@driftwood Normally 6 months would not feel like an eternity, but you got us used to incredible improvements at such a fast pace that it does feel like an eternity (Sedna's and Canis' IQ were inconceivable dreams back then)... ;-)

I agree that bkmwcd's and lpowell's 3 GOPs are excellent. Nonetheless, I'm sure that 1GOP lovers like myself would find it awesome to have the option to switch to a similar-looking 3GOP when 1GOP won't do. Anyway, can't really complain. You guys have already spoiled us plenty...:-) So, thanks so much!!!

Hi I have posted this picture in another topic but i will post it again. I think everbody can see the differenc between stock and hacked firmware. stock-sanity5-flow 2.02-cluster5.1 bye

@Driftwood I just sold my 7D for 1100.00 with kit lens. I've had a half dozen other people with cash in hand, email me since. That should give you a ballpark idea. Can't help with the MKII, I sold that a year ago,

Kazuo, As they say, a picture's worth a thousand words.

@pop24 that's some crazy quality

Hey guys,

I tried today cluster 6 and cluster 5. Both record for more than 50min/1 hour but I'm not able to see preview with the error "This motion cannot be played". I can see preview with small files instead, 7-15 seconds? Is it a span problem? I did my test in a dark room, high iso, SH and SL, with a Sandisk extreme PRO 64 Giga 95mbs. Is there something wrong with my camera/card?

@pvjames Tried Quantum 9b with the Sedna matrix, think you need a 95MB/S card, i was shooting HBR and even then the card couldn't handle it. After slightly over 2 min of recording, cam locked up. Btw i was using Sandisk Extreme Pro 32Gb Class 10

Here's how I see it guys, a top of the line card is a must have. Think of it as part of your kit. If you're using stock gh2, no problem but if you want into the hack game, it's the most important piece of hardware in your arsenal. This is not the time to be "cheap". Save money on other things but not the very thing that will cost you a re-shoot. That will end up being more than $180 in the long run.

@jhero great little film there! Makes you think about what's essential and the short time to get it done :)

@pop24 You're sure you used gh2 for that? ; )

Back to the topic, just a few screen grabs from Cluster v6. It is sharp in the nicest way possible! standard all -2, iso 160, AWB.

1 is 24H 2 and 3 - 24L .

I've been shooting stills and factory video settings w my GH2 since 2010. However I'm brand new to video and though I've been following this forum for a while I still am figuring it out as I go. I finally hacked my firmware with the Globular patch and tried shooting with my Nokton 25mm 0.95 lens. At first I used a SanDisk class 10 30MB. The camera froze in Cinema mode w/ 24H settings. I dropped my battery and set it to 24L and it worked OK. I just bought a SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB class 10 95MBs. So far I seem to be able to record in Cinema mode at either 24H or 24L. However my GH2 freezes and says recording stopped to to limitations of writing speed of the card when I use S, A or Manual modes. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need and even faster card? Or should I test a gentler hack?

Cluster v6 is what Panasonic should have run from the get go. It's my favorite setting by far. Solid as a rock and oh how sweet the IQ is ......

Sorry guys, but it seems that Cluster 6 and 5 are not stable on a Sandisk Extreme Pro II 64 gb 95mbs. It's my case! I cannot see previews, it seems to spans but it gives errors, card limit error. It's really a mess! What and why does it happen? Can anyone help?
