Their CEO said last year "I feel very ashamed" and that Panasonic plan to cut 10,000 jobs

I just commented on the Lumix Live weekly upload asking for a modern, small MFT camera- most liked comment. IMO, there are so many people, for whatever reason, want this. It could be practical or nostalgic for the Lumix fans. Just do it Lumix.

That’s about the sum of it John. Except I’d swap out the word ‘reassure’ for ‘excite’. To quote a famous movie line, “build it and they will come”. In the case of Panasonic Lumix, build it and they will come, but of as much importance, build it and they will stay. But if they already buggered off elsewhere because instead of telling them something they wanted to hear, you said nothing and 🤷‍♂️

I've been hearing a lot of positive things about the AF on the BMCC with the latest betas. Given that BMD have said before that they plan to roll it out to all of their newer cameras, my assumption is that Petty will be announcing it for some more cameras at NAB in a month or so. My selfish hope is that the UC 12K LF is included. It'd also fix one of the major considerations if people are considering C80 or Pyxis 12K if they roll it out there too. My other big. hope/assumption is that they'll also finally announce a USB reader for a single UC media module priced under $400. The MM is fantastic, but it's a pain in the ass to connect the camera to a 10gE network to download it at any reasonable speed (USB and wifi transfers are both slow as hell, not sure why but the virtual network they create on the USB interface is only 100Mb/s) - and the only reader they sell now takes 3 modules which is 2 more than I have and it costs something like $1,000 - and from what I recall, it also needs to be connected to 10gE. And getting into wild speculation, it would be interesting to see them release a smaller camera using a lower-resolution RGBW sensor. A $3k or so 6K (or 8K) camera with similar dynamic range to the 12K sensor in the bigger cameras and Canon/Sony-level AF would be really tempting/compelling.

here is the link to Richard Haw adapting a Helios 44 to Nikon auto focus.This is the old AF-D screw mount that does not give auto focus on Z bodies the conversion would need to be on a newer AF-S lens or cheap Yongnuo 50mm for Nikon Z. https://richardhaw.com/2017/08/26/autofocus-helios-44-for-nikon-pt2/

And now with the 9.9.2 firmware version: HERE

not my conversion but looks like a good idea

I was able to find the flowmotion v2.02 patch here flowmotion v2.02 patch

that's the problem is personal view is down even in wayback machine the files weren't archived, they're just png files instead

If you're able to post a mirror link to those whenever you find them that would honestly be very helpful, ive been very curious about the sanity hacks. also im not even sure but it's been down for i think about a year estimated but the domain is still owned so there's a chance it could come back?

I have the Flowmotion 2.02 patch - nothing else

https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/2744/the-lastest-hack-for-my-gh2/p1

I have the Sanity hacks (not 100% sure), Apocalypse Now (Drewnet), Cluster X (Drewnet), and Cluster X (Moon). I wish I took better notes. Why are personal view forums down? That's a good site.

Anyone got a recommendation for a half cage for the S1ii? I can't find many. I have a Small Rig Black Mamba on the S5ii and it's pretty good. I could get one for the S1ii but as I only really use the cage for attaching a hand grip on the left hand side of the camera I was thinking a half cage might be better with overheating in mind.

@Ilkka Nissila, I think you're chasing a very different camera than me. Just because a camera is small doesn't necessarily mean it must have bad ergos. Panasonic has said nothing at CP+ 2026, except a stupid microphone that supposedly someone wants. In this interview, they said virtually nothing, a feat in itself. Really, I think they should have been a little more reassuring to the customers. No investor would have watched this anyway.

That's a rather absolute statement and probably easy to debunk. Also, hinting progress isn't making an announcement of any kind. You'd probably agree that it shouldn't be expected that Lumix would make a announcement with CINED either. But, saying there's development is certainly doable. There is always development. My point is just that mentioning an upcoming product too much before its launch can negatively affect the sales of current products and could be seen as acting against the interests of the company's owners. Obviously if the current products are not competitive, then this is an issue, but still, I think most companies would prefer to promote to consumers what they have rather than what they may have in the future. Of course, when trying to get investment into the company, then future products become critical. Does it? This is mature tech now and certainly not on the cutting edge. I think the cost is more in weight than anything else. Although, the E-P7 is only 337g and has proper 5-axis IBIS. IBIS was originally developed by Konica-Minolta and later Sony bought the camera division and got this technology. Olympus developed improvements to the technology. Other companies probably need to pay license fees to use this technology, including Panasonic. The least expensive Canon camera with IBIS is the R7 which costs $1,549.00 at B&H; for Nikon it is the Z5II ($1,596.95); Sony A6700 is $1,598.00. These manufacturers all have much less expensive camera models which do not feature IBIS. Since it requires motors and sensors, and in case of Nikon, they also use a separate locking mechanism to avoid the sensor moving while the IBIS is not active, these all add to the cost and complexity and make the camera slightly bigger. There is also heat dissipation to consider (it is more difficult to transfer heat from the sensor if it is mounted on a lightweight moving platform). Since the E-P7 is also micro four thirds, it could be used with the same lenses as the Panasonic MFT cameras, so why not use that for situations requiring extremely small size and low weight? Or does that camera miss something that Panasonic could offer without making the camera larger? My feeling is that if they can do stuff in a phone, they could also do it in a camera. Cameras are sold at most in a hundred thousand copies (or so) per model, whereas a phone can sell a hundred million copies, so the phone has the advantage of a 1000x larger scale of production. The camera manufacturers certainly cannot do all the things that phone manufacturers can do because of the cost of development of a camera or a lineup of cameras is divided among several orders of magnitude smaller number of units. there's been an "Americanization" of these cameras, meaning bigger, chunkier cameras and seemingly without too much consideration for how components could be miniaturized. For me small cameras don't work as I have fairly large hands and it's not possible to hold a camera like many of the smaller Olympus/OM-D models comfortably in my hands, I'd be holding the camera in my fingertips, and the controls are too small and difficult to use. A camera like the Zf is just about the smallest I can handle (with added grip) and consider it a comfortable experience. Miniaturization requires development of custom integrated circuits which is very expensive. Sony can do it because that's their main thing and they make so many electronics products they have the special knowledge on how to do that, and it seems they've made it the overwhelming priority (high performance in the smallest possible size).

