Nice Philip.

I just invested in a bunch of FD primes...

24mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.8, 100mm f/2.8, 135mm f/2.5

And m4/3 to FD adapter for when I get my GH1. Can't wait to start getting some sharper footage with shallow DOF. My HV30/adapter combo just aint cuttin it.

Thanks for the footage.

peace

what iso and shutter speed was this shot at?

Wow, impressive for a non-pro camera. Does anyone know what the price point (US) is going to be?

omg you're such a tease !
tasty softness at f1.4... very hamiltonesque.
+ wonderful bokeh on the night traffic as i hoped (how about ISO and any noise issues ?)

...and there shall be much rejoicing to swap lenses at will and cast different looks :D

I've read that AVCHD is almost twice as bandwidth efficient as HDV. If so, I'm not sure that 17mbps is that stingy.

Thanks for this ditty, not too impressed by the performance of the cam this time around :( Should I blame the Nikon adapter?

Nice. The shot of the window screen was for demonstrating moire and aliasing I'm guessing. The softness helps I am guessing.

And Badalamenti is clasisc!

Thanks for posting, the footage looks impressive, especially that shot of the girl at the table with the book. The look appears similar to a 100mm Nikon lens on my SG Pro, except the macro stuff, which I guess makes sense.

What shutter speed and ISO were you using for most of these shots? I'm guessing the aperture was wide open?

Also, a quick tip I picked up somewhere. Adding a very small amount of noise can help reduce compression artifacts. Something that might help with this camera.

hey philip, I remember at dvxuser, Kholi saying that you can import edited custom color profiles into the GH1.. That might help with the color grading?

Hi Philip, This is a little off topic, however. Have you considered a motion stablizer in conjunction with the kit lens? GH1 body + lens = 30 oz max. I'm thinking a Hague Mini Motion Stablizer would do the trick. Tests on mine with 1KG food bag, a breeze.

I imagine someone will come up with some workaround to the 17mbps codec. As long as you have a faster card, I would think it would be possible.

your dog has itchy paws.

nice soundtrack :) where's audrey horne?

very nice...:)

look's great but will Final Cut Pro 5 Or Express 4 Handle the AVCHD files from this camera?

Perhaps my FD lenses will appreciate in value now.

Gotta love the Twin Peaks soundtrack.

why is this so much more pixelated looking than your other videos??

Thank you for posting this! I think this is the footage that will push me over to the 7D. You're right about the 17Mbps being stingy. Glad to hear it from a GH1 owner.

atomic wings?
