Hi Tom,

Yeah these have already been posted. I presume the waterfall shot is supposed to demonstrate the control over shutterspeed. The focus pull of the two girls is a nice looking picture, but it shows that with this very small setup, you're going to need the camera really well locked down to do focus while filming. There is a bit of camera shake, just as the cameraman ( or should it be a hybridograher? ) pulls focus.

yea, tru that, you really need to add some weight to the rig before doing some stuff
like focus pulling without a followfocus.

the vignetting is pretty strong on the DOF sample video, where u see the sand as a still.
and it doesnt even look like a short focal length.

lets use this threat to post more footage:

Panasonic Micro 4/3 GH1 and 14-140mm - Video feature hands-on ? AF and Manual mode tests - SlashGear

And so it begins...
YouTube - LUMIX GH1 ??????? ?????????

And here's one in HD:
YouTube - LUMIX GH1 ??????2 ?????????

YouTube - 720p30 from GH1 INDIRECT

From that clip it seems that non moving shots look good
but once you move the camera in a pan then horrible looking
horizontal noise lines start to appear which seemed colored
so they don't appear to be skips from youtube streaming
but rather from the camera itself though I may be wrong.

I suppose this could be because it may have been in an auto mode
that can't react quickly when panning or creates these noise problems
when it has any type of vibration.

In the newest clips from the Japanese store, the zoom
is silent but the aperture button gives
a very noticeable sound and the footage wasn't that good
looking.

Dylan: Maybe this was a prototype model ? There is no such artefacts on previous GH1 videos, even with pan/etc...
Hope other footage won't show the same issue :/

Can't someone put some footage on Vimeo. That's at least real 720p and we could download the original... This youtube cr*p is so hard to judge...

confirmed, the footage posted by Dylan was from a prototype camera:
GH1 1080p24 at PMA 2009 By Steve Mullen On ExposureRoom

I hope you are right and that problem was fixed from the prototype.

I found this new clip from what appears to be
someone using it in their house, and it looks very good but the user didn't pan.

YouTube - DMC-GH1 HD?????

I downloaded the file from YouTube. No doubt its very crisp. But I must admit it doesn't look like it has the special mojo the 5DMkII has. And, unfortunately, I'm seeing banding flutter on this.

But I'll be awaiting footage from skilled hands.

The "PRIVATE" footage looks really nice. So now we know that the footage is good, you can have autofocus and manual aperture control, the only still unresolved question for me is the hdmi output, Can you record uncompressed to a device like the ona AJA just announced at NAB?

Well, unfortunately the "private" clip confirms the 24p in a 29.97i wrapper statement.
Sometimes I am reasonably glad to live in a PAL country.

I believe once people start adapting prime lenses this will look more like the Canon 5D2 (currently DOF is not that shallow with F4 upwards kit lens). And of course once they dial the sharpness and contrast setting down a bit.

Hair looks a bit blocky - wondering whether that's related to the way they read the 12mpx sensor.
