Film modes and color quality
Yes, I have tried and tried all the film modes but I just can't get the same color quality from my GH2 as I get from my old HV30. The only ones that I consider usable for me are Nostalgic, Smooth, Cinema and Normal. All the other coloured ones are just plain ugly or too vivid, but of the four, Nostalgic is on the yellow side while the others boost green. So even with them, green countryside does not match what I always got from my HV30.

This may not look too bad in Nostalgic, but when I film areas of green grassy country they are always too yellow or over-green for my taste.
