Panasonic GH4 Announced

[rlee]

The GH4 has just been announced. Has some very impressive specs but will have to wait and see when its in peoples hands to how well it works. 4K to the masses...? Thoughts?

Pretty awesome. Anyone know a projected price?

4k is meh. 10-bit is a godsend.

2K for body

 

[TaranItUp]

Been saving up for this one, can't decide if I should invest for this camera, or wait for the gh3 price to drop. Decisions, decisions.

 

[lIllI]

The only way I could justify getting a GH4 is if I spend money on a solid external recorder. Otherwise, I don't see much of an advantage of this over a GH3.

 

[Coalescent]

The 96fps would be sick, but I'M TIRED OF 8 BIT 4:2:0!

Like someone else said, the recorder is the only thing that would make it worth it for me. Depending on price though, I'm sure i'll end up with it because I'm a gear whore and have to try it out.

Master pedestal, knee adjustment, focus peaking, zebra, synchro scan, broadcast Luma switchable...it seems Panasonic is finally adding the highly coveted video controls of a DVX back into the GH4.

they (and all camera manufactures) should offer a transparent version like OG gameboys

Looks like I might be saving my tax return money for a GH4 and Atomos Ninja or BM Hyperdeck. Recording 10 bit 422 directly to SSD's would be perfect. Focus peaking, zebras, etc, and 96 fps are just icing on the cake. Plus, the potential for 10 bit 4K with nearly 1:1 sampling of the sensor with that heinous looking brick attachment is pretty damn good.

very interested in this. anyone else have any more information or thoughts on why this may be a good or a bad choice. currently have a t4i but have been thinking of switching to something like the gh3 or 7D

 

[JuliusJ]

The rebel series (your t4i) -> 7d isn't an upgrade for video, at all.

 

[CrotchKiller]

yes please

 

[Laurent.]

Only Pentax is mental enough to do that.

 

[CrotchKiller]

you're not ready for an upgrade
