Ups, someone hasn’t been posting in a while.

Here’s what’s going on in HDSLR world right now:
The Panasonic GH2, that has been praised for its outstanding quality among HDSLRs, got a new firmware. Not a hacked one, but a normal Panasonic version that does a much needed upgrade to this camera:

So far the GH2 has only been able to shoot progressive with 24fps. The new firmware adds 25p and 30p wrapped into a 50i/60i stream at 24mb/s.
The camera is currently $300 off (until Dec. 17th): link
