Stained Glass, Bare Wood (GH3 test shoot) from Mike Ritchie on Vimeo.
A couple of 43rumors readers sent me some link to their own GH3 test. And it’s my pleasure to link to you guys! On top you see the video shot by Mike. Toby is the first guy posting some GH3 HDR shots on Flickr. And Tommy posted a ‘Quick Play’ hands-on. EosHD posted that shootout with many cameras including the GH3.
As I told you on Saturday the camera is (surprise surprise) already shipping in Europe via Wex Germany (Click here) and Wexphotographic UK.

Another one, production model, firmware 1.0 > https://vimeo.com/54185454#at=0
Both are nice.. 🙂
EosHD shootout was an interesting article and video. Not a whole lot on the GH3, though, except that it’s apparently better than the hacked GH2 for video. It’ll certainly be interesting how good the GH3 is when it gets hacked.
Hei, You should warn about explicit language. I’d not look or look muted. Children could be near…
Um…. what? lol.
Sorry, It was for Rinaldo 🙂
GH3 wasn’t even close to the Hack GH2… What video were you watching?
but when it is hacked it will stamp all over a hacked GH2
…doubtful. The GH2 hack was designed primarily to boost the built-in codec, which was a paltry ~20 mbps. The GH3 has a perfectly acceptable codec, so why would there even be a need for a hacked version? Let alone “stamp all over” a GH2.
i don’t understand why people keep saying GH2 is better? i mean, GH3 has higher DR, better color (so obvious), better noise control, and maintain 95% of that high resolution. the hacked GH2 has insane resolution, but that is unstable, and has some flaws.
Simple, they just want to feel superior. It’s nonsense to think that a 2 year old camera that’s been modified can be as good as a purpose-built successor. As much as I appreciate the hack, not having to power on and off every time I want to view a clip will be very welcome. And keeping the GH2 as a secondary cam will be nice, but the GH3 will certainly be my A camera. Though I really wish some of these people with GH3 production models would film something more than random objects. Don’t they have a friend they can film, or a tripod to film themselves so we can get a real good idea of what this thing does on what most of us are likely to film most often?
Take a look at this for a good example of skin-tones at high ISO:
GH3 real ISO 1600 – 3200

That was great, thanks Mike! That really makes me think switching up to the GH3 is worth it. I shot some stuff at ISO 1600 a few weeks back on the GH2, and it was a mess that I needed to run Neat Video on.
Looking good!
I am not a video expert, so I don’t know, but what are the artefacts on the stain glass window in the middle of the screen from 0:17 to 0:21?
Actually scrub that last comment of mine, interestingly when I watch it full screen from this web site the artefacts are there, but when I watch full screen on Vimeo they are not there, must be a lower quality stream here.
I am personally very excited about the HDR function. That feature alone, for me is reason to buy the Camera, better natural dynamic range and a more sensitive sensor is just a bonous.
I wonder how much time is required to take the multiple exposures and how long it takes to process the images.
The only other feature I would really like is focous peaking. I believe Sony is going to hold out on sharing this image processing program to keep interest in their NEX cameras.
I will be waiting for Olympus and their “professional” m4/3 system. Most likely it will have focous peaking. Another advantage of Sony getting into bed with Olympus.
