Hi Rob, yes, that's me! The GH2 is amazing although it crapped out on me and I had to recover the files afterwards. That's why this video ends with a still - the file just stopped near the end. First time that's happened to me.

If you're into sound, the ambisonic plugin is really good - I've tried others but this one works extremely well (and it's free - what more can you ask!) and really useful for me as a musician since mic placement isn't easy when you're also playing and don't have ideal monitoring conditions on-site.

I find the GH2 a bit noisy and not so great for stills, but they are lovely little cameras (I use the Cake setting and have two cameras) and for the occasional jobs I do, they are great.

I just bought a GH2 last night - installed firmware 1.2...and now I don't know if i can use ptool. Did i make a mistake and can i still hack my GH2 from firmware 1.2? OOPS!

Sorry for the triple posts - was able to go back to 1.1 and then hack. I will update if anything weird happens.

I just updated 1.2 as well. I haven't updated my GH2 for awhile now, is the HighBitrate setting new? Anyone tested that setting, results? Over the years I've used the GH2 hacked for all my projects, and realize clients and i hardly see any difference with all the hacks. So now I'm trying a job with the original 1.2 firmware and to shoot in all modes, 1080, 720p for slow motion, 24p, to see if it pulls it off. The advantage of the original firmware? I don't have to change SD card of 64gb card that can shoot over 8 hours.

Hi Guys,

Can someone post the original firmware? None of the links work anymore.

Panasonic only host the new firmware

Thanks so much!
