This Panasonic is a rare camera because it was purchased right before the unhackable firmware was released.
(why Panasonic didn't want it hacked? well then they wouldn't have as much to offer in the GH2 or GH3) Currently it is set to film 50mbps which is more then twice the original resolution and is now current in todays standard DSLR's. GH1's were used to make most of the The B&E Shows especially my all time favorite Muddy Winters: https://vimeo.com/15765931 and My edits like https://vimeo.com/74877548 and https://vimeo.com/20466495
For more info on the 100% safe hack can be found here: http://philipbloom.net/2010/06/11/3rd-party-firmware-transforms-wimpy-gh1-into-optimus-prime/
Also included is best in the industry SanDisk 32GB Class 10 card, this will keep up with the 50mbps and will not fill up anytime before the 2 included batteries run out!
Product Features:
Full-HD movie recording in AVCHD
With the GH1, shooting incredible photos is only part of the fun. You can also shoot beautiful, richly detailed movies in Full HD (high-definition) (1920 x 1080) at 24 frames per second, or smooth HD (1280 x 720) movies at 60 frames per second in AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264) with a continuous auto focus function. Just press the Motion Picture button on the back of the camera, and shooting begins.
Enjoy the freedom of manual settings in creative movie mode
The GH1 gives you more creative freedom. It lets you adjust the shutter speed and aperture any way you like when shooting movies. This gives you a wider range of expressive possibilities to explore in your movie making.
iA mode - beautiful HD movies with point-and-shoot ease
Just set the GH1 to iA mode, aim and shoot. The iA does all the rest. It automatically determines the most suitable Scene mode and helps correct blurring, focus, and brightness problems for bright, sharply focused HD movies.
An audio performance that adds to your HD movies
A stereo microphone, featuring Dolby Digital Stereo Creator, on the GH1's upper body records dynamic, true-to-life stereo audio that brings out the power of your HD movies. There is also a Wind Cut function that reduces noise on breezy days.
The advanced iA mode uses Face Recognition to remember individual faces
The GH1 features an enhanced version of LUMIX's clever iA mode that includes Face Recognition, a function that "remembers" registered faces. When there's a familiar face in the frame, it optimizes the focus and exposure so that the face is in sharp focus and bright. This newly evolved technology makes it easy to get beautiful photos of a loved one in a group of people.
Developed 12.1-megapixel live MOS sensor
The GH1's 4/3-type live MOS sensor with 12.1-megapixels gives you the best of both worlds: the superior image quality and the lower power consumption. It also adds a high-speed readout for recording HD movies. You can record images with a 4:3, 3:2 or 16:9 aspect ratio. In each, you get the same angle of view and same outstanding image quality.
The high-speed, high-performance Venus Engine HD
The Venus Engine HD incorporates two CPUs. This not only boosts image processing speed, it also helps achieve an exceptional noise-reduction performance. Also, the two CPUs of the Venus Engine HD allow long-time movie recording in AVCHD while maintaining low power consumption. And the Venus Engine HD features HDMI output too.
