Not that I mind it for legacy projects, but it's about 6 years too late. I'm just about ready to dump my HVX200 and now they integrate it. Overall though the update looks very promising. -- Elvis Dean

I use the GH1 all the time for long shoots, and it never gets hot. I've done 2.5 hour shows, and it's fine. I assume the GH2 is the same, especially considering you won't be necessarily writing to a c

Your best bets for going out to Flash are to render an AVI using an uncompressed codec like Huffy or Lagarith, or to render out a sequence of PNG files, which you can bring into Flash as a clip.-- Elv
