    @Maya I think it is too much to ask for. @brudney is right, you could "hack" to A7s or you could pair your GH2 using ultra fast lens from Voigtlander, SLR Magic, Samyang, or Mitakon.

    Rough crowd tonight LMAO

  • brudneybrudney

    @Maya the hack you're looking for is called a7s, heard it's got a perfect 3200 iso ;)

    @Maya: In camera playback workes for me, but I sometimes have to restart the camera after the first clip.

    @driftwood: Could you create a hack that turns my camera into a GH4, it would really save me a bit of money :-)

  • TjaboTjabo

    Hmmmm, I thought in-camera playback was working with Moon T8... I don't usually use it, but I thought I checked and found that it was working. Have to check again I guess! I've been doing a little shoot with the Moon T8 and the GH4 today. Looking pretty good so far!

    I do need to take a look at ISO 1000-1600 though, I NEVER shoot it that high. @Maya, what do you mean by that is the sweet spot?

    @driftwood Hi Sir, Moon T9 was announced last month and still nothing.. is it anything went wrong? please do make sure that iA modes and iDynamic works for video this time. in camera playback went totally failed in Moon T8. please, do fix it and make the camera to play even 5 min clips smoothly. i personally have a request. can you improve low light performance a bit? the sweet spot is in between ISo 1000 - ISo 1600 .. i personally prefer the camera should at least take some clean shot till 3200 iSO. is it possible with the hack?? thk u!!

    Ok, I took a few random test shots this morning, and uploaded them to YouTube straight out of the camera in the standard "YouTube 1080 HD" render format that is only 8Mbps. The video quality held up very well to the YouTube compression, I'm very impressed with Moon T8!!!

  • TjaboTjabo

    Ok, weighing in representing the complete amateur crowd, Moon T8 is amazing!

    I shot a few things on Moon T7, and really liked it, but there was a fair amount of noise in the dark areas that required NeatVideo to clean up for me to be comfortable with it. It was great overall though, and I loved it.

    I got one of the first deliveries of GH4s that were available here, and sort of set my GH2 to the side for a while. Recently though I started playing around with the GH2 again with Driftwood ClassiX on it, but for me the image quality and noise situation wasn't close enough to my GH4 for me to be interested.

    Last night I put the Moon T8 on my GH2, and WOW! It is really nice, and shoots at some really low bitrates to boot... All of the SH mode stuff I shot so far has looked good and been in the 30-32Mbps range. The 24H stuff has been around 90-92. All of this has been with the Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 I had on the camera.

    At any rate, I think Moon T8 is going to make me spend a fair amount of time with my GH2 in my hands, and I definitely think it stacks up as a B-cam that can mix in with the GH4, at least. I need to do a bit more testing and some editing before I will really be sure what I can do with it.

    If Moon T9 can better this, I will be extremely impressed -- well, I already am, but I guess I'll be even more so.

    @kousuken, I thought that footage looked really good, especially for 720 with the GH2.

    I have found the 720 with ClassiX to be too noisy, so I'm going to have to try Moon T8 quite soon. Others have posted some really nice 720 footage with Moon T8 as well.

    any news on Moon T9?

  • kousukenkousuken

    My first "moonT8"720p with Brushless Gimbal . Thank you Mr Driftwood (^^)!

  • TjaboTjabo

    I have read this entire thread a couple of times over the past few days, and I am confused! Lol...

    My testing with ClassiX has shown that it provides a nice image, but stops recording after about four minutes. That is with the Panny 12-35, so possibly there's too much sharpness there for it, as @driftwood has said it is a processor stressing setting.

    Much of what I see from Moon T8 looks great in the darks, but sometimes noisy in the brighter areas. Still, to me it looks best of the 24H samples, and the wedding that @kris shot with it in 720P looks fantastic too. I guess I'll play with Moon T8 next until Moon T9 is released.

    On the other hand, I may have to try Nebula after what @driftwood said, and after watching one clip posted here, but then again, I would like a nice solid, high quality 720P mode, so maybe I have to try Spizz, too... Haha.

    So many fantastic toys to play with, thank you Vitaliy and Driftwood!

    @producer Too bad T4 wasn't as sharp as you wanted. On a separate note,the video you posted looks good.

  • producerproducer

    I tried Moon T4 as the sharpest patch, although I wouldn't say it since no visible difference even with Sharpness at +2 and kit lens 14-45:

  • yskuntoyskunto

    If only there will be a new PTOOL to deliberate recent Lumix body and a Moon T9 hack which is solid stable.

  • producerproducer

    @JayUKB: The question is: what do you expect from T9?

  • JayUKBJayUKB

    I'm guessing I'm not the only one waiting for the Moon T9 release

  • matt_gh2matt_gh2

    @producer The sharpest hack setting (patch) I have seen is Moon T4. Most people consider it too sharp, but check it out - it might be what you're looking for. Very very sharp. I did one test with it using old vintage glass and it was still very very sharp.

  • yskuntoyskunto

    @DragonByte

    All patches developed for GH2 could be applied to GF2, GF3, GX1, and G3. However, these patches cannot add capabilities of GH2 which are nor available in GF2, GF3, GX1, and G3. As long as I remember, these capability are the 1024p24 mode, the HBR mode, and a real 720p50/60 mode.
  • producerproducer

    Which patch is the sharpest one, guys?

    "Apocalypse_Now_-Cluster_v7_DREWnet_12_15_GOP'444_Sharp2'_matrix" or some else?

  • kritzresnkritzresn

    @DragonBye Nope GH2 only

  • DragonByteDragonByte

    Is this patch working with the Lumix DMC-G3?

    Happy New Year! A short little clip with Spizz T5:
