Sorry, I need help fast please. I just installed SEDNA AQ1 who usually works with Sandisk cards 30mbs. It's ok When I read the videos with VLC (beautiful quality) BUT if I Took Them with FCPX, the clips are reduced (10 seconds = 2 or 3 seconds in FCPX!). More strange again, if I try with 5DtoRGB: the clips are jerky and inutilsables.

If someone can tell me ...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Thanks mate. Burst mode is what I am hungry for. Thanks for pointing me there. I understand it can't hold long record times, despite the outcry. Is a solution to record a cropped mode like 2.20:1 so the camera can keep up with those data rates, as it is recording less pixels. I think people would jump on that. In the meantime, would you say that standard Mysteron is what I would be looking for for my needs? I need long record times. Thanks again. I have donated :0)

Ok, I am passionate about quality and I have done some fairly extensive testing using the Quantum V9c hack. I shoot Zuiko lenses. I have found that for most stable situations of ample lighting and limited motion, the hack shows virtually no difference at all. I find that the hack really stands up when you throw A LOT of motion at it. Blowing leaves, running water, etc. But it has to be a lot. I have not seen any more detail gathering ability that Philip Bloom alludes to in his comparison to the likes of the C300. In low light, I see that it replaces codec interpretations with fine grain, which looks more natural, most of the time. The stock codec interpretation of a texture in the dark can be good as it holds that detail still and steady. It also has the danger of looking blocky and a little fake. The hack puts grain on everything to give a more "live" interpretation of texture in the dark. This is cool but I want the grain to be finer so that it's "noise movement" is not so apparent. So, having said all of this....(and thank you for reading it) I am looking for a hack that can give me finer grain in the dark to represent textures better and can be graded well. Finer grain. I am also looking for a hack that gives me MAXIMUM detail in good light. Some ridiculous bit rate, heavy i-frame hack that makes the footage really really pop off the screen. I am getting two 64GB Sandisk cards from UPS today so throw me the worst of it. I want to make this hack really sing more than what I am seeing in 9vc or I feel like the leap to fast cards and slightly risky recording is not quite worth it. (don't hate me). I love love the GH2 and I can't stress to some of you enough.......GET GOOD GLASS!!! This cam is worth it and no amount of hack will make that leap for you. I would fight someone to the death over my Zuiko 14-35 and 35-100. TO THE DEATH!! and I never was a glass guy until now. But please, refer to my comments and show me a hack version that can provide those items and I will do a really nice comparison video for ya' all! (I am British, so I don't know why I just did that) :0) Thanks a million!!!

Canis Majoris 'Skin Tone Soft' setting coming today too. :-)

Wow @davidhjlindberg

@johnnym thanks, I built her with my own two hands =P

@thepalaias oh thanks man!!

*** NEW **** VY Canis Majoris - see new thread. 'Night' First in the series is released tonight. I have over 7 settings for Canis to try out on people some of which I have been using in shoots in the last few weeks... The first is now out on its own thread.

Isn't Canis Majoris supposed to be released today?

@peternap Glad it helps. I've been trying to find better methods for both testing and illustrating the differences. Each test session teaches a lot more.

Case in point - the big test we did recently here in L.A. taught me a ton about what to look for in the testing and how to better control the testing. However, the # of variables involved means that the final results (for that first test) will be too varied to be a useful comparison - it will end up being more of a showcase.

However, the people that participated have all volunteered various resources to help with the next round - one which I plan to also use the upcoming Driftwood releases in as well!

@mee Nice boat.

@thepalalias you got me thinking twice now, but until I get some sleep I am done looking at super zoomed grain ;)

In the mean time, since I mentioned I only shot with Mysteron one day, here are a couple shots from that day. On the first video please excuse the less than perfect horizon. It was starting to rain so it was rushed to protect the camera. The second shot was from a boat, but it was parked in calm water. Unfortunately I forgot Vimeo's one HD a week policy for basic users, so I will have to wait a bit to upload the HD version for the second video..

Shot using Mysteron on GH2 with 14-42 kit lens at 720p 60fps (vimeo reduces the frame rate to 30fps).
