3Dkraft had the chance to see the new TESLA electric car. The video above and the images you can find on his website have been taken with the [shoplink 16254]Panasonic GH2[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 15659]Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f/0.95[/shoplink].
Meanwhile EosHD posted the first part of the ReWo GH2 cage.
The latest japanese system camera sales ranking shows the [shoplink 17361]Panasonic GF2[/shoplink] on position 7th (Source: BCNranking).
P.S.: There is no place where you can find exact rankings. You can only get a very approximative and general idea of how Sony cameras are selling at Amazon by checking their current bestseller rankings:

BCN Sales Rankings in Japan or early January – NEX5 #4 but rising GF2 now #7,#22,#28,#41,#74 and EPL1 behind it. GF1 is not #25 so apparently running out of stock? GH2 is at #66.
Amazon DSLR sales in USA – GF2 is now #13 znc #22 the highest of any ILS while the NEX5 trails at #32. For some reason Amazon USA is not showing any Oly models? Must be some mistake? Again GF1 sales at #48 are down one indication now out of production and stocks running low? Consequently I jumped and got the bargain GF1 w 20mm lens while I could
From the above early results looks like Pany has a winner on their hands with the GF2. Now if only Pany would produce the GF3 as upgrade of GF1 and its controls ASAP to match!
If Panasonic saw fit to produce more GH2s, the ranking would far higher!
Re Video:
TAKE THE LENS WITH AF YOU DAMM IDIOTS!
That lens is MF only, you need to stay away with those type of comments. Grow up and learn something before you post!
I know that the lens is MF only. But half of the video is out of focus. That’s why I complained.
Nokton I’m sure great lens for many things – but continuous AF was invented for pretty much the scenarios.
The complain is “use the right tool for the job” type of thing.
Continues Af was invented, but not used by pro cinematographers. You were probably not aware of the fact that film makers use manual focus only. Even speed-sports are filmed with manual focus (for live events on television)
so your comment is nonsense.
so, amazon UK 43 rankings:
#8 = Pan GF1 + 20 kit
#18 = Oly E-620 + 14-42 + 40-150 kit
#24 = Oly E-P1 + 14-42 kit
The price of the E-620 kit hasn’t changed much since Dec “2009”! … so this doesn’t look like a factor of clearing stock, its just still selling. Hello Olympus, please can we have some more FourThirds cameras (the E-5 isn’t in everybody’s budget)

Admin: More rumors about Panasonic G3 and 12-50mm?
Admin also seems to run the sonyalpharumors site (s/he might deny this, but they break the same news, and have the same layout/format). My guess is admin mis-typed, confusing the two sites??
Thank you for watching and commenting. It was no planned video, so most of the scenes were taken without time for preparation and under difficult conditions. If I were more experienced with MF during video, results could be better but until now I used the GH2 only for photography. Pany’s 25/1.4 with AF will be mine as soon as it is available, that’s sure.
In a car accelerating that fast, you are lucky not to loose the cam out of your hands…
Amazon UK, France, and Italy have a “compact system camera” category where most of the m4:3, NEX, and Samsung are in. SO the SLR rating does not apply well here. Unfortunately, Amazon has also managed to put a couple of m43 cameras into the SLR category, so people just make the worng assumptions about the true rankings. The Italian “compact system/m43” category is currently empty(!), but NEX cameras are in the compact group.
I suspect the US ranking is also flawed and that they have put quite a few m43 cameras into compact category.
Boring. And what’s with the white balance? The lens is MF = blurry pictures. But the camera at least has auto WB, no?
