43rumors - Possible GH3 Specs?

[NazgulKing]

You sound like a panasonic fanboy.

Dun get me wrong, I like Panasonic lenses and I thk ibis is good to have. If all things being equal of course I will choose a body with ibis versus none. Of course I'm not into videos. I find tat I rarely watch my videos. Photos get more mileage for me.

I'm not a fanboy, in fact, I'm considering the OM-D very seriously as my GF1 replacement. I just think it unfair to keep this gripping going on and on and on and on. One peeve some people have with Olympus cameras is that they don't do in-camera chromatic distortion correction (which you get with Panasonic cameras) but you don't see people mentioning it everywhere they go.

But on 43rumors etc. you get this damn gripe every time a Panasonic camera is mentioned, like as if Panasonic has committed some great sin or something of the like. It gets tiring and distracting because there's more to a camera than the damn IS system.

Video cameras are far more challenging to design than still cameras because the demands on the processing is far greater than still cameras. This is due to the need to have real time processing and on the go output. Otherwise, the camera cannot claim to have HDMI output that can be used while video recording is done.

However, for a mainly stills photographer wishing to buy either system, the IBIS or rather lack of will be a minus to Panasonic.

I thought IBIS is more beneficial to video? I had a sanyo hd cam before and the output was really shaky whenever i make the slightest movement (like panning or stepping forward). I have sworn-off non-IS video cameras since.

Though i've never tried a G3/GH2 before, i'm sure it would be leaps better than my cheap sanyo. I'd be very interested so see a full hd video from G3/GH2 + 45mm 1.8 setup, handheld with some panning or walking. Anyone have such combo? -and time of course

Not advisable to shoot while walking. Panny has no IBIS. the oly 45 has no OIS. If you shoot video using this setup, you will see lots of jerking and jitter..

No professional shoots video without incredible expensive tripods or one of those tripods that allow for frictionless panning! All those high end video cameras from RED or Sony or Canon have no IS of any sort!

Canon: Super Range OIS
Sony: Optical SteadyShot

NazgulKing is talking about the Professional Video Cams. Not the consumer cams like the sony Alpha or Nex or even th 5DMkIII. We are talking about the RED ONE, The Sony FS-700 the Canon C300 etc

If got HD-SDI, that would be bestest.

I hope the specs are real so I can dump the OM-D. Somehow I doubt it. lol

Well, as much as you are pissed that people keep saying panny no IS, i would also saw that the same is said about oly and noise and poor dynamic range
