First day with Lumix GH2

Got my Panasonic Lumix GH2 today, so I took it around to a few random places, and this is what came of it:



All the shots are straight out of the camera, shot with the 14-42mm kit lens in 24p Cinema mode. Still have a lot to learn about it, but so far I'm pretty impressed. I like it a LOT better than my friend's t2i that I've used. Can't wait until I can pick up some new glass (specifically the Voightlander 25mm 0.95) and a slider/glidecam.

Wow, that was so good! I'd love to try this camera sometime. I love my T2i, but this thing looks sooo legit.

What 50mm 1.4 do you have? I think thats the next lens I'm gonna pick up since you can get good old MF ones for cheap.

That 25mm is a beautiful lens. Consider buying some vintage primes too, im sure you have.

2) MD Minolta 24mm f2.8 lens in excellent condition
3) MC Rokkor-X PG 50mm f1.4
4) MD Rokkor-X 50mm f1.7
5) MC Rokkor-PG 55mm f1.7
6) MD Zoom-Rokkor 35-70mm f3.5 (constant)

So pissed someone else snagged this before I could get to it. But I did snag a rokkor x 50mm 1.4 on ebay. Adaptor for it just came in today. Gonna get some shots with it tomorrow at my friends bands cd release show.

Anyways, heres a little edit I made with NS member Mr.Ignant and some of his buddies to test out the quality of the 720 60p mode:

Thanks man. I used motion for the titles. I duplicated the layer of the actual video and placed the title between the duplicate and the OG layer. Then just made a bezier mask on the top layer, frame by frame. It was pretty time consuming, there has to be an easier way to do it.
