    for all the people who thought i was seeing things…used to be a dealbreaker for me…

    “We also have an improved look to motion with the introduction of intra-frame recording (ALL-I). Like AVC-Intra, this stores every frame in a sequence rather than using clever compression methods to predict motion and create synthetic frame. Without this safe-spacing jiggery-pokery video looks more like cinema in the way it moves, especially at 24 frames per second.”

    Heck, yeah –I’ll be getting one! The GH2 has been a fantastic camera for the last (almost) two years. They didn’t mention price point or date of availability.

    [Nigel Thompson] “Its $1300 Jason”

    I’m assuming that’s body only, but even so, the ROI on these cameras is mind-blowing!

    Adapting broadcast lenses to M4/3

    B4 2/3″ lens adapter

    This seems too crazy, but it is tempting to pull my Canon 6.5-78 mm zoom and see what size the image circle is. I don’t have the 2x model, which seems to be a plus for coverage. But worse case scenario, it appears the GH3 digital crop would allow use of a 2/3″ broadcast lens. Downside is the B4 adapter costs $320 just to experiment. Considering accessories like a Chrosziel clip on matte box I have for this lens, it would be sweet to get more use out of a lot of gear I already have on hand.

    Second thought – the 2/3″ adapter only appears practical if the broadcast lens has a built-in 2x converter, or perhaps using a digital crop.
