@ahbleza Im just clearing up which IPB mode shian is using in his tests, I don't want to reproduce things till Ive finished my own 'slightly' different test. Until then I won't be saying anything. Be out at the weekend.

As for the LCD/EVF discrepancy I'll run a few tests.

Here's a quick lit scene, LCD screen test. Both GH2 and GH3 on Standard 0,0,0,0 WB 3200, 14-140 Lens each at 14mm, 50 ss, ISO 200, same aperture. LCD screens both set to zeros (neutral). The GH3 LCD shows more accurate colour rendition to the scene being imaged. The GH2 EVF looked similar to the GH3 LCD and EVF according to my eye. The odd one out was the GH2 LCD.

Here's an EVF shootout at the same scene same settings as above (gh2 Left, GH3 right).

Incidentally, I am not in dispute with Shian at all. I just havent made any judgement yet until I complete my own tests this week.

that makes me think we have a bad unit.

And I understand the confusion with the modes. It's quite confusing with all the new rec modes, that some of my verbiage would not be clear.

If Panasonic is already getting bad unit, then damn. If I remember well @shian you had a bad GH2 unit too back when you bought yours?

@shian This reminds me on my very first digital camera 10 years ago (it was pocket-size Canon), its LCD screen got damaged by time and its colors looked about same like what I saw on your photo. If the colors of the LVF of your GH3 are fine, go to replace your unit for another one.

@driftwood Nick, please answer me about that flickering.... on your "GH3 Review Part 7" your actor stands on the dark part of the street, it is bigger part (1:12''-1:20'') and it flickers on just any screen where I watched it. Is that flickering also on the original file and was this shot done by the 12-35 lens?

I have also been comparing gh3 72mbps intra in 25p vs gh2 Orion 100mbps and I have to say the gh2 is massively better.

I had a shoot yesterday and noticed terrible moire and micro jittering round hard edges. I also find the viewfinder very difficult to verify my focus in comparison to the gh2. The evf and oled have a very pinkish hue.

It's the first time I have looked at my rushes and not been impressed with the quality. When i always has with the gh2. I sadly will be going back to my trusty gh2!

@driftwood...you earlier mentioned that your GH3 produced clean HDMI out in 24p. Now, I tested this today with a Intensity Extreme and recorded with Blackmagic Media Express. Now, the only setting I got this to work is when I eighter have the GH3 Video Out in "Auto" or "1080i". I know for sure that the Intensity supports 1080 24p. I managed to get 1080 50i. The moment I switch GH3 video out to 1080 24p, my live feed is gone (note, I did remember to adapt the Media Express settings to 24p!).

By the way, the footage I captured with HDMI out compared to the ALL-I 72 MBit is like day and night. HDMI out looks really really great.

I read some posts that it is common that HDMI out is 50i. But if there is a setting in the GH3, it must work have the 24p option.

Anybody else having this issue.

I did test the GH3 with the Ninja2. It worked fine. Very slight difference in contrast but the quality was very similar to the internal recording.

@collierlandry was told differently, so we skipped the test. But thank you for testing it for us. Good to know.

The GH3 switches on 1080p mode on Panasonic Viera screens when HDMI output is selected to 1080p and playing back 24p. I didn't say I'd tested it with an Atomos.

Tried to tell people about the AVCHD stuff before the camera was even released... guess people really only see numbers at first.
