Native anamorphic VGA hack GH1 with tiny super 8 cinemascope lens : quick test
I did the Anamorphic hack on my GH1, it let you having native anamorphic 1920X720 clip directly from the camera, and you can edit them without having to stretch the clip.
The hack VGA mode is a 4/3 mode, that's why it is less compressed than using anamorphic on a 16/9 AVCHD mode ( vimeo.com/29881958 ), and look more like 2.66 ratio, especially with a 2X anamorphic lens.
