Interesting Panasonic GH1 test-video!

Thrifty – GH-1 goes to the Thrift Store from kholi hicks on Vimeo.

This is exactly the video I was waiting for. A moving subject in outdoor and indoor locations. To date, the Panasonic GH1 has the only usable video capabilities. Of course you can use the Canon 5d markII or the Nikon D90 or the new rebel, but all three have very strong limitations. What that video shows me is that the camera handles motion very well. There isn’t any terrible “Jello” effect like the one from the Nikon D90.  Some scenes are overexposed but this may be down to user error. The only thing I do not like is the low 17Mb/s rate. On HD screens may you will see some compression artifacts. I hope to get the camera soon to test it.

Oh and yes, i like the shots taken with the Contax Zeiss 1.4 lens! Wonderful!
