOT closeups on stained glass! Please try again!
Have you got some 16mm lenses to test with a monitor plugged in or maybe even a prores recorder?

[mikeritchie]

Haha, sorry markm. It's a test for me more than anything else!
I'm sure there will be plenty of variety in shots/lenses as people post more videos over the coming weeks.

If I get a chance to upload any more tests with the things you mentioned, you'll be the first to know.

geeez dude, it's his camera, he can shoot whatever he wants lol

anybody know anywhere online that has them in stock right now?
B&H doesn't ship until early December, which I'm guessing will be longer because they still haven't even started shipping the new GOPRO yet.
