pretty expensive for what it is. Great that someone figured it out, it still doesn't eliminate the camera actually line skipping. A real fix will have to be a firmware/hardware change.

Dumb. All it does is soften the image, plus it doesn't work on wide angles. The problem persists...

Lol my GH2 doesn't have noticeable moire or aliasing and with a firmware hack resolves more detail than the 5dii. All for less than half the price. U jelly canon users?

You also got it 2 and 1/2 years - 3 years after everyone else shot 7D's or 5D's. There better have been some progress made. Panasonic has more hackable software.
I have several friends who have had the hacks crash there cameras since the hack wasn't stable yet. Now they can't warranty the camera. Sucks for them.

Yeah, that's why I'm not going to install it until few more months, when a stable version is released (hopefully with 1080 60p!). And good point about the progress in the past few years. I'm sure the next canon bodies to drop will fix a lot of these issues.

yeah. I just wouldn't be so fast to knock a camera that started a revolution. As many that will try to deny it, it really did. While they're not pro cinematic tools, they work. And while I like the GH2/GH1 and the new Sony's coming out in the DSLR line up nothing is really game changing in my eyes. Sure you fix lineskipping and aliasing in some cameras. Even some of these cameras still line skip, others are just coming out with ways of blending or processing the information a little better. The Sony and Panasonics feel like middle of the road cameras for me. Just like the NEX-FS100 and equivalent Panasonic AG-AF100 or w/e its called are in there respective field. If I were a Sony or Panasonic user I would've just stayed with an HVX or a EX1 as to me the differences just arent there enough to warrant buying a filler camera.
The problem with waiting down the road is some of the newer cameras are locked and can't be hacked from my understanding. I could be wrong.
But at the end of the day they're photo cameras first, no matter which one it is. They're going to have issues. My next purchase will be a movie camera first. But I will always have a DSLR for alternate angles, perspective shots, and time lapses.
This isn't knocking the cameras, they're all good, everyone should be out there shooting regardless of what it is. Just my 2 cents on what is on the market right now. The only camera currently out Sub 20,000 I've really liked that isn't an Arri film camera is a Sony f3, but when unlocking S-Log, and getting lenses your easily over 20,000. I'm sitting tight to see what Sony, Canon and others have on the docket for the future.

I would highly doubt this, just saying...

agreed. Just look at how long it took for HD Prosumer cameras to get 60 frames per second at 1080p. I doubt a hack can add that feature to a DSLR.

At least the DSLRS right now, maybe in the future, but they fucking overheat after 10 mins of 1080p24.

canons do, panasonic gh1's/2's don't.

The GH2's sensor actually outputs 1080 60p. The firmware just wraps in in a 60i codec. It also has a mode that can shoot 4MP stills at 40fps. So technically it should be possible, but probably very difficult to implement. Vitaliy is supposedly working on adding it to a future release of Ptools. We will see though.

Not true. And this comes from shooting 2 in Hawaii for nearly 2 months.

And it was anywhere from 90-100 degrees while I was shooting. Maybe some do, maybe it depends on how you shoot. I've never had this problem though.

I don't know a single person who has had overheating problems.

well, i guess i meant the t2i. either way, no way they would upgrade any dslr to 1080p60 without upgrading sensors.
