We'll pass most popular suggestions to GH3 developers team, so, may be, you'll see them implemented.

GH3 Preliminary specs (really rumors and speculations, nothing official :-0 ):

• Wheather sealed, metal body
• Shutter button located similarly to G5, same power zoom rocker
• 920k or better capacitive touch screen
• Improved EVF (like full 1080p)
• 1080p50/1080p60 at 28mp
• 1080p120/1080p100 special modes (limited time usage), 720p120/720p100 unlimited
• WiFi direct with Android and iPhone applications with remote video capture
• 1/3.5" mic input and headphone output
• Supplied with new wheather sealed kit
• And optional battery grip, of course.

Mine suggestions:

• Improve video encoder making it independent from bunch of fixed settings, improve it's performance
• Make special dedicated expert screen for video settings, allowing to set any combination of encoder parameters, without any hacks
• Make proper electronic follow focus with speed selection, ability to set predefined positions, etc, driven from mobile phone or using rocker

I've spent weeks researching, and I've decided to turn to some aficionados.

First up, Camera: I've found that the GH2 is the best price/performance camera. Is this still true today, or are there better ones, such as the Olympus E-M5? Or, would it be best to wait -- do you think there will be anything extraordinary worth waiting for in the first few months of 2013?

Lastly, Lens: I've seen some people use old TV SD 2/3" Lenses, like B4 and C-Mount, etc. Are these worth it? I've heard that (for the most part), the IQ isn't very good, and there's a large amount of work (modifications) to get them to work.

Should I instead be looking at native lenses, like the Leica 25mm? Lots of people talk about anamorphic lenses, and the Voigtlander f/0.95. It seems like almost everyone raves about the Voigtlander, and while it seems expensive, is it truly worth it (price/performance) over say the Panny 20mm or even the Leica 25mm?

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope this topic helps others as well! -Josh

I am currently using an old 15" LCD monitor as my preview device, which is not very accurate. I do not have the need for a real studio monitor. what bothers me about this solution is the black level.

Today, still all TVs start with black at 16 of 255 shades as opposed to 0 of 255 shades in a PC monitor. (This is my understanding, correct me if I am wrong) At least, What looks grey on a PC monitor is often times still black on a TV.

I was thinking about getting a small 1080p TV as a monitor, but maybe you have better suggestions.

I am looking for a small Monitor for my working space (maybe around 20") that has TV black levels. Or would you suggest changing that in the graphics card config...?
