Hello here is my video gh2 with sedna 20q... comment...and visit my youtube cha.

@LumixUser Even before clicking on the pictures to view them I could see a huge difference between Sedna and the other two. Not only could I tell (at that small size) that Sedna has a much finer detail in the color noise but it's also brighter.

Thanks Nick for a great fix.

EDIT: When I say "finer" detail what I really mean is no blockiness to the footage at all. This has got to help with the sky banding issue etc.

@cinemon

The hack does not produce an image composed and well lit. It just improve movements, details, and sometimes color. You can even find it on Vimeo or Youtube movies with excellent quality made ​​with the GH2 and its original firmware.

@LumixUser what was the iso for your sat result is it iso 1600 ?? it looks like iso 2000+ i will try the same if you post your setting which u used for this test. is it standard -2-2-2-2 or ????

@feha Agreed.

@driftwood the work that's going on here in tremendous, the group efforts and tweaking is amazing to watch. I test and post, evaluate and combine. It great. But I will always remember Lester bookbinders command of light and composition... one of the greatest US / English Photographer ever and his two assistants...Tony and Ridley. Sedna is moving now lets see where we go.... Thanks

@itimjim +1 I agree, having good lens and good GH2 settings also good shooting skills (vision) gives you a "filmic" results ... I'm sure if i used @vesubio 's (Musgo Trailer) camera i cold not do same shooting ...

@driftwood Holy fuck, thanks, AQ1 Sedna A is incredible. I'm kicking myself for not getting around to looking at it properly a couple of days ago. Huge difference to Q20. I reckon you could pull a decent key shooting with this. Couldnt resist giving it a go after seeing that test, glad I did. This allows me to try shots and comps I wouldn't have dreamed of trying before.

great!

@cinemon Well lets all give up now shall we!!! To my knowledge nobody has yet to complete a feature film with any of the Intra settings...yet... However, there are a few of us in the process of making one. If 44M was best, I think people wouldve given up long ago building new settings. 44M is very good but do the tests. If you cant produce something similar or better with Sedna then stick to 44M.
