AF in stills mode with Canon lenses on Metabones adapter is mindblowingly fast in good light.

Can't seem to get them to track an object in video mode though.

The Sony lenses track but rather unreliably in low light.

So mixed bag with AF but I am loving the image so far.... seems better than expected... mainly due to NR and codec improvements? The rolling shutter is pretty severe though, like NX1.

Yes, have the same problem. Ultra fast in photomode, but not working in videomode.

Another fast test (sorry, it's not perfect filming, but it's just to get an idea). I also tested slo mo in this one:

 

For me it's gonne be my still picture camere. The AF is really sweet and superb fast. And it is a small camera, with the 16-50mm you can still use it like it is a compact camera (ok, a bit compact cam, but it's ok. You can have it with you all the time. And that was my priority). For video it's not bad, it's ok for my second cam.

1080P100 is not that soft, I just tested it. Will upload soon

Litte test:

hehe, thanks :D

I have a sandisk class 10 45mb/s card

i've tried:

Sedna 1QA: no problems with 24p settings, but for 720p50, the card wasn't fast enough
Sedna 20q: No problems with all the settings
cluster V1: no probs
Orion V4b: no probs

And now i'm using: canis majoris: only tested H24 (24p on high) and no problems with that.

np :)
ow yeah, and after the hack, you have to format your sd card again.
And your battery has to be full! very important.
If you push a button or if the battery is empty when you are updating, you'll fucked.
That's all, it's very simple once u know it

Step 1 : Download the Gh2 hack pack and unzip the folder.
Step 2 : Run “Ptool3.65d (200212)”
step 3: Load Firmware, “GH2__V11″
Step 4: The letter J will be highlighted in green along the button, click the letter J to load the patch settings.
Step 5: Select Save Firmware and save it as GH2__V1x , the x can be any number from 0 – 9 just don’t over write the original firmware so don’t use..1!
Step 6: Put the new firmware on your GH2 SD card, (Freshly formatted and with a full battery charge) With the firmware now on the card you can disconnect and turn the camera off.
Step 7: Turn the camera on and push the play/preview button. The camera will detect the firmware and ask you if you want to update, select yes. Please be careful not to interrupt the update, don’t push any buttons or turn it off during the update because it will likely brick the camera.
Step 8 : Wait a minute and you are set! Enjoy !!

driftwood has updated that one recently.

Here you can download the new version.
But you need ptools 3,65

i have a 45mb/s card and i tested the latest en high bitrate dritwood hacks with it.
Orion 4Vb: very stable
Sedna Q20: very stable!
canis majoris night: till now, no problems with this very high bitrate hack!!

A very good stable (medium bitrate) hack is cluster V1,
