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?
@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.
Can hacking help to improve resolution or is it a permanent hardware thing?
Where is the official G3 hack with information on what it does exactly to the video settings on the camera? Thank you.
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.
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. 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..
