Yes indeedy- very cool low-noise image- I gots to get me one of them there GH2s!

The GH2 is an outstanding camera. However, it definitely has some drawbacks for AP. For instance all of my exposures are limited to 2 minutes and 8 seconds. In a very light polluted area that severely limits what I can see even with filters.

It also requires you to do an in camera dark frame to get the lowest noise levels. That means that each exposure takes twice as long. However, it dramatically reduces noise at all ISO values.

It also will not automatically take a succession of 2+ minute pictures. You must press the button every time you want it to take a new 2+ minute picture. It will take 1 minute or less exposures automatically in succession without you being there to hit the button.

What it does do better than any other camera is shoot and display the highest quality 1080p video in real-time that money can buy. It is known as the bench mark for 1080p video and it costs 1/10th to 1/20th of its competition.

It also can be used as a medium sized 4/3” chip camera or an ultra small 1280x720 cropped chip camera. That basically extends your lens 3.9x without any light loss at all.

I am putting together a video on how to get the most out of this camera and basically any other interchangeable lens camera. It will have a heavy emphasis on real-time and near real-time viewing because I don’t care for post processing as much.

Here is a single shot out of the camera jpg from last night. This is a completely untouched image. It looks exactly like this when I hook the camera to a TV via HDMI @ 1080p.
