Burst Mode vs Hacked GH2 at 132mbs – How do they compare?

Edited from the Eyepatch archive. Technical observations and credits reflect the original material; old availability and prices are historical.

The GH2 offers a burst JPEG mode @ 40fps for 1 second. With the new release of Ptool 3.62, I wanted to test how it held up to 132mb with the hacked GH2. While 132mb might not be the best quality setting that will be discovered for the GH2, for the time being, I think it makes a good benchmark for comparison versus other cameras, or even other camera modes, such as this burst mode.

It’s actually fairly shocking how close the two modes are. They could be easily intercut with each other, although I would certainly use the burst mode if it was avaliable for full time shooting.
