This video is part of my extensive review of the Nikon D800 for Streaming Media Producer - specifically about using the D800 for video production.

This video compares the D800 to the GH2 with regard to dynamic range and being able to lift the blacks to usable video. Here we see that the Nikon D800 maintains usable detail way down into the blacks, while the GH2 obliterates the dark areas with compression artifacts and makes recovering similar detail impossible.
