Panasonic GH1 banding issue?

There is a long and incredibly interesting thread in the dvxuser.com forum where people analyze the video quality of the Panasonic GH1. It seems the camera has a blue channel banding issue. I hope Panasonic can fix it soon.

UPDATE: It seems the same effect is present in the red channel.
UPDATE2: You can download a video sample from the GH1 from here: http://www.dvxuser.com/barry/PRIVATE.zip.

A little bit of all…

dcresource.com have released a high-ISO comparison between the Canon EOS Rebel T1i vs. Nikon D5000 vs. Olympus E-620 . It’s unlikely that there  an Olympus E-series camera will feature video soon but just for fun you can take a look at this video showing the Zacuto.

And lastly we wish all the best to nikonrumors.com which turns one year old today! Happy Birthday!

(FT 5) Panasonic compact m4/3 will be their next camera

This is the now famous rendered image (remember it is not REAL). But we like it ;)

It was never going to be a big surprise, we knew it would be happening a long time ago . But now Panasonic confirmed that “rumor” to the New York Times.

Here’s the most interesting excerpt from the article: “Panasonic say that they’re working on new models that will pack all of this miraculous technology into even smaller Micro Four Thirds packages.”
