Hey what is the best way to voice our opinions for features we are after for the GH2/ other Panasonic cams, maybe a voting system like over at 43rumors, maybe Ideastorm? thats what dell is using to...

Hi Panny!

So why did you guys block the Tester13 hack with your new firmware V 1.3? Many of us are perturbed.

2D is dead long live 2D pop-up-book-o-vision.

Panasonic have announced in Japan that they're developing a pancake proportioned 3D lens for the Micro 4/3rds system, which will be compatible with existing cameras like the GH1 with a firmware update. Presumably the GH2 will be compatible out of the box. Tokyo based Akihabara News was at the press conference and have more images of a frankly laughable prototype, which has the '3D' and 'Lumix' stuck to the front as plastic stickers.

'Tester13' has identified the sensor modes and parameters related to the HDMI output of the GH1 with an aim to enable live output for monitoring simultaneously while recording, or even uncompressed HD signal for recording footage on an external device (such as Nanonflash, above).

Great news for Vimeo users. Gone is the 25k load limit on embedding HD video. You don't have to purchase more if your video becomes a hit for people to view it in HD on a website.

A really useful feature to change region on the go has been added to the Panasonic GH1 and GF1 by Tester13. The functionality of PTools is steadily moving onto the camera itself since Tester13 has been working on manipulating the camera menu.

Above: who needs this rig when you have all the manual controls on your iPad?

At some point in the midst of the early DSLR revolution I had an idea about a wireless follow focus which controlled the AF servo motors of a lens in a slow and steady way. Since then a couple of iPad / iPhone apps have been developed which do just this, but they require the purchase of an expensive and bulky mechanical follow focus device anyway - and wireless receiver hardware - instead of communicating directly with the camera and lens.

In line with Nikon, Canon Japan has also now gone on the record about their intentions to create smaller high quality DSLRs. But it's unlikely to be mirrorless, or as small as the Sony NEX 5.

You can download the 1920x1080 video on this page, it is over 1GB so grab it quick before it hits Vimeo's limits

Shot in Bali. All present and correct apart from 24p isn't it? Do Sony think cinema is dead? Arghhh…

The good news however is that to my eye there is a complete lack of the same kind of moire and aliasing which plagues the Sony NEX 5, and other video DSLRs like the Canon 5D Mark II. So it does seem Sony are throwing in a decent image processing engine designed around a video core instead of a photo core, and some proper encoding (60i nonsense aside). That's more like it!
