A Lumix GH-2 landed here last week. I was swamped so was unable to begin using until the weekend.<\/p>\n

On Saturday I did a short hike. Enjoyed taking one small camera (the GH-2 is small – no mirror!), a couple of lenses and a small tripod – and shooting both stills and video. (Photo is of an airplane named the GH-2 – couldn’t resist.)<\/p>\n

Wow! The camera has amazed me – shooting both stills and video, plus using an old Minolta MC f\/1.4 lens – about 35 years old I think – with an inexpensive micro four thirds adapter. For me, shooting with narrow depth of field is something I have not been able to do well as I mostly shoot video.<\/p>\n

This changes everything. Spent the afternoon wandering around downtown shooting from the upper levels of parking garages to the streets below. Part of a future effort at creating the area’s first tilt lens effect “miniatures” video of the city.<\/p>\n

This will be fun. No buyer’s remorse here. The GH-2 has exceeded my expectations and I have only scratched the surface of what it is capable of doing.<\/p>\n
