EOSHD.com reader RichST who picked up a Japanese GH2 this week (production retail model) has been showing me some useful shots demonstrating the look of different picture profiles on the GH2, including the new Teleconverter mode. Seemingly Panasonic listened, because this is a feature the community has long been dreaming of. No line skipping, no pixel binning, no scaling – just the ability to take an unscaled 1080p 1:1 crop…

Canon have released the same camera 3 times in 12 months. But here, EOSHD.com explains why they are right (from a business perspective) to do so. In October 2009 Canon released the 7D.
