Highlight rolloff in that canyon still shot looks good, too. Maybe a bit nicer than the om-d, but there is of course no information on how the shot was handled in post.

Oh dear.. I can´t believe I´m analyzing this vid.

Why did they put all of the pictures in there with black borders all the way around. It makes it look like someone framed it for 4:3 and then went "Oh wait we have to add this into 16:9 video". I guess some publicity is always better than no publicity. However, this video screams of the time when they got someone completely unfamiliar with Panasonic m4/3s cameras to shoot the Olympic Ad campaign.

Thanks guys for the sarcastic jokes about the music. They put a smile on my face and are helping me start the day in a good mood. :)

I think the real question is what the video would have been like if it actually had, had good music, let alone music that was appropriate to the material. Of course, not a knock on the person that made it: almost every composer we really enjoy has made music that did not seem very enjoyable.

And honestly, maybe the music could be appropriate to something? I guess it is good that we all know this is not it.

ANyway, like I said, thanks everyone for the humor - you helped me start the day on a fun note. :)

the video is more a make off, behind the scene or something.

Grip side is wider, meaning bigger battery? Oh well.... good for better capacity but new battery again?

Wait, what's this? Subliminal messaging in the song? It does sound a bit like:

"10-bit, 10-bit, 4-2-2, XLR and how are you?"

The video is not very reassuring in terms of DR. Starting with the shot in the Canyon facing up into the sky with the blown out clouds that does not look nice at all. The sensor Dr could be good like with the HDR photos in India, but hopefully they will get us some flat profile for the video side. This is just speculation and we will have to wait a little bit more for proper test.

They better announce the camera today. suspense is killing me

Panny's marketing team must be pretty short handed if they got their intern to pull off their big release video ;-)

Still gets me amped for more news at photokina!

Why are you thinking that promo was shot with GH3?

Remember Nokia fail last week :)

@kholi for me it will be a harder sell if the DR is not better. If else it will be external recorder for my D800 and perhaps mosaic filter. I have tested the D800 and the resolution is quite good, just a little lower than the gh2, but good enough for me. along the line for my photography I will have to get a d600 as second body and then I will see. The promotional video is by far the best of all the new camera announcement and very nice DR.

@danyyyel

I'm with you, the problem is I don't like the look of the D800 and I don't want to be locked into a Canon mount. That's a nightmare for me. I'd rather be locked into Canon than Nikon. =[ So, although I really... really want great DR, my only other real option for personal ownership was a Magic Cam... oh well.

@Sage

I'm jealous, I wish I could see nine harsh stops as enough. =[

There was a time when the shooter used digital cameras that did not have enough DR to look good, ever. The GH2 does. With careful exposure/coloring, it can pass. Not to say they wouldn't like more - to be exact: more resolution, DR, improved color sci, and less skew are all on the list. Though one could take it or leave it. I'm well satisfied with VKs work.
