There’s hope… the GH1 was so close, if just a decent codec was used…

But i would love to have a great compact hd video camera. that does it right. with out dealing with a dslr. i wounder if that new Ricoh is gonna have good hd video features. yeah , i’m in the same boat as you . i work with the red & sony f35 a lot.

We can assume that the E-P1 is the consumer version. The professional model was supposed to have weather sealed body and support 1080p video. I certainly hope that is supports 1080/23.976, 1080/24, 1080/25, 1080/29.97, and 1080/30. Not so much interested in overcranked rates, but I'm sure others would disagree, so it would be cool if it supported higher rates, but I sort of doubt it as there won't be a full time active cooling system in there to keep the sensor from overheating. We can also assume that an EVF, likely the detachable unit rumored, rounds out the professional features. Some sort of audio input to accommodate scratch quality audio or audible timecode would also be appreciated (and not the sub-mini connector that Panasonic uses please). 3.5mm at the very least, TA5 would be best, and Lemo 5-pin would be out of this world. Ok, it is apparent that I'm solely interested in video and some of my ramblings are in outer space with respect to reality, but one can dream. (but it does beg the question, do manufacturers realize how easy it would be to 99% dominate the video market, if just one of them actually did video correctly?... its not that hard... GH1 - fails, no b-frame support and poor motion codec / low data rate Canon 5D - fails, sensor too big or DSP processor too slow, bad artifacts and audio is simply incorrect for video, no 24p Canon 7D - fails, much of the same problems as the 5D, but a little less severe, due the the smaller sensor. apparent ghosting problems GF1 - fails, no 24p, same data / codec problems as GH1, poor audio implementation E-P1 - fails, no 1080 or 24p, poor audio implementation) Please please E-P2, be the one, otherwise I'll have to go the RED Scarlet route, which I'd actually sort of rather not, due to other factors. One of them being, I work with a lot of RED owners and when I need that quality, I'm going to be working with people who are much more talented than myself and have the equipment, so I really don't have a legitimate need to purchase a professional cinema camera, just something that suites my own needs and skill levels.

It's not out of Olympus' nature to do this though so I am not surprised, If this is the 31st announcement I think I might look into the 7D.
