No, unfortunately not. But don’t be disheartened because as I said before, you can get some cracking pictures. Of course it is having the right tools for the job and so if your primary work really demands the highest resolution then this is not the camera for you, but don’t forget that for many 1280x730p is the preferd format!

The noise performance is influenced by the choice of file settings and I suggest that you search the web for recommendations that will best suit your style of shooting. (Have a look a dvinfo.com or able cine.com). Of course, a faster lens will help to reduce some aspects of noise, although at the loss of d.o.f.
The camera’s resolution is more like that of an HDV camera than a top notch 1920×1080 camera, but that does not necessarily mean that it is incapable of producing fine images. Probably, you will be making use of the shallow d.o.f. that may be achieved with suitable lenses and often the quality of this type of shot will not be lessened by the lower resolution. (Just think of the use of diffusion filters, even stockings, that have been used to soften shots throughout cinema’s history1)
Get to know the camera’s shortcomings and learn to light and shoot accordingly and you will be producing some fine cinematic images.

In what way do you consider the image to be lacking: definition, dynamic range, colour accuracy, unwanted compression artifacts? A better understanding of your concerns will help us to make suggestions.

Whilst this isn’t a major upgrade it does have a couple of improvements that are welcome. It would be great if Panasonic could offer an upgrade for owners of the AF101, I’m sure that many would be prepared to pay for such. How about it Panasonic?

The mtf m4/3 to EF adaptor interfaces between the camera and Canon lens and there is a wired control unit that may be fitted to the pan and tilt handle. Have a look at their website for complete details.

Is it possible to CUDA enabble the current 27inch iMac’s GPU for use with Resolve? If so, could I have the details please.

Just to clarify a point made by Trevor. I’m sure that he would not expose so that face highlights hit 100% zebra, normally something around 65% would be more appropriat and the 100% value he refered to is for scene highlight.

Interesting idea!
I’ve seen the figure of 300 MB/s quoted for USB3 RAID 0 and the internal 2 drive RAID 0 in my MacPro gives me 212 MB/s, adequate for my use.
I have an idea that I have seen the figure of 200MB/s quoted for the WD, but cannot recall where.
