With all attention on GH2 setting development - and an amazing achievement it is - I'm curious whether the latest PTool will enable a hack with the GF2? Or is an earlier version of Ptool appropriate?
Many thanks to all for this amazing resource and to Vitaly for his dedication and generosity.
Why we have new firmware, it has different encryption. So, same shit about direct dumping firmware. I am not sure that we'll find necessary number fo guys.
Hello, I own a gf2 and absolutely love this camera! It's really a shame it's video capabilities are so restricted... I dream like many others of a hack for this wonderful little camera. I really hope it will happen :-) and will of course be willing to donate for it.
GF1 is still useful. GF2 is good, too. I think it would be smart going after one or two previous generation. Cheaper. Better accessories. Possibly available hack.
e.g. GH2 was announced almost a year ago. GH3 rumors circulating. Price of GH3 is dropping. Hack is available. This is time to get GH2.
I'm asking this because I mainly shot underwater and the housing market it's strange. Housing producers can't cope with the digital camera market speed. Every year or least a new model is out. No way to design and build a new housing and hoping to cover the cost in few months.
Until few months ago there was only a brand (not the best) producing housing for GH1 and GF1. 90% of the markets is for Sony, Nikon and Canon.
Right now Nauticam placed a bet on Panasonic camera with three housings aimed to professional users:
I don't own the GF2, mainly because it hasn't be hacked. I think I can live without the mode dial, and it has the ETC very useful feature. It's very cheap now (with 14mm, which seems to be a nice small lens), so I agree it would be a nice addition to the hack family. But maybe the TS3 could be a better complement to GF1/GH2 combo...
