Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2

Hi Looking for the best quality for stills - I can always use the GH2 for video I have a GH2 and GF3 with 14mm and kit lens I have an old KM 5d, with minolta 50mm 1.4, KM 17 - 35 2.8 zoom and a nice sony flash. I have been slightly disappointed with the grain i can see from my micro-4/3 cameras compared to my 10 year old Konica minolta 5d. Do i get a a55 / a580 body and use my old lenses or go for the leica 25mm and stick with my panasonic bodies? I have been using the minolta lenses on the...

I want to be able to use my laptop as an external monitor for the gh2 when I am filming and/or taking photos. Is this possible?

Hi guys, I was experimenting with my DSLR today and was taking a pic of a lit up room while standing in a dark hallway (hope that makes sense). I've been forcing myself to shoot in manual mode so i tried to get the correct exposure but it wasnt happening. I got frustrated and tried taking the shot in auto mode and got a decent exposure. I had a look at the aperture/shutterspd/iso combination to see what the camera chose and replicated the settings in manual mode...i still didnt get the same...

I want to extend the range on my 100-300 mm lens for my GH2 does anyone have any recommendations as to weather a) it's worth doing b) recommend a particular telecoverter c) share experience with using a telecoverter with this lens? thanks,

Hi I have some Canon Rangefinder lenses (35mm f 1.8, 50mm f 1.8 and 135mm f 3.5) that used to belong to my grandfather. I really like the idea of using them again and was thinking of buying a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 Micro 4/3 camera and an adapter to facilitate this. Does anyone have any experience with this combo? Ideally I'll be using this set up to film music videos and sessions, is that just wishful thinking?  Cheers!

I'm new to using SD cards to record video (Panasonic GH2). After months of successful shooting on multiple cards, I finally had the nightmare of all nightmares: a card failure.  Aside from the obvious precautions (keep card dry, keep out of sunlight, etc.) are there any other operational issues that may cause a card to become corrupt?I'm not sure if this caused it, but for my personal "home movie/vacation" usage, I typically use the camera to take BOTH stills and video. At the end of each day...

Hello,This may end up being a moderate epistle for assistance in choosing a camera system, so please bare with me.I have had some interest in photography for several years now. In 2003, I had purchased a Olympus C-5050 and used it extensively while living overseas, in Micronesia. I had purchased an underwater housing from Ikelite and fell in love underwater photography. After I returned to the States, I returned to college and then professional school, which took most of my time. Now that I...
