Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 - Slow Motion - Seagulls

Since everybody will uploading Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 videos given it started shipping in the UK 10-June-09, I decided my first test would be something a bit different - slow motion !

One of the many brilliant features of the DMC-GH1 is that it records at 1280x720p at 50 fps (60 fps USA) - as well as 1920x1080x50i so if you want a really smooth progressive frame video all you have to do is render your 1280x720p at 25 fps, as per this video clip.

One of the other features I particularily like is the easy to flip round bright LCD display and the eye piece LCD that switches on and switches the main LCD off when you look through it. Then there's the face recognition feature which I have still got to try and when you go to use the slide show feature not only does it pan on image stills but it also plays a fixed music track in background.

The noise you can hear is the wind (I overlooked to switch wind filter on) and the seagull calls at half frequency plus the slight juddering was caused by the heavy winds hitting the camera and tripod.

If you are about to purchase a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 do be aware that the memory card is not included and that you need to order an SDHC class-6 or higher (8GB - gives approx 1-hour) and I understand class-10 is about to start shipping soon.

@buzzterbrown It's because the gh1 sensor only has like 25fps output so it's not true 60fps coming out of the camera. The information is doubled up.

Something is wrong with this. When I freeze frame I see double images of the wings. Was this shot with interlaced video or progressive video?
