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.
From the Vimeo blog:
We've done some serious number crunching (maybe even used a slide-rule), and decided that it makes the most sense to do away with the limits on HD embedding that Plus members were previously restricted by. Plus members no longer have to ration their precious HD embed plays! You're free to spread your beautiful HD videos far and wide. Unlimited HD embedding is REAL.
We will be automatically refunding anyone who purchased extra HD embed plays within the past 30 days. So that's extra cash back to spend on a party celebrating your new, unlimited existence!
Now we just require the video banner image to appear on iPad & iPhone compatible embeds and we'll be even happier. Great work Vimeo!
I was thinking about getting a GH1 but then I read that Pany made the firmware unhackable. Is this true? Should I look for a older body and blow off getting a new camera?
Just an update regarding those who may want to apply the firmware hack - the body that I just bought has a serial number starting with WE0A, which indicates that it was made in January 2010 and is...
I just bought a second GH1 body for £399 (UK), which I reckon is a fantastic bargain however great the GH2 turns out to be. The arrival of the GH2 won't suddenly make the GH1 a bad camera. :)
