Before than expected…. 😀
Will Pana redeem from GH2’s fiasco?
Including UK pricing?
The only good thing about this that, in conjunction with the A7R and A7, it will help start the process of pushing down the EM-1 price.
I have to shake my head and laugh at the GH4. A video camera shaped like a camera.
It is shaped like a camera to give the illusion that it also works like a camera. Never mind the reviews, it doesn’t take stills…
Its a hybrid camera ideal for the changing demands of photography and videography…
Hopefully they did it!!!!! Shake your head as much as you want!!!!
How about the Canon 1D C 4K camera that has a useless OVF instead of EVF and cost $12K ! Or the BMC 4K camera that looks like a toaster or a Mac Mini with lens sticking out of it.
If this gives you a laugh, wait till you purchase your next E-M2 or E-M3. Should be a laugh riot watching you pay the up-charge for Oly’s fierce R&D struggle to play catch-up with Panasonic’s video.
The GH4 (like it’s predecessor the GH3), will will take outstanding photos and video and at a price $$Thousands$$ below the “competition”.
Embrace change. It is coming.
Hope UK pricing is below £1700 =)
Wow, what a big device around such a tiny sensor.
Are we talking cameras here???
FYI pro videocameras used to be much bigger with even smaller sensors. To the video side the 4/3 sensor is not a problem, but the solution! But of course you know nothing about this. On the photo side I’m sure it will take excellent stills, but of course you know nothing about this too.
What a big mouth with such a tiny brain!
Big device, tiny sensor?? You really want to go there?

Here is the problem with comparing large devices and censors to m4/3 cameras. And that doesn’t include a bag of heavy lenses and an extra body. It’s like General Motors trying to sell banana-boat 1975 Olds 98 Regency in todays market.

Rick, did you take this picture yourself? You are improving.
“Jesse”, dungbrain, those lenses are not equivalent. You need to put a F5.6 lens on the Canon to compare apples to apples. You also need to take the 6D, not the 1DX.
Are you ignorant and slow, and yet you want to teach us something anyway? Or you lie on purpose? Either way, you are not welcome here.
The MASSIVE Canon EOS 1D priced at $12,000 at B&H, (body only) is a perfect comparison to the GH4 (priced at $1700, body only) at B&H. Both are considered to be “flag ship” 4K video machines.
The Canon EF 24-70mm zoom is another perfect comparison since the pictured GH4 has an equivalent lens mounted. Canon EF 24-70mm 2.8 is priced at $2300 at (B&H), the Lumix equivalent lens 12-35mm lens is priced about $1100. (everywhere)
The Canon EOS 1D is a HUGE camera priced 7 times higher than the GH4. The MASSIVE 24-70 EF lens is priced more than double the price of the equivalent Lumix 12-35mm zoom.
I guess I don’t need all that BULK and don’t have the money to piss away that you do.
Those lenses are not equivalent. Stop spreading bullshit, it’s no good for the forum dungwits.
You seem to hate the user community here and hold them in obvious contempt. . . . your constant name-calling etc. BTW, You seem to be the dimmest wit on the forum! Just sayin’.
I checked Jesse N’s prices quoted here and they are accurate. It seems that you are the one spreading B.S.
Meet our resident FF Troll. He just can’t stand to see his FF idol de-pantsed by m4/3.
These minisensor dumbos want to promote their products, or they will lose their jobs. What do physics laws matter to them?
No comparison between Canon 6d and GH4. The Canon 6d isn’t 4k video.
A cheerful lot of correspondents this morning it seems.
I think the GH4 looks like a great camera for both stills and video. For me, the extensive video features would go relatively unused, so I look forward to the G7 no doubt coming down the track as my camera body for bigger lenses. The G7 It is likely to be lighter and less expensive, with the same sensor that evens the playing ground between formats except for the largest sized prints.
When is it coming, admin?
no mention of the panaleica 15mm?
Man. I really hoped this would be (a little) cheaper. I was pining for $1499. Oh well!
“Be sure to be online tomorrow morning on 43rumors. I will give you all preorder links”
Perhaps it would be appropriate to disclose that these are affiliate links. There’s nothing wrong with that, but then there’s nothing wrong with being open and transparent about it either.
I would be surprised if regular 43rumors readers didn’t realise they were affiliate links and admin usually posts a note with those kind of announcements.
A video camera shaped and priced like a large still camera, with inferior technique – at least for stills.
Let me think… No thanx, you can keep it.
You are a LIAR. You do not speak for me. I WILL buy the GH4 as soon as it becomes available to me.
For the record: I think the GH4 will eat into large format sales and the (FF) community will now be forced to PAY the “Panasonic Tribute” . . . R&D Megabucks to finally develop decent consumer video, ( Whilst trying to sell their “competitive cameras” for Thousands $$$ more than a “modern camera”. Full Frame camera’s are quickly becoming bloated, over priced dinosaurs, that’s YOUR problem.
What I WON”T ever do is purchase another DSLR. But the GH4 is the camera I have waited for.
Get a life. You’ll feel better about yourself and maybe even find the courage to stand behind your own posts instead of cowering behind MY NAME and contrivances of other’s names. Ask yourself: ” How many of these m4/3 users TROLL FFreak forums and spew LIES & disinformation at everyone who enjoys HUGE Hulking cameras”?
Yet without such noxious vomiting you don’t appear to have a life.
I am sorry for poor Becky. If I was in her place, you’d have a M43-sized a-hole, she must be really patient.
I don’t know who you are referring to but it’s nothing new for a punk, and a pecker-head.
The stink-wads spewing from your mouth like diarrhea are constant, stinking drivel, evidence of low IQ, beneath the dignity of the adults on this forum and the worst salesmanship of FF (that’s F**kFreak) cameras which has been tried thus far.
Ricky Ricky, will you ever learn some manners?
Not when talking to dogs.
Woof!
Like I said “dogs”.
BTW, I believe you meant to say “yap, yap, yap, yap, yip-yap, yap yip-yap, Chihuahua style?
I like this web site – in theory. In practice it must be the most negative and disfunctional one I have ever visited. It seems to be open season for every kind of personal attack, some having little to do with cameras. So I visit much less often than I used to.
The link normally on the side bar for submitting news and rumors doesn’t seem to be there today, so I thought I’d mention it here. The GH4 is also now available in Canada for preorder at Henry’s, for the same price as at Vistek.
