The GH1 shines at 50Mbps!

Many remember the release of the Panasonic GH1 and it's ability to manually control both shutter speed and aperture. At the time, it was the only DSLR that had this functionality. Of course very soon after, Canon followed suit. It may have also helped that 3rd parties were coming up with very notable updates that improved functionality and added great features that these [Canon] systems were more than ready for. Another great thing about the GH1 is that it was the cheapest full HD DSLR body prior to the Canon T2i.

The GH1 is once again shining with the release of a 3rd party firmware by "Tester13." Oh, and we are talking MJPEG! This means, drumroll, your footage will contain EXIF data! Read more about the firmware and how to upgrade your GH1 codec at EOSHD.
