Andrew Reid from EosHD just posted a new GH2 video you can download here: http://www.vimeo.com/15410936. It’s shot in 1080/50i and taken with a [shoplink 16254]Panasonic GH2[/shoplink] prototype present at Photokina. Andrew also discovered some more iteresting things: “On the final day there I spotted a few more GH2 features. It now has an option in the menu for Continuous Preview which gives a what-you-see-is-what-you-get live view display in manual stills mode without having to switch to movie mode. A feature I wanted, and it seemed Panasonic realised was lacking on the GH1. Manual audio control allows us to adjust levels, which can only be a good thing – I also noticed that sound from the onboard mic seems much improved.Also Panasonic’s new press release confirms the presence of live HDMI out, simultaneously whilst recording video. It even goes as far as mentioning that this is for professional monitoring on sets. It does seem that they really are listening quite well to us filmmakers! I doubt it is an uncompressed output like on the AF100 with it’s HD-SDI output but I do know for what it’s worth that the GH2 has much improved HDMI output quality all round, without the same loss of fidelity and colour that the GH1’s had. The HDMI spec is now at V1.4 to support 3D as well.“
Meanwhile one for our readers (Joe) found that GH2 image samples on Flickr (Click here).
Request to our european readers. Is there any European store having the GH2 available for preorder? I only found it at Amazon UK

Apparently someone has been listening to their customers… 🙂
I liked what I saw in GH2 image (not video!) samples!
How about you?
i’m almost crying from happiness here, WYSIWYG, this future ALONE worth the upgrade!
but i’ve decided im waiting for GH3
Stop it right now or the OVF police will come knocking on your door! 😉
The image quality at ISO 800 and ISO 1600 is simply impressive. It is the first camera with small sensor to actually manage it (Nikons have little noise too, but at the expense of image detail, while the GH2 preserves a LOT of detail). Congratulations Panasonic! Anybody at Olympus reading this? My guess is that in the long run the camera division of Olympus will end up being bought by Panasonic (something similar to the Konika-Minolta–Sony and Pentax-Hoya deals, although I was imagining a Pentax-Samsung deal rather than the current weird one). I would love to see something in the line of the E-420 but with MFT lenses and Panasonic image quality, from Olympus. I’d kill for that!
And i would love to see a camera in the line of the pens, but with an image quality like a nikon full frame sensor delivers, sold for the price of a canon rebel, but manufactured by leica.
Come one! Be serious!
Phase One P65 IQ is bare minimum. But it must be light, weather sealed and pocketable. Focal range should cover 6 – 1200mm equivalent, have in body OIS, inbody tilt shift with or without blur, top notch iA mode and it must out class the Canon 7D in action photography.
If its under 400 euros, I will buy it.
Lol at Do.

…And I want a pony. Dream on boys.
I don’t know what stores you will be interested in, but there are two stores in sweden where you can preorder both GH2 + 14-140 and GH2 14-42. But still no body-only option
There are 96 commercial links in the homepage of this blog (plus advertisments i cannot see with adblock). Too many for me.
This blog is actually here in order to make money for the author. All the fake rumors about the revolutionary e-5 were here to improve the traffic and make us click on these links.
Really?
And I thought that someone was paying for a server and bandwidth, and taking the time to collect and publish the information just for my enjoyment. What a disappointment.
Oh really? And who exactly forces you to click on those links? And what’s wrong with the author gaining some money for his effort?
Hi Telly. If you believe that I am fooling you do not visit me. If I would write false rumors just to drive traffic people would not keep visiting me for months and months. Many rumors were correct, and some not. Sorry for that but I do my best.
So……. good or not?
Can somebody give a simple, straight answer? LOL
