ok .. i couldnt quite figger out what options to use by myself, but i found an .ini that seems to load ok on my DMC-G3
from here http://kingoftweaks.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/g3-tweak-and-hack.html
gonna take it round my mate's house tomorrow, do a bit of testing, see how it looks on Mac + he has good editing kit
i cant afford GH4 atm, but GH2s' prices seem getting close to affordable for me .. i'd really like a 2nd vid-capable body that is also hackable
Snap sort is rather inaccurate, and has a large bias towards photography performance (almost completely ignoring the film side).
this is kind of interesting, for me at least; http://snapsort.com/compare/Canon-EOS-650D-vs-Panasonic-G3
since i've just bought a NOS G3, after having G1 for awhile, and last year i got 650D body, upgrade from 20D
... try to understand ... but fail ... Thanks Vitaliy
BTW, how to quote what somebody else said; and how to reply somebody else (like botha reply me).

Any big change to GF1? If yes, I won't sell my GF1 out. Please inform. (Oh this is G3 topic)...

You can be shure. New PTool will be a "Big Deal"!
Vitaliy is always giving us surprise, I guess new version of PTool will be a big gift to all of us.
Sorry but Panasonic will never allow us to enjoy manual mode on the G3, it would steal the whole show and more from the new cameras! If there is a hack coming they will buy it and bury it... maybe..
LOL
Incredible, comparing the dpreview images from GH3 and G3 it's amazing how close behind the cheap, small G3 is. Now handling the camera is something you barely can get used to but the image quality for the price and size can't be beaten.

Thank you. I believed I successfully hacked my G3, only to find my 8GB card (30mb/S, extreme, raid 10) can only record 10 minutes, instead of about an hour previously with the factory settings (unhacked). I used setf.ini by @pvdog. What I would like is a trade-off: a hack that gives me better quality than factory settings and gives reasonable use of HD card capacity. I believe @pvdog's hack is at 49mb/S, so is there a hack in the range of 15-25mb/S?
I can buy a larger capacity SD card and I probably will anyway, but high cost is not something I can currently afford. I'd love a GH3, or even a G5, but finances do not permit at present. I want to make best use of what I currently have.
Thank you, BT.
Where is the official G3 hack with information on what it does exactly to the video settings on the camera? Thank you.
Can hacking help to improve resolution or is it a permanent hardware thing?
@zigizgi Theres litte difference in 720p mode between GH2/G3 but 1080 mode on G3 looks almost like a upscale and is softer than GH2 1080p mode.
I'm considering getting a G3 as a "B" cam for GH2. Haven't found, though, any proper AB test to compare the video from both cameras. But judging from random footage I've seen it looks like G3 video is kinda soft compared to GH2. Anyone who has both to confirm or dispel my apprehension?
