Btw head US Panasonic imaging manager have NO IDEA about HDMI output capabilities and say that it'll be clear in final version.

We'll know other answers version soon.

@Vitaliy_Kiselev

How could they not know what the capabilities are... are there any other cameras with a clean HDMI, or is it only with HD-SDI, BnC port that you can get a clean 1080p signal?

My lone $20 feels very secure.

@LongJohnSilver

Panasonic always acted like this.
As I am aware, Pentax has more top managment on site, but same problem with any tech guys.

Exhibition is like peacocks competition for managment. As Carlin said, it is competition who have bigger dick.

If some stupid poor tech developer will lead introduction, it undermines credibility.

Maybe marketing people think customer are like when a girl go to buy a laptop (excuse me women) Hooh it´s so nice white I buy it. ;-) @LongJohnSilver and here you have another trash comment in this topic :)

@Kihlian I add other speculations :)

Speaking exclusively to TechRadar at Photokina 2012, Uematsu acknowledged that there have been many requests for focus peaking on the Panasonic GH3 to indicate the sharpest areas in a scene when a video is being recorded. He went on to say that this, and 'zebras' (a type of exposure warning) could be added with a firmware upgrade.

However, he went on to say that adding features with a firmware upgrade takes a level of resources that isn't currently available, and the company would have to assess the demand.

2 Graded frames form the 'Cat video', I am not vaguely skilled as a colourist, but the latitude/colour in these clips were very easy to achieve results.

I know this post goes a little bit off topic, but in regards of gh3 .mov container, I´ve had colorgraded some music videos which were shoot on canon 7D (which stores videos in .mov ) and I noticed that the colours holds better and are better to grade than my hacked GH1 .. could someone smart clarify if .mov container can store more color information than .mts even that both are 4:2:0?

So where, again, did Panny specifically say that the sensor is not muli-aspect?

Also, you guys wanted lower light useability, so to keep the same sensor size, they decreased max pixel count by 1million pixels, presumably to increase the pixel sizes. Wouldn't this ruin the potential multi-aspect ability of the sensor? It sounds like you guys got what you asked for and now aren't happy that you got it.

So where, again, did Panny specifically say that the sensor is not muli-aspect?

In their spec sheets :-) Check resolutions :-)

As for your "bigger pixel" idea. It is wrong. If you make sensor smaller (not multi aspect now), you reduce number of total pixel count. Simple.

Did the photokina team or anyone else for that matter report on what the increments for Shutter speed are?

Don't know how it is at Photokina but at NAB, the major manufacturers like Sony and Panasonic also send engineers to the show and they are in the exhibits floor. They dress like any sales rep and stand next or close to the product they help to develop. Sales reps only learn a script based on a standard list of possible questions which is very limited. When someone throw a curb ball they call the engineers to come to the rescue. The problem in the case of Sony (my experience) is that those engineers are Japanese and only speak limited English, so it's hard to get any information unless you speak their native language.
