Having resisted the temptation for over 6 months to upgrade my hacked GH1 to the new GH2 I decided to "go for it". Basically the sensor has increased from 12mp to 18mp ( not always a good move!) and the camera now features a true 24p 1080 mode. 1080 50i is the highest frame rate, yet natively the sensor is 50p so why don't panasonic give us this without a hack? It has several other useful additions like faster burst rate, crop sensor for extended optical zoom giving 4Mp images and over 1000mm equivalent 35mm focal length. Variable speed video recording and touch screen focus were also key elements in the decision to upgrade. The is the out of box test using the "P" mode for stills with the 14-140 and 20mm pancake lenses and a few tests at 24p (24Mbps) and 1080 50i.
