For the cam guys: GH2 now hacked to 176Mbit!

"The professional codec billed by Panasonic as ?the industry?s most advanced compression format? has found its way onto the GH2.

AVC Intra is usually recorded to extremely expensive P2 cards on high end cameras and here it is on a consumer camera with an SD card.

This is a codec that uses i-frames only unlike consumer AVCHD. Every frame from the sensor is stored. Standard AVCHD is a Long-GOP compression format and works by estimating and guessing at frames in-between ?real? images but Intra doesn?t.

Now the GH2′s AVCHD codec has been hacked turning it into a i-frame only codec, I?ll call it AVCHD Intra. What?s more the GH2 records in AVCHD Intra at an immense 176Mbit, far higher than the 24Mbit Long GOP factory setting."

Took my first serious look at this camera when I saw it's low light performance after the hack. It was on par with RED. Fucking amazing.

I just got hard. :thumbsup
