  1. [quote author=bwhitz link=topic=600.msg4217#msg4217 date=1334725814] [quote author=abortabort link=topic=600.msg4215#msg4215 date=1334723664] Didn't Panasonic just release a firmware update for the AF100 giving it 50/60p 28Mbit codec? [/quote] A 28mb/s codec? HAHAHAH... what is this 1997? [/quote] 28Mbit is not that bad for AVCHD.  Obviously it could be better, but it isn't horrific or anything.
  2. [quote author=popalock link=topic=596.msg4178#msg4178 date=1334686112] There is only 1 real worry with this camera - lens compatibility/incompatibility.  We need to know which lenses will work & which wont since we all have our own inventory of lenses I'm sure we'll want to use with this camera.  I've some EF lenses (great, they'll work) but I've also a GH2 and am acquiring manual lenses for that.  Will these "vintage" lenses work or not?  that is the ONLY [i][b]important[/b][/i] question.  then there's anamorphic.. All this chat about documentary vs film, and batteries are minor points, and quite frankly BS [/quote] If it has an EF mount, then it's very easy to find out which lenses will work for it.  Just look up the wikipedia article on flange distances.  Off the top of my head, M42 and Nikon lenses will work, while FD lenses will not.  That's pretty far from the most important question, though, seriously. 
  3. I know the AF100 has worse picture quality in some ways than the hacked GH2, but it does have an ND filter, XLRs, etc, and sells for as little as $3K on eBay.  I'd probably prefer the FS100 to some extent, but you could get the AF100 and a GH2 for the price of the FS100, and you share lenses between the two.  Sounds like a pretty good combo to me.
