Could the team at photokina take some hi res pictures of the sensor please, only for comparing structure.

Thanks!!!

@endotoxic

As I know they won't be at Photokina anymore. Today Igor had been on exhibiton, but not tomorrow.

They have their normal life.

What I would like to know is...where is all the GH3 raw footage from photokina? Where Panasonic confiscating SD cards? Apart from the uploaded raw from TramManufaktur...its all very quiet. I like the sony colours myself and looked like sony-like from the current videos.

BTW Im convinced that certain shots in "Genesis" was deliberatly done soft to hide alaising....we know how much the GH community hates alaising and moire ;-D

@Kholi came around, excellent news, thanks for the report. Not gonna ask how you saw this stuff, hehe...

I have confirmed with my guy in Panasonic US that the sensor is Panasonic-made, not Sony-made. He was also one of the first to confirm the uncompressed HDMI output the day of the launch.

@kellar42

I can't really say, but it's good to know that a lot of what I had an issue with seems to be coming from ALL-I recording. I went back to make sure that all of the footage we've been seeing is from ALL-I and sure enough.

Hey @driftwood and @Vitaliy_Kiselev

Does the 4x4 and 8x8 blocks apply to AVCHD as well or only ALL-I? I don't know how that stuff works, but I remember reading somewhere that encoding this way can help with banding? is that right or wrong?

I swear I pixel-peeped so hard looking for banding in places I knew it would've been but I could NOT see any in the straight-up AVCHD files.

Also, highlight roll off looks great. Lots of blown out lamps etc, not offensive.

@RatLabProductions

SLIGHTLY more moire than GH2. SLIGHTLY. I'm not sure if it's because it wasn't a final camera or not, but I could detect an ever so slight presence of moire in certain areas. It was kinda hard to spot, and I was peeping super hard. haha

I saw it in a very very fine pattern of a female's shirt, but couldn't really see the moire in hard lines/shapes, and those were all over the place.

@RatLabProductions

I agree, but I also know that it's hard not to blow things out of proportion when you can't get straight answers OR really good footage. I don't think Bruce Logan did a bad job on the GENESIS short film, I saw a lot of potential in it especially where DR and color was concerned, but it didn't seem to be as good as the out-of-the-box GH2 in regards to overall fidelity.

Seems like the culprit's ALL-I, or the marketing hype of "larger numbers". That 24 AVCHD stuff changed my mind in a matter of a few clips.

If someone had the camera for a day, took it outside and posted up a few naked MTS. I'd be surprised if it didn't change a few people's perspective.

@vladnik

I did not see any IPB samples. I have a feeling that it wasn't actually enabled, as I was told that quite a few settings weren't accessible just yet.

@sammy

Looked like they didn't do any film mode adjusting, picked a profile and shot. I'll ask today, though.

I hesitate to say if it's major or incremental, because these mean different things to people. To me, major is 12-13 stops (Blackmagic). It dos feel safe to say, however, that it looks like it's around AF100~FS100.

FS100 is 11

AF100 is 10.

Gh2 is 9.

Judge from there me thinks. All I know is that I saw a city shot with a sky in the background and did a double take. Buildings, sky, detail, etc. Very pleasing.

Here is the first:

1080 25p, 72 Mbps 1600 iso MOV

@kholi ,thanks, if we get 11 ll be happy
