I am about to get mine on friday, comes with the 14-42mm lens just looking for some recommendations on lenses, accesories, etc. Any tips for shooting would be helpful too, I know my was around a DSLR but am excited to get better at filming. Thanks for your help.

thanks, ive been using the 14-42 as well, the quality is good and all im just not happy with how smooth the zoom is and am looking for more of a specialized lens. By the way, did you hack the gh2 and if so then how was it?

I have the 14-42 also, but I don't zoom when I shoot. I hacked mine, I have mysteron on it now, and I used to use quantum, though I do want to look into the sports settings, as well as the day/night/soft skin tone ones. Timebuster looks cool for time lapses, and lastly, I used to have mine set to PAL so that I could record intra at 720 50p, though I think the new sports setting with gop 2 are supposed to be better. I need to just sit down for a few hours, read up, and then download a few.

What does everyone on here use for film modes?

I did hack it, I used the "cake" hack. 66mbps and longer clip duration. The footage has a lot of latitude. It wasn't hard to do.
