Here’s another good blog talking about the GH2 – Micro 4/3rds Photography. Includes some video samples, some AF torture tests, and some lens testing. Worth a click!

Stewie is my co-pilot, originally uploaded by john m flores. Taken with the Panasonic GH2 in iA (intelligent Auto) mode. I rarely use the automated modes on a camera because just end up fighting with them. Kind of like when you argue with your GPS on the best way to get home. But I can’t…

Alex, Again., originally uploaded by john m flores. I felt so bad about that last photo with the poor photos of this cat. I had to try again! Panasonic GH2 with 20mm F1.7 pancake lens. Photos shot at ISO1600, F1.7, 1/30. This is more like it. As you can tell by the settings, there wasn’t…

Pondering Pollock/Pondering Panasonic, originally uploaded by john m flores. This one was a challenge. I had my much-loved Pentax DA70 F2.4 Limited mounted on the Panasonic GH2 via a Fotodiox adapter. IIRC I was shooting wide open – F2.4 – which is not a problem with this lens. I’m @ ISO1600 and still at 1/100s,…

The bearable weight of being, originally uploaded by john m flores. Panasonic GH2 with 20mm F1.7 @ ISO1600, F2.0, 1/160. When you’re in a setting where the light is consistent and you can set and forget the ISO, the GH2 is a quick, light and unobtrusive camera. The shutter is quiet (no leaf shutter quiet,…

Panasonic GH2 20mm F1.7 vs. Pentax K20d 40mm F2.8 Limited, originally uploaded by john m flores. Another gear shot. The K20d on the right is no giant, but here it’s bullying the little GH2. I did some ISO800 shots last night of our sleeping cat and these two matched up pretty well. The Canon G10…

Player Piano, originally uploaded by john m flores. Museum of Modern Art, New YorkGH2 with 20mm F1.7 @ ISO1600, F1.7, 1/80s They’ve got this performance exhibit at MOMA where they’ve cut a hole in a grand piano. Every 30 minutes a performer squeezes through the hole and plays the piano backwards while walking around this…

Bike outside MOMA, originally uploaded by john m flores. And then there are times when the GH2 is capable of DOF control and blurred backgrounds. This shot was with the 20mm F1.7 set to F2.5 with a shutter of 1/100 at base ISO (160). I leaned in to frame the bike, throwing the rest of…

GH2 Dynamic range test, originally uploaded by john m flores. Here’s an interesting one. And by interesting I don’t mean visually compelling… When I was framing this shot in the GH2’s EVF, I looked at the shadows in the lower right and left and saw nothing but black. I thought there was nothing there, but…
