Panasonic’s new AG AF100 micro 4/3″ (13 x 17.3 mm) camera will begin shipping December 27th. Footage from pre production units is just now hitting the web. We will collect as many as we can and post them here.
Panasonic AF100 Video
This is the first RC helicopter footage using an AF100. Shot at 1080 60p on a lumix 7-14mm. This is some of the smoothest RC helicam footage we’ve seen and it is not surprising it comes from one of the leaders in the field, Tabb Firchau. He uses a modified Minicopter Joker and the Copterworks mount.

This is an interesting clip comparing the AF100 and 16mm film.
Philip Bloom has just done a field of view comparison on the Panasonic AF100 and Sony F3. The AF100 has a slightly smaller sensor at micro 4/3 as compared to the full S35 sensor on the Sony F3.
From Vimeo: This is a demo of the new Panasonic AF100 camera that was directed and shot by Leo Ticheli of Leo Ticheli Productions. Camera gamma was set to HD Norm, with knee and chroma adjusted per shot. Lenses used were almost exclusively Zeiss Standard Speed T2.1 lenses, with apertures ranging per shot except where noted. Also, a few of the extreme low light shots were made with the Panasonic Lumix Pancake 20mm F1.7. All footage was recorded to SDHC cards in 1080p @ 23.98. This was edited in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 as Apple Pro Res HQ files.

Philip Bloom has posted a video testing how the Panasonic AG-AF100 responds to situations that cause moire, aliasing, and rolling shutter jello in HDSLR cameras. The AF100 is a noticeable improvement over cameras like the 7D and 5D MkII. The shots also show handheld, shallow depth of field and it’s low light capabilities.

Philip also shot a short film to show off it’s capabilities:
