Sorry the snow is holding yours up mate, but the wait will be worth it, there wasn't anyone more surprised than me when the postie turned up at my door this morning.

I don't even know if the camera works yet, anyone know how long the battery is going to take, its bloody hot to touch, that worrying me, my normal G2 batts don't get this hot.

It says 140 min Approx in the book. Battery size is waaaaay smaller and condense than the GH1 battery.
 
Yep, if i had read my own ? i would have said the same, but i'm excited and forgot the basic rules ;-)

In all honesty, I've memorised every single page of the manual reading the PDF over the past week. I was almost tempted to print every page and blue tac them to the wall. It didn't get past the missus :)

Very premature of me to ask but I'm wondering that if the GH2 battery is
SO much smaller than the GH1, does this mean less capacity?
 
I'm glad you read the manual because i have a ? already, without thinking i put a SD card in without formatting it, the card had folders from my G2, so the GH2 followed on from the the G2's numbering, so now my GH2 looks like i have taken 2000 images, i tried to rest it but the numbering wont reset, how the hell can i do it.

Picked up mine w/ the 14mm yesterday but couldn't play with it until 5 min this morning and all I can say is that coming from the LCD of the GF1 the EVF completely blew me away. Such detail and crispness, yumm...

AF is bloody fast but we all know that.

My Voigtländer 25mm/f0.95 is en route and should arrive tomorrow. Until then I'll give it a run (especially the AF in low light) with the 20mm and 45-200.

Will also take some test shots with all the legacy glass and run comparisons at ISO 1600 and 3200 between the GF1 and the GH2.

Guess I'll have to install LR3 RC as well then

Thanks & best regards,

Hi,

Congrats to your new camera!

Can you post some portraits please? I'd be interested to see how the skintones come out without any or not much postprocessing.

Much appreciated!
Stevo
 
I'm off out the door in the 2 mins, so this is a quick test.

These are ooc full sized images, no PP, hand held with the 100-300 @ 300mm

Hope there of some use.

I can't see the noise!
 
Thank you for these quick shots. Now we have some real world taste (test) of GH2! They look very clean to me up to iso 3200. That's a big jump in IQ.

Thank you!

Thanks. These pictures look virtually identical. I can't see any noise.
 
There's some noise in all three (look at the background in the 800 and 1600 pics, and all over in the 3200 pic) but it's handled very well. Looks like a winner!

Dunno...I've done the same with my GH1 :D
 
  • Congrats, you have now two great cameras G2 and GH2
  • There is no noise on the 800 iso, 1600 iso have a very fine grain almost invisible, 3200 iso, here we start to see some noise but not much, this is a new standart for m 4/3 cameras, really a great job that Panasonic Lumix has done

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

God is the tangential point between zero and infinity.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

God always take the simplest way.

Mine's been charging for over 90 mins, only very slightly slightly warm at the moment
 
They all look good to me, but at 800 is just superb! A real Matryoshka doll, confirmed

first hands from Russia! :-)
