EosHD.com is keeping us updated with the latest Panasonic GH1 hack news.
The hack enables following features:
– native 24p 1080p recording to the SD card (cannot be played back on the camera)
– patch to enable English language menus on the Japanese model
– 30min clip length limit has been removed
– 24p patches for 720p AVCHD and MJPEG modes
The hacker “Vitaly” (or “tester13”) believes the Panasonic GH1 has a lot more potential than Panasonic is delivering us. Why didn’t Panasonic allow some of the features listed above?

Is is possible to switch a NTSC model to PAL?
No!
@ Young
Yes, it is possible. More details here;

Also, MJPEG @ 24fps isn’t working fine, yet.
I am dreaming from a hack that allows the G1 to take Videos 🙂
Vitaly is the man, I’ve been using his Canon hacks for a few years now. It’s great to be able to shoot raw on a P&S camera!
Thanks fuujin for your kind reply!
Why didn’t Panasonic offer some of these features? They didn’t want it to hurt the sales of their video cameras.
what i really want to see is the GF1’s Video P mode turned into the GH1’s Video M mode.. what a silly software restriction..
