The 30 minute clip is due to the European Greed Tax Department
politics, without this limitation the camera would be considered a
video-camcorder for which higher importing duties apply than for
photo cameras. As you may now the Greeks are striking now for the
right to be lazy, only work 4 hours per day and retire at the end of
50 and therefor the tax payers in the other countries need to
continue high taxes so that we all together can support those poor
Greek people. After all we wouldn't want them to become responsible,
it's in their culture that they should sleep from noon till 4pm, and
we should respect other country's cultures! :-)
So in short, the Greeks are to blame for the 30 minute limit, and
also for a lot of other things.
Someone was able to hack the GH1 firmware, but the GH2 firmware seems
to be unhackable and there is no difference between the US firmware
updates and the EU ones. It's just the same firmware so the US/EU
identity is built in the camera itself.
