GH1 and GH2 together, what an idea!
I've been in a panic, because I'm going to need a second camera to match my GH2 and GH2s are not available. I just realized the obvious, I should buy a GH1!
If I'm shooting in 720p or 1080i, anyone know why the footage wouldn't match? Any caveats? Appreciate any feedback, thanks in advance. Is focusing achieved pretty much the same on both? From what I've quickly read up on it in the last few minutes they are similar. |
You might want to think about a GF2. It's new and the same generation as the GH2 - an even closer match.

Jim, thanks for complicating things...just when I get a "great" idea, you have to come up with a better one!
Seriously, that does seem to be an excellent suggestion. The GF2 even comes with a lens, the GH1 does not. I have to look into this...I have no idea how video operates on it, I would strongly prefer something that looks/behaves similarly to the GH2, and the GF2 might fill the bill, I have no idea. At least it is newer, and would retain it's value a little better if I needed to sell later. |

And there's also the G2. You can get one for the jaw dropping price of $350. The GH1 hack works on it, so you get a high bit rate and it's also got a great focus tracking feature that even the GH2 lacks.
Big drawback is no 24p. |

Brian, thanks for your suggestion...I thought the GH2 had (has) the auto tracking feature...I'll look into the G2, also. Golly gee...I'm editing furiously this week, but I will look into this as I find time.

So far however my mantra has become AF for still, Manual for video. The G2 also has a good bundle deal with the 14-45mm lens which is superior to the 14-42 lens that normally people get. |

G2 also has the cool touch display like the GH2. |

Hacking possibility has been disabled on GH1 by Panny about May 2010, same with G2 and all the others of G serie, I am afraid.

Right Brian. The 14-45 is supposedly the nicer of the two, and makes the bundle well worth the price.

Brian, I was reading up on the focus last night on my GH2 and there is a section devoted to tracking focus feature, which is a separate function from the facial recognition feature.
See page 49 of the manual. |

You can still get hackable GH1's apparently. Here's a PAL version for $550. Hope you like gold.
