Hello. I got my Panasonic GF2 today (yay!), and I'm liking it so far. While trying the patch myself, I'm wondering if I'm hacking the right version.  I noticed it says Firmware version 1.1 (it don't spell out version 1.11 or 1.12 e.g.  Following what unconsenting said in this thread[url=http://www.eoshd.com/comments/index.php/topic,345.15.html]http://www.eoshd.com/comments/index.php/topic,345.15.html[/url] I tried twice to apply the new firmware into said camera, everything's fine like it is, but what I don't get is is it really the new firmware I'm applying.  I used a PNY 8gb, Class 10 card. Anyone stumped as I am? I'm so new at this... all in all, I like my new toy. Replies are welcome.

Thanks, I'll check around.

I just purchased a Panasonic GF2 to try out the patch.  Which should I use -- be it a Sandisk or Transcend, a class 6 or class 10?  I looked far and near and nobody seems to carry Class 10. Just stumped.

I'm interested in knowing as well (w/ questions from unconsenting and wilco73).  Once we create the patch in the SD card, do we put the card in the camera and press play button and let it do it's work?  I just purchased mine today, and I can't wait.

Hello AReid, I hope you can answer this.  I'm quite new at this, but referring to your article on lenses and the GF2... [i] "2. Use a lens with a manual aperture ring, that the camera cannot control electronically"[/i] Knowing that I would need a mount adapter, but would a legacy lens [b]Canon EOS F 50mm[/b] work on it?

So, in order to do the hack, you need to do it under a SD card? Quite interesting, though I'm short on funds, I hope it stays in the 300 range next week, I will certainly snag it up.

This is my first post, and I'm a newbie at DSLR -- former camcorder user. I've been hearing so much about Panasonic, Sony, Olympus and Canon DSLR cameras that I can think about; yet I've been curious to getting a GF2 and I'm intrigued by the pricing of them that, according to your article, I been contemplating on a better-get-it-while-it's-hot state. I'm also interested in the PTool hacks. I don't know what to get, should I get the refurbished or the real deal (be it GF2 or GH2)? I have bought refurbished in the past, and had no qualms with them. I just add that to my bying list -- I'll make a decision tomorrow.
