a little bit of everything…

Travis sent us this video with folowing message:
This is a rock climbing video I shot entirely with the GF1 and 20mm pancake this weekend. It was shot in full manual focus mode without any Image Stabilization. I think this really shows the potential of the GF1 and the 20mm pancake lens as video devices.
Check out the clip starting at 50 seconds it was with the 2x digital zoom. It was actually usable.
