  • Is after hacking the GF3 autofocus will be better? And what will be the diffrence in pictures,not in video? Thanks

  • You're right excuse Vit good job!!

  • PEOPLE!!! Please give this man some room to breathe. He's an artist and artists never do their best work with warm, moist breath down their neck.

  • What's up with gf3 hack?

  • news for gf3 hack..? Vitalliy please answer!! are a myth!!!!

  • @blues recently Vitaliy mentioned "I hope to see PTool with GF3 support in March" :)

  • Any news on the gf3 hack?

  • Just stumbled on this site. Great work Vitaliy who has revolutionised the advance of DSLR in video as much as the Canon 5D (IMO). I'm just about to purchase either a GF2 or GF3 from the US. I'm just wondering if the hack for the GF2 (and later GF3) will allow me to select PAL frame rates in the hacked firmware if I purchase a US-version camera? I'd hate to get one and find I'm stuck with 60i and 30P.

    I really appreciate the work of Vitaliy and just made a donation. His work allowed me to produce this music video a couple of years ago shot entirely on one of the very first hacked GH1 cameras.

    Keep up the good work.

  • Its the second Post of this thread, a few lines above:

    "Vitaliy_Kiselev January 26

    I got the dump. Initially all looks pretty good.

    After GF2 and GH2 v1.11 support will be finished we'll move to GF3."

  • @kesztio: I recall he wrote somewhere that he's planning on getting to G3 after he finishes GF3. Patience, man.

  • Think its the best Cam in that size!

  • As far as I can see, ALL Panasonic G system cameras are going to get hacked – EXCEPT G3. Dear Vitaly, really can’t understand why you hate G3 so much…

  • Great portable camera , it's extremely compact especially with a pancake lens. Though not quite what you would call pocket-able, unless you have some pretty big pockets. I really wouldn't compare a micro 4/3 camera to the PureView. As interesting as the new sensor tech is , it wont be on par with a large sensor. Also consider the ability to change lenses , shoot raw and Vitaliy Hack :))

  • For you guys who have GF3s, is this a cam you put in your pocket and pretty much forget that its there? I might have to look at that new PureView phone too. Wish for the small size but with quality. TQ

  • @PlaneInsaneRC That's nice, because i've ordered GF3 and i was little worried. I also want to shot some photos and video on my hexa.

  • Good news for anyone needing live video out. Just hold down Q.MENU for 3-5 sec and walla! Worked for me!

  • Oh man am I glad I stumbled onto this page. I just bought a GF3 to use on a quad copter to shoot aerial photography. I get the camera and find out that it has no live feed! So now I'm stuck using this camera to shoot and another to line up the shots. I hate adding the weight of a seconded camera. I really hope the hack will provide live feed out. Ryan

  • @gameb: GF2 has a hotshoe, stereo microphone, more buttons and dials, and optional EVF. GF3 is smaller, has somewhat faster autofocus, and maybe a few more whizbang "features" like "Intelligent Auto Plus" mode for stills and a faux-tilt lens "Miniature" filter effect (not sure if it's usable in video, though). Image quality should be the same, as they are based around the same sensor.

  • I am buying a b-cam, what do you think its better, go for the gf2 or wait for gf3 and hack? Price wise its not a big difference, but which is the better camera?

  • Is it possible to donate with a subject "GF3"?

  • Great to hear news of possible hope for a GF3 hack. I love my little pocket GF3. (But I could love it even more...) Donated again this week to keep the GF3 dream alive.

  • Just curious if you started because I want know what the hardware differences are between gf2 and gf3. Are we talking about different processing units ? I'm all too aware how long development takes.

  • Vitaliy have you started working on the gf3 ?

    Yep. but it takes time.
