If you've been thinking of a camera for graduation, this Youtube offers a such example. It was very windy and I was standing on the top (almost on the roof) of the stadium. I had to use ETC mode to extend the 14-140mm lens to 43-434mm to see our charming first lady. Standing up, handheld, no any kind of support, but GF2 and the 14-140mm lens still did a fantastic job on OIS and C-AF, considering the focal length of 868mm (35mm equivalent). And did I say it was very windy, see the girl's hat blown off, and I was near the roof of a huge football arena? The wind noise cut feature of GF2 mic also did a very good job.
This is the original without being stabilized by Deshaker:
For what Olympus, Sony, Canon and Nikon can offer, can they produce anything like this in a similar situation? Do they have anything available for 868mm, continuous AF and virtually free of AF hunting? Note that I'm not talking about camcorder, but a camera that takes DSLR-class photos!
My patch works the same for both gf2 and gf3. The only difference is: the current gf3 hack requires the same GOP for different modes. My patch always uses GOP 6, thus no problem.
I have a GF3, and hacked with your firmware for GF2, it does look better, do you have any plan to support GF3?
