Brave New World - GH2 AVCHD 42Mbit

with the not so sharp samyang 35mm f1.4
the author's impression of the hack:
-Noise now has a lovely film like fine grain, much more organic and less electronic looking
-Noise smears far less detail
-Low light performance is just better all round
-Less compression appears to have helped with banding on gradated tones, looks closer to 10bit than 8bit!
-Significantly better than the high bitrate MJPEG mode especially in low light
-Colour seems improved, I am getting some beautifully rich tones out of it
-Detail has increased and is much more solid looking, even with heavy camera movement

well who can say anything bad about an vidoe that uses the final monologue from ruger hauer in blade runner to the spaced out sounds of vangelis

no this is awesome , those hacks to the panny really uneashes potential
visual greatness , if the potential is there why does panny deprive its customers of it ?

reminds me of intel intentially "breaking " perfectly good computer chips to cripple their performance so they would have a product to sell at a lower price point to attract buyers with less money along side there "premium " undamaged chips

ahh corporations the more you know them .......

I read the other day that when AVCHD was created sony and panasonic (and somebody else) came to the agreement that the highest bit rate for consumer cams would be 24 mbits. The why escapes me...

That was an almost beautiful video, something very ethereal about it and very calming.

AVCHD 2.0 has a limit (agreed by sony and pana) of 28mbits.
