“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.”

September 18, 2012 at 2:04 pmHeck, 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.

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

September 23, 2012 at 10:53 pmAdapting broadcast lenses to M4/3
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.
