    @HillTop1, i'm not talking about the image quality from a purely technical standpoint, which I do see great detail at times in the video, but overall I don't like his shooting style. I didn't like his Exposure. It looked like the camera was on autofocus, cuz it looked like I saw it hunting to get focus or perhaps that was just him. Either way his videos are very distracting in terms of the camera work itself.

    @Aria +1 !

    @Aria Well, I agree those are poor shots, but at least the .vid file shows how amazingly sharp the GH3 is.

  • chefchef

    @EspenB he said there's still some moire and aliasin but much better then the gh2,but he could not make a proper test! @ahbleza at least it's a funny dude!

  • HillTop1HillTop1

    @Aria, I get what you mean. @Arquer053 said what I really meant.

  • karlkarl

    I downloaded and watched this original GH3 .mov file, and I must say that it exhibits a frightening amount of aliasing. Have a look at the girders inside the tree holes, and at the window shutters at the blue house at the end of the clip. I cannot remember that I've seen such a disturbing amount of aliasing artifacts in any recording I did with the GH2 so far.

    @karl, I am editing some work I was doing last weekend for some wedding dress shopping with my hack GH2. I am seeing such aliasing and I noticed that I saw it when I had my lumix 14mm and lumix 25mm lenses on. ( focusing was in manual mode) When I had my Nikon 28mm and 50mm, shooting same things I don't see any thing. I don't know who to explain that.

    @HillTop1 This is due to the Panasonic Lenses being excessively sharp for video. Great with stills, but with video you will get a lot more problems with moire and aliasing.

  • Arquer053Arquer053

    I love how we are running into issues with excessive sharpness, while canon users suffer a lack of it.

    (EDIT) Sorry for duplicate post. I've just spoted this link a few pages back.

    GH3 menu tour:

    Half the time the guy is just hopping around and saying wild things about what he doesn't know, but there's a lot of new stuff.

  • oscillianoscillian

    Hack the frame rate to 80 fps! CLASSIC!

  • doczdocz

    @PhilC great video! How hard was it to pull good keys from the GH3 footage?

  • JspatzJspatz

    Does anyone know about the batteries? Here is a clone being offered from a place I know to be reliable from past dealings. They say fully compatible. http://www.bestbatt.com/Panasonic-DMW-BLF19-Battery-p/bbblf19.htm

    @HillTop1
    it comes because of the in-camera correction of the optical distortion caused by Panasonic lenses. All zoom lenses- but unfortunatelly even primes by Panasonic have quite big barrel distortion arround 20mm and lower, the camera recognizes its own brand lens and corrects it. It is very demanding operation causing aliasing and it is not possible to disable it as much as I know. Please correct me somebody if it is possible, I would love to learn how. It is very good for the stills, though.

    @Mordae
    so wrong answer but thinking was in proper direction.... By the way also Nikkor lenses are very sharp

    Lol, this guy is mad about GH3. I understand its energy and proactivity, but 80fps...lol`s hes mad

    Was at the photo-fair in sthlm today. They had ver0.4 fw. They said price would be around 10-11000sek body only. No wifi functionality to try either :( boothguy said they got a few motorola pads to use for showcasing wifi capabilities, but apparently it didnt look too good so they choose to not put them on display. 12-35 & 35-100 lenses felt solid though :) and build quality of gh3 was a nice step up from gh2 too.

  • EspenBEspenB

    @Gamer_s: Here in Norway its 10 000 NOK for the body and 18 000 for the 12-35 kit package.

  • oscillianoscillian

    @Gamer_s I was there too and they actually had two preproduction bodies with updated firmware to v1.0. No focus peaking yet though :( but according to the Panny product specialist they are very aware of the need from us users. HDMI output works in every video mode, even with ETC on :) The camera feels great to use and autofocus with both 12-35 and 35-100 was amazing, locking on to peoples faces and following. Focus pulls were very smooth using the touch screen. What really got me going was the LCD! This high resolution is just what was missing on the GH2 and makes manual focus super easy with my Nokton @0.95 V1.0 had no gamma shift on recording that I could see. Color profiles: -5 on contrast actually looks flatter. I could clearly see shadows getting brighter on all five steps. I'm definitely getting one once it's available!

    Btw, from Monday topics about different aspects of GH3 are allowed, to not hold user feedback and opinions all in one topic.

  • HillTop1HillTop1

    @driftwood, lucky you. Now tell all about the GH3, the good and the bad.

  • mpgxsvcdmpgxsvcd

    @driftwood

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev

    Thanks

  • kendallozkendalloz

    Cannot wait to read Driftwood's comments!

    @oscillian ah, kewl, stannade inte å frågade ut säljarna så mkt, hade hoppats på typ nå häftig mäss-bundle me gh3+12-35/35-100, så blev lite besviken :P var du förbi ikonoskop? Lite kul å se kameran irl, även om 80papp är lite att ta i för ett startkit hehe. Dom verkade nöjda med att man hade hört talas om deras kamera dock :)
