Are you sure you're not seeing artifacts that have to do with the SD conversion? That's what I see.

Re: Sample clips discussion
 

There's lots of that, too :D

The original footage has a ton of blurring at the corners, which isn't so much an issue when focus is in the middle anyway. If you stop the lens down to about f5.6, most of it goes away and you get a nice clean wide-angle shot - of course by then, you're not that much wider than the kit lens at 14.

I'd had this WA adapter in a yard sale box (convenient, considering I'd gotten it at a yard sale), because it absolutely sucked with my HV30. On a whim, I plopped it on the 20 and... well, maybe it'll stay around a bit longer. Next step is to try it on my wife's ELP1s 14-42 lens and see if I can't eek out an actual 14mm on the cheap.

I see, I didn't read your post completely so I didn't realize you were using a WA adapter. Yes, it no doubt compromised things a bit.

I recently shot some fly-fishing footage with my GH-2. Amazingly, a huge bull elk came down to the water while I was filming to drink from the same pool my guide was fishing out of. Simply amazing...

The video was shot in 720p and was editing using Sony Vegas. I used some film-type effects on the footage.

The underwater shots were done with a GoPro cam.

Jerry, I don't know how much things were the results of the film effects you used, but your video was beautiful. Really nice. Great work.

Re: Sample clips discussion
 

Here's a video I worked on, we used all three of my GH2's (unhacked) and a variety of lenses, from vintage Pentax 50mm 1.4 to the Oly 14-55mm m43.

Picked up my GH2 with canon fd 28 mm for this shoot instead of sony z5 like I would usually do. All handheld with an addition of manfrotto 501 base plate just for the weight of it.
Over all I was happy with camera's performance and versatility.
Handheld mic runs directly to gh2, but that mini adapter keeps popping out of the jack. Brian's lav runs into olympus recorder, I guess I should find a better solution for my 2nd audio channel.

Re: Sample clips discussion
 

Thanks for posting! The mini plug jack isn't secure enough to use for anything other than a shotgun mic, in my opinion. Even then you need to be careful! For times when a shotgun mic would be useful: a mini shotgun like this one: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/534023-REG/Sennheiser_MKE_400_MKE_400_Compact_Video.html

Here is an interview-based documentary I shot with the GH-2. To fully appreciate this photographer's wildlife photos, be sure to go to Youtube and watch full-screen in HD. Some of the best wildlife photography I've ever seen!

Alex K - HAHA the footage was good the interviews great - it's all about content for sure. Now they've been moved on it's just a moment in history - loved it.

I know we don't use this thread a lot (which is a shame) - but I thought I'd update it with some recent test footage:

Archery Video Shot with GH2
 

I recently produced a video profiling a female bowhunter who lives in Colorado. This was shot entirely with the GH2 and edited on Sony Vegas. I had a lot of fun with this project:

Stills from a recent shoot
 

These are three stills from a set of interviews I shot for a extras documentary for an upcoming DVD release. The GH2 was actually set up as a B camera to a JVC HM750 but these came out so nice, I thought I would share them.

Re: Archery Video Shot with GH2
 

That girl must be very proud of her bow and arrow technique, pity doesn't have any feelings for the animal. Glad you had a lot of fun with the project Jerry.

I'm completely new to digital still cameras, but learning something new about the GH3 every time I go out.
