Hello Bob, Dave here.

Why did you tag the image file with GH3 when the EXIF says it was shot with the D800?

When we test like this, we import all the files into LR4 and change the name upon import.  We typically choose the camera we are collecting data on as the file name so later we can search the network here for as much info as possible.  Sorry if the file name confused you, it's just our process.

Let's see similar shots from both cameras, please. Anything less is close to meaningless in this forum.

Sorry, you did not gain any thing at all from this video?  Will did not give us the OK to post these GH3 images, it's the GH3.  I think there's an issue with this particular GH3 we have being a "special" firmware from Panasonic that we cannot post images from.  I know that it's shooting video in PAL and driving me nuts.

I think what I find most interesting, though, is how well C-AF and focus tracking apparently work on this camera.

Yes, I was very happy to see that.  Will tried to get it to hop over to the yellow dog in that video clip and it would stick on the black dog.  there's 6 clips just like that here.  the Nikon BTW made a mess with video AF.  : (

Based on what is said, it sounds like it's worthy of comparison to the D800, even if not quite there yet. If that's true, it's a major step up from all prior m43s.

I was one of the last ones to hop on the M43 bus here being the video guy.  We used HVX camcorders thru a switcher for years, then when we saw what the GH2's could do (feed live video out AND record the same video to a card) we could get rid of the switcher and record multicam setups in HD, drop them into final Cut as Multicam and swtich in post.  It's a BIG timesaver, better quality, smaller file size and the quality is SO much better.

Look forward to reading, and seeing, more from about C-AF on this camera. Please post links to both the stills and vids from the GH3 on this shoot.

Let me see if we can release them.

Dave
