EOSHD GH4 vs GH3 rolling shutter train test from Andrew Reid on Vimeo.
We have a couple of new GH4 tests:
Panasonic GH4 Slow-mo at 96fps and 4K rolling shutter test at EosHD:
Panasonic have made great efforts to speed up the sensor in the GH4 so in slow-mo at 96p and standard 1080/60/50p the GH4 has less rolling shutter than the GH3 thanks to a 50% faster sensor readout.
In 4K mode the sensor has to readout 4x the amount of data than in 1080p and the 50% increase in readout speed isn’t enough to compensate.
The result is that in 4K the GH4 has slightly worse rolling shutter than the GH3 in 1080p.
Focus Numerique (google translation here) tested the GH4 High ISO quality:
On the 100-800 ISO range, the images of GH4 are superb with a nice dynamic and bold colors. Only at ISO 800 the finer details (100% on-screen display) are slightly faded. Nothing so dramatic. At 3200 ISO, the GH4 provides the first signs of weakness with greater noise and greater detail and dynamics loss. Again, the images are usable, but beyond this sensitivity, the damage will be greater.

If anyone notices the difference in your film/doco/video clip, then you’ve failed your audience anyway.
Do a real shutter test, and whip pan the camera.
Andrew Reid = knowall………….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
these tests are not new ! they have been done 2 weeks ago or more !
Will they implement global shutter and let us forget that nightmare?
When the cost of the sensor alone doesn’t approach or exceed the cost of the current camera body, I would imagine.
YES!
IN THE 19.000,- Panasonic 35 Cinecam.
Aja Cam starts from 9000,-
some others…..
and also 10 bit and and…the industrie goes so fast as the win-win-situation for
industrie is $$$$$$$$$. so if mikiblueys think mother theresa will bring the
ultimate poormas gun….wake me up…and second… learn to work with this.
3th. a pan with a 4k cam is a other thrill than with a full-hd.
and a train…a hero in japanese train-movies…..
Did you knock your head in the cradle?
Yes, for the price the GH4 does a lot, but it’s not near perfect and if we want to pay for a real camera that doesn’t have the problem, we’ll need much more money.
Hiro, don’t be a hero…
