So close yet so far, originally uploaded by john m flores. Can’t replace the battery on the GH2 when a Manfrotto tripod mounting plate is attached. Boo. Surprised that they missed this. -1, Panasonic. UPDATE: A chap on mu-43.com correctly noted that I can rotate the mount 90 degrees and gain access to the battery.…

Photography at MOMA, originally uploaded by john m flores. Tested the GH2 at the Museum of Modern Art. I haven’t been here in many years. The expansion and renovation has really opened the place up – the public spaces and walkways are great for people-watching. Great collection of photos here, and a great place to…

Panasonic GH2 20mm F1.7 vs. Canon G10, originally uploaded by john m flores. Here’s something that vexes me about the GH2 – it sometimes feels a like a point-and-shoot, like a more advanced Canon G10. I haven’t quite put my finger on it. Is it the EVF, particularly in low light when it artificially amps…

New York from West New York, New Jersey, originally uploaded by john m flores. Here’s a shot taken on New Year’s Day, admiring the New York skyline from West New York, New Jersey. No joke, there’s a town called West New York in New Jersey! This shot was taken with the Panasonic GH2 mated to…

Tai Chi Hot Dog, originally uploaded by john m flores. This is why you should always have your camera hanging around your neck, powered on and with the lens cap off. And this is what’s intriguing about the Panasonic GH2 – with one of the pancake primes mounted, you can carry it around your neck…

Panasonic GH2 with Pentax DA40 F2.8 Limited (via Fotodiox adapter) vs. Pentax MX with M50/F1.7, originally uploaded by john m flores. A little throwback today. To the right is the camera that was basically my photography high school and college, the venerable Pentax MX mated to an equally venerable M50/F1.7. Fully manual. I made plenty…

A munchkin eats a munchkin, originally uploaded by john m flores. I’m a luck guy – I get to pick up my nephew every Thursday from daycare. If he’s been a good kid and given a sticker at school, we go to Dunkin’ Donuts and get some Munchkins as a reward. This was a good…

Looks like I’m not the only that has got their grubby paws on the hard-to-find GH2. Architect Björn Utpott shares his thoughts on the GH2 as well as some nice photos. Check it out: http://www.bmupix.com/journal/2010/12/17/gh2-first-impressions.html

Panasonic GH2 20mm F1.7 vs. Pentax K-x 40mm F2.8 Limited, originally uploaded by john m flores. Another view of these two cameras to illustrate their relative size. The GH2 is definitely smaller than the K-x, but I’m waffling on whether or not the size difference is a big deal. Yes, I can stuff the GH2…

Nate, relaxed., originally uploaded by john m flores. Come to think of it, when isn’t he relaxed? Panasonic GH2 with 20/F1.7 prime. Shot at ISO800, F2.0, 1/50s. This was a difficult lighting situation – light streaming in through the window behind the cat. I had to really push the exposure to get the cat well…
