@kurth I've got one. What do you want me to record? ;) I've got a UHS-1 U3 card coming in this afternoon so I can use 100mbps (stupid card limitations).

ASUS Zenbook UX303LB-DS74T/UX303LN-R4274H: Anything Better Than This?
Way too heavy. That's kind of like a Windows version of my rMBP 15, same as the Dell XPS 15. I'd prefer around 3lbs, as the 4.5lb rMBP is a lead weight in my backpack with the rest of my gear. The Acer R13 (3.3lbs) wasn't bad at al…

GH4 Users: How does your GH4 compare to your GH2/GH3 for stills?
Judging from the samples here: http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/panasonic_lumix_dmc_gh2_review/ http://www.photographyblog.com/reviews/panasonic_lumix_dmc_gh4_review/ ...it looks like shadow detail has improved nicely, with a bit of highligh…

Anyone experiencing flickering shadows in their footage? Both my GP4 Black and a friend's have it. You can see it here from about 0:13 to 0:20: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soqXatBNwpA#t=12

@Brumbazz: Yeah, it's visible in 1440, too. In fact, anything at 1920 with or lower has it at high FPS. Not sure about regular speeds. But unless you're aiming for small file sizes/max recording time, 720p has no advantage over 1080p (…

It's the card. GoPro even stopped stocking Sandisk cards because of their continued compatibility issues, and dropped the recording bitrate in firmware because of it (down to 35mb/s vs 45mb/s for newly qualified cards). The Ultras are very in…

Just picked up one of these to replace my Canon EOS M, which had terrible photo image quality. The NEX 6 meets and exceeds my expectations as far as photos and control are concerned. Haven't tested video yet, but the focus peaking and magnifi…

Sony A7 and A7r , FF gems, like GH3 but FF
Fakepics look fake. Unless the R is supposed to be taller. The lens mount gives it away.

Second body to compliment GH2 - Eos M or else
I've got the EOS M, and even with ML using crop mode and RAW, it's nowhere near the GH2's quality, or even approaching it. I'd use my D7100 before the EOS M for video along side the GH2 (still no match). Also, even if the EOS M…

On my first recording with the new firmware, the card (Sandisk 64GB) stopped recording after a few min. Tried recording again, and on lower settings but nothing helped. Then I got the SD ERR after I restarted the camera. Haven't had time to …

@trevmar So the Samsung ones are stable? I know the GoProUser forum has a done bunch of testing, and the GoPro Ultra microSD cards are very random in performance from one card to the next. Many can't sustain a write speed high enough for the…

High quality image size reduction - C3C Image Size
OK, I am absolutely in love with this plugin! The detail is incredibly fine compared to Photoshop, no matter what resize method you use. Normally you wouldn't notice it, but PS also creates black halos, even if you can't see the white on…

@trevmar The issue I was having was the sequence of turning the camera and battery on. If I turned the battery on before the camera, the camera would instantly lock up. It was fine the other way around. Haven't messed with it much since the …

I've had 2x 64GB Sandisk Ultras since launch and no problems with them. No real problems with the cameras, either, beyond the old locking up in low light in photo mode, and some hiccups with external power.

@Azo Yup, I've got both. They both have their ups and downs. The GH2 is fantastic with detail, clarity, and high ISO noise, while the D7100 easily beats it out in color accuracy and dynamic range. The negative of the GH2 is, as you said,…

New firmware was released earlier today. It'd be extremely interesting to see if it fixes the card problem, since it's one of the biggest issues with the previous firmware.

2.7K is awesome! You can already sharpen it well at native resolution, and then scaling it down to 1080p makes it even sharper. Same for noise, resizing will reduce its appearance a bit. It's the perfect setting for low light using Protune.

@kaikerr Amusingly, they're still releasing updates for the GP1 and 2. I've been lucky enough to only have issues when powering through an external battery. Camera doesn't like it when my battery's on before the camera's…