I'll genuinely appreciate that a lot. Please preserve the gh2 history, don't let it vanish

I'll have a dig and host them here if I find the mother lode

I'd also be totally OK with them releasing an entry-level M43 camera based on modern-day "entry-level" specs. Give me a GM5 that can do good-quality 10-bit 4K at 24 frames per second with a log profile and price it at $600 and I'll come sprinting back to Micro 4/3. Fuji was able to put more of than in the X-M5 which is $900 new - the only thing that's kept me from picking one up and playing with x mount is that the used prices are still at a "just buy it new, I guess" $870. Anyway, just give it a GH5 sensor from 2017 or a GH5s sensor from 2018. It's a great sensor and I know people who are still happily shooting with their GH5. For that price, I wouldn't even pitch a fit if it didn't have IBIS ($700 with IBIS would be about equally tempting, though!). It overheats after 10 minutes? Fine by me! 100% this. When I could go spend $2.2k and get either a GH7 or a Nikon ZR - when the ZR is much smaller than the GH7, I'd better really care about IBIS because otherwise it's not even close. Though the GH7 is on sale right now for $1,800 which I guess makes it more competitive, but... That is somewhat true, but sometimes the trade-offs in full frame terms just kind of end up making the lens feel micro 4/3sy. Like the Canon 800/11 which is probably the most "giving something up" of FF lenses basically ends up like a 400/5.6 on Micro 4/3 - and it's surprisingly good/sharp? The EF 100-400/4.5-5.6L is pretty decent and doesn't weigh all that much. The slower aperture matters less on a modern body. I'd also keep in mind that if shooting 8K on a FF body, you can crop in a bit before matching the resolution of even the best Micro 4/3 body which is 6K. Anyway. Regardless of trade-offs or which system can be micro-optimized to have the absolute best telephoto performance at the minimum weight, shooting micro 4/3 for telephoto reasons is likely to stay a niche use case for the foreseeable future. For me, it seems like the future of M43 almost has to be in small/light bodies. If I were buying one today, I'd be so much more likely to pick up an OM5 II than a GH7. The GH7 may be the pinnacle of Micro 4/3 technology, but it's also bigger and heavier than the EOS R5 that I already own.

That's a rather absolute statement and probably easy to debunk. Also, hinting progress isn't making an announcement of any kind. You'd probably agree that it shouldn't be expected that Lumix would make a announcement with CINED either. But, saying there's development is certainly doable. Does it? This is mature tech now and certainly not on the cutting edge. I think the cost is more in weight than anything else. Although, the E-P7 is only 337g and has proper 5-axis IBIS. I agree with this, except the new market could easily accept premium compacts too. There's also room for in-between products similar to the GX9, which wasn't really a bottom feeder either. A newer version of that camera would be exactly what I want, perhaps even smaller and lighter and even more premium. My feeling is that if they can do stuff in a phone, they could also do it in a camera. @Andrew - EOSHDwas right in saying that there's been an "Americanization" of these cameras, meaning bigger, chunkier cameras and seemingly without too much consideration for how components could be miniaturized. (I believe he said something like this in his GH6 review). The difference in size between the GH6/7 and a GH1 is massive; unapologetically ignoring all advancements in smaller components. I want smaller with M43, not more capable if it means massive bodies. Yeah, that really depends on the manufacturer. They're always giving up something, with a few exceptions.

Hey everyone! I've just recently purchased a gh2 and I was looking for people who might still have any gh2 patches available since the personal-view site is down where they hosted most of the gh2 patches If someone could provide any sort of links to gh2 patches available, that would be highly appreciated

lovely images for sure

All these stills look great though.
