Official GH1 "Lenin" Hack Project Discussion

    So which deal is better? The B&H one with $100 off a lens comes out to $500 with the cheapest lens. The body direct from Panasonic ends up being about $326 after tax. It's turns out being about the same in the end but the one from Panasonic is a guaranteed 2011 model is it? Should I just the buy the body alone from Panasonic then buy an ideal lens later? Or buy the B&H package with a lens then sell the lens once I want to upgrade?

    What is the difference between GH1 and GH1K, just color right?
  • julesjules
    filip, i only see GH1K for $349 at Panasonic Direct...

    Ignore that.. i wasn't signed in... I wonder how many of these they have left??!
  • flibnarbflibnarb
    @stonebat, so what is your preference?
  • stoneystoney
    It's very subjective matter. You gotta try all and decide what works for you. Some like 1080p24. Some like 720p60.
  • flibnarbflibnarb
    I've read a lot of comments about the difference in the codec while recording in 1080p versus 720p. It seems that everyone is saying that 720p holds up much better and in the end produces a better image. Is this true for the hacked GH1 and if so, let's say ultimately one was looking to produce a film using the GH1 (budgeting :-) and wanted to produce an image that would stand up on the big screen, what would be the best configuration with a hacked GH1? Would someone mind commenting on the patch, the film mode or resolution, etc? Thanks.

    Just curious if the G3 has any potential to be hacked to perform anywhere near similar to the GH2 for video/other features since the G3 uses the same chip the GH2 uses.

    I just want native 24p. You're beautiful Vitaliy!!
  • johnnymjohnnym
    Will you have time to look at the 4:3 mode (preferably with adjustable resolutions like is possible for 16:9 mode)?

    Where is the ETC setting on the G2 I never saw it?
  • filipfilip
    Thank you for all your work Vitaliy!!!
    Something I just noticed... If you're a fan of Panasonic on facebook, you can get the GH1 for $299 from Panasonic Direct. I'm assuming if your buying from Panasonic you're getting the 2011 version. Other partner programs have even cheaper prices (using the "NextJump" partner link i'm seeing them for $269!!) soo cool, but probably temporary once they catch word of the great work Vitaliy did.

    >There's a pretty good deal at B&H... GH1 & 14-42 for $499.00 Best to all!

    Adorama also has GH1 body for $399 and
    kit with 14mm for $699 - http://www.adorama.com/IPCDMCGH1KL3.html
    It looks like all bodies in Adorama are made in 2011.

    >Do you think it is possible to hack the GH1/GF1/G2 to be able to take of the ETC mode the newer models have?

    Most probably answer is no.
    And G2 already has ETC, btw.
  • pjssssspjsssss
    Outstanding work! Much quicker than I thought.
  • comscoutcomscout
    Thank you Vitaliy for your generosity. Looking forward to the new hack. We owe you. FYI-There's a pretty good deal at B&H... GH1 & 14-42 for $499.00 Best to all!

    Do you think it is possible to hack the GH1/GF1/G2 to be able to take of the ETC mode the newer models have?
  • plasmasmpplasmasmp
    I'm spreading the word. Panasonic is definitely not going to be happy!
