Official Panasonic GH3 topic

Psyco

Things I really don't like:

1) No 100/120fps recording. Why no 720p100?

50/60p is nice, but I already have that with my GH2. Where is the upgrade for slomo-shooting?

2) Lower bitrate on higher fps modes - wtf? You get 80mbs for 30fps but only about half of it (50mbs) for twice the amount of data in 60fps mode?

Thats just limiting the hardware by crippling the software.

3) To multi aspekt or to not multi aspekt? Do we have a multi aspekt sensor with the smaller crop factor in 16:9 mode of 1,86x?

whynot

The DMC-GH3 is capable of image output via an optional mini HDMI cable to the external monitor even in a video recording.

Do not coprate interframe and intraframe modes. intraframe just do not work at 60p

To multi aspekt or to not multi aspekt?

It is not multy aspect.

I dont understand, in amazon and dpreview says the sensor is multi aspect (4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 1:1), but in http://www.personal-view.com/photokina/coverage/gh3 VK says is non multi aspect.

Another shot with GH3 and CV 25mm f:0,95 and Panix 12-35mm f2,8

Maybe they have omitted some features intentionally for the hack ;-)

Cat's Arse Hole Want are they trying to say?

@Manu4Vendetta

You are mixing different things (sensor and image). All 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 1:1 modes had always been available on non multy aspect sensors.

Nice. Hopefully it will be down to at least EUR 1050 in a year.

this is very sad news to me, too much drawbacks , the only thing that can force me to buy it will be clean hdmi with 1080 50p 4:2:2 8bit or if Vitaliy and his team will make some magic again..

Guys, guess how many GH3 bodies are provided to the press presented now at Panasonic event?

I'll help you.

ONE!

42.5 f1.2, niceeee.

chef

lol just one!

Is it just me who likes the look of Genesis BTS better than the Genesis itself? So I guess my initial disimpression was due to the weird color grading.

And that French cat-test restored my confidence in Panasonic. Woofff... It's capable of delivering good picture. At least if grading maniacs keep their hands off it.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev maybe its the same body dpreview had and the SAME body P.B. had for the video shoot? :-P

konjow

any info about Auto Focus Tracking in Video improvement?

Vitaliy_Kiselev

@Psyco

May be. :-) One and only relict.

On abanico's twitter:

A thought for u all. All Intra tidied away under 50-72mbps. And people have said 154mbps isnt enough for a GH2 under Intra. Hopefully, I will have some GH3 mts files to analyse shortly.

@konjow It is listed as a feature on http://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/systemcamera/gms/gh3/specifications.html However - too early to say how it works and IF it will be working on the bodies to be sold on next months...

Vitaliy_Kiselev

@driftwood

Guys are working on this :-)

And remember that 50p and 60p Full HD modes do not have ANY intra option.

Only 50mbps.

Special of multi-aspect dreamers (I choosed improper, but more civil word here):

[4:3] 4,608 x 3,456 (L),
[3:2] 4,608 x 3,072 (L)
[16:9] 4,608 x 2,592 (L)
[1:1] 3,456 x 3,456 (L)

All simple cropping from normal, non multiaspect sensor.

stoney

Only interframe mode for 50p and 60p should not be a show-stopper.

hedrox

GUYS! looks like they updated video specifications! 1080 50p in mov and 50mbit! hurray! http://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/systemcamera/gms/gh3/video_capability.html

stoney

I hope that decision about non multiaspect sensor helps support 24p mode on future Lumix Gf/Gx/G.

Howdy, Stranger!
