I asked but they are not going to reveal it through official marketing channels until way after everybody else has found out about it!!

All fake I'm afraid, apart from possible exception of FZ

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 find the popularity of potential features for new dells, seems to be working well.

Anyway I'm putting in votes for:

1. A Setting for fastest FPS
Even if at a lower res, if the new GH2 can do 1080p 60fps then it should be able to do, if my calculations are correct 135 FPS at 720p, so we should change that to 120 to be more user friendly.
(by the way the main attraction to the scarlet for me was the High FPS, those great slow mo skating vids on vimeo really sold me on it).

2. Timelapse
At the moment the GH1 has no timlapse settings, even though it could easily be done, I think tester13 would be able to add that in if he deemed it important, its is important to me but I'm not sure how many other would like this feature.

3.Shalow DOF
I remember seeing an adapter which converted M4/3 lenses to have the field of view of Fullframe this would be awesome!!

4. Live hdi out
High demand for this

5. Save your programmers some time and openscource your firmware.
It kinda already is since the GH1 is being hacked, But I'm sure you know that a camera with openscource firmware will be very desirable for many people due to the customizable nature, therefore you'll make a packet of money from it, I'm suspecting that GH1 sales are still strong even though the GH2 is coming out. Go on Panasonic be the first to do it, you know its coming!

Just be more open Panasonic.

Share a bit more with us rather than the usual marketing stuff.
