[Goodoldm]

It's 01-09-2012. Why have I not seen this camera in Christmass shopping ads ?

[alanbstard4]

you could presumably shoot a TV series with these, like gardening, or some other reality based programme?

how would video compare to a 5d? I presume the gh2 is not full frame, but has been designed with video in mind. Thanks

@alanbstard4 We've not had a chance to put the two head to head on video, though with a full frame sensor the 5D ought to have the edge in terms of low light recording. However, we were impressed with the G2's video quality - by judicious use of lenses, for example, the large-aperture pancake lens, you can get impressive low light results as well

@WhichWebsite great. thanks for that

Great video here!

With you getting your hands on with the camera, will you by any chance know if it is Rolling Shutter??? :D I really need to know about this.

Thanks.

@ohmss006 It has a "Global Shutter"...No more Jello! They're saying it is essentially shutter-less.

[ohmss006]

@kosstheory Really? Because recently I've been doing some reseach, and they somewhat claim that its not Global shutter and that some rolling shutter issues are visible but has improved, can you reconfirm this for me???
