[SGVLUG] Hacked w/Open Source and lens a Consumer Cam Challenges $60, 000 Pro Rigs

[matti]

Summary:


 "Coppola’s and my chosen camera, the Panasonic GH2, captured video at an astounding 150 mbps for the test and was mated with a motion picture lens, not the lens that came with the camera. It, just as mine, was hacked with a piece of open source firmware that blows its performance far beyond that set by the manufacturer ... Panasonic has dropped the price of a GH2 body to $750, less than a day’s rental of a pro video camera a few years ago.


To be honest, my favorite, viewing on my computer screen, was the Sony CineAlta F65. Colors were natural and the image really popped. But the difference was subtle and as it costs as much as a Lexus sport model, maybe I’ll stick with my Panasonic,.."
