Looking very good, guys. I wonder if someone could build a gimbal for this on a DJI phantom.

@kendalloz, no worries! Pretty in pink. :P @kellar42, the GM1 on a brushless would bare down the Phantom too much, but it works to put it on a simple anti-vib plate and a tilt mount. You won't be able to hook up a remote release and WiFi is not an option (except maybe on the Vision 5.8GHz model) but you can set it up for time-lapse and with the 20/1.7 or 14/2.5 or the zuiko 12/2.0 you should be OK on the scales and shoot some tack sharp aerials. I'm not too sure about the 12-32 kit lens whether the PowerOIS works good with micro vibrations or not. Don't bother testing with the Canon PowerShot S95 or that series. Its IS wobbles like crazy at any shutter speeds. :) I would say that the GM1 on the Phantom is quite ideal, but you would probably not be able to get a downlink, HDMI is supposedly not in use during shooting, same with composite out, and just adding 5.8GHz Tx and wiring would probably push it. The flight time should be somewhere around 6-7 minutes, tops. :)

Is this camera better than RX100 mark ii?

Would someone that has this camera be able to let us know if it has clean HDMI out? I don't think anyone has confirmed this yet.

The GM1 is a simply amazing little device. I've been shooting with it for a couple weeks now, and I prefer the colors and rendition to the GH3, though it does seem to suffer from aliasing, even with sharpness turned down. As far as picture profile, I set at standard, with contrast -4, sharpness -2, saturation -2 and NR at 0 (because I still haven't picked up denoiser software). The GM1 seems to have much less sharpening and higher contrast than the GH3 at the default setting. With the 12-35 f/2.8 lens, handling is no problem (I've got a leather case, which helps with grip), but things get pretty shaky with the 35-100 zoom, since I can't seem to hold the camera steady with outstretched arms. The OLED screen on the GH3 was a big selling point for me, but I prefer the monitor on the GM1, it's very clear and easy as pie to judge exposures. I don't find the peaking to be all that useful, as it's usually in poor lighting conditions that I need some focusing assistance the most, and without anything shiny or contrasty, it's practically useless. At the moment, I only have two batteries, but if you're considering buying the camera, it wouldn't hurt to pick up at least two extra, as they don't last very long. Panasonic claims something like 40 minutes actual shooting time at 60i I believe, but I'm not so sure it lasts that long in practice, and I shoot exclusively at 24p. Anyhow, as you can see from the samples above (especially compared to the BMPCC, the GM1 holds its own, and I would recommend it as a B camera without hesitation.

Surprised with the Mega OIS performance of the kitlens at relatively long exposures (1/4 to 1/2 second handheld). Power OIS is supposed to fare better in terms of long exposure times at wide angle, but this little one is stellar. :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/cablefreak/11579840334/
