hoodlum Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 A hack for this will provide another cheap body for video.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 17, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 17, 2012 Good news, pretty much confirms for certain 1080/60p for the new GH3... Or better. Hope they keep the 24p mode and put 25p in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandro Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I saw a sample and it doesn't look very video optimized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 18, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 18, 2012 Why would it be? The GH3 is the video orientated product. I'm still curious to see what the G5 can do though, with the new processor it has. I see from initial specs it also seems to have 25p as well, in Europe.

sandro Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 It wouldn't:) I was just saying :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodlum Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Looks like it may have manual controls for video.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted July 19, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 19, 2012 Good about manual controls. Out there however on the forums, a lot of people don't seem to understand why the GH3 will be far better. The GH3 is video optimised - different sensor, different read-out of the sensor, different encoding chip. There's no chance the G5 will be any where near the GH3 in terms of image quality. 1080/60p on such a low end camera as the G5 bodes very well for the high end stuff. In particular, Panasonic have 120fps 720p and a 240fps mode on their FZ and LX updates. They have small sensors but it could be that the GH3 will get 120p as well. So there will still be differentiation between the G5's 1080/60p and the GH3's possible 1080/120p or 720/120p. Apart from in low light where you'd need a fast shutter speed, 120p is a good format. It divides perfectly by 5 into 24p and perfectly in half for 60p. A very flexible frame rate indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandro Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Could the GH3 (with the right technology) ever match the same light sensitivity of APS-C sensors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
