Panasonic GH4 24p C4K ‘Cine-D Profile’ Skintone Quickie test from Nick Driftwood on Vimeo.
We are seeing more and more GH4 tests! Nick Driftwood just uploaded this GH4 video on vimeo. It’s a first in a long series of tests. Nick recommends: “Please download the 4K file version for 4K representation as Vimeos transcoding and downsampling is pretty $%^&!” Follow the discussion at Personal View (It’s where Nick comments the GH4).
Panasonic GH1 4K vs 1080p and EOSHD shootout with other cameras from Andrew Reid on Vimeo.
And Andrew from EosHD posted the shootout video and the Gh4 simply delivers impressive video quality:
The 4K video output from the GH4 is easily a match for the 16MP stills. So we can say with certainty that this camera produces video ‘like moving stills’. That it does so for $1699 compared to $12,000 gives you an idea of how much Canon’s stronger brand is worth.
Quite amazing!
P.S.: The Gh4 preorders at Amazon are still good and the camera holds the position around place 22th (Click here to see full ranking).

“Panasonic GH1 4K”?
Wow!
I didn’t realize the Driftwood Config-Set for ptool3 (usually called “Driftwood patch”) was able to increase the video resolution of the old GH1!
I’m no videographer, but even the stills extracted from 4K video look impressive.
The video looks really great even though i’m not able to view them full resolution on my 2560×1440 screen.
GH4 rocks! I will buy two body’s instantly when they are available in my country :).
GH4 looks incredible by comparison in the EOSHD test. One of those things that’s nakedly obvious with a half second glance.
Then again, sharpness is just one part of the equation. Dynamic range, low light, etc, all still need to be tested. EOSHD is great and will run the tests, I’m sure.
Excited for my GH4!
Have there been any reviews of how the “defocus” stuff has improved C-AF? Is it up to E-m1 standards?
Check out this video (at 2:20):

Oh. Sorry. You meant C-AF. But at least S-AF seems to be quite fast ^^.
Great filmic footage on this test. Btw, what lens did you use for it?
It´s written in the descrioption of the 1st video (and it´s shown at the beginning of the 2nd video). 1st one -> Panasonic 35-100mm and 2nd one (the comparison) -> Sigma 18-35mm with SpeedBooster.
Maybe it’s better to look at this video from Andrew, the quality on a HD TV is awesome :

The EOSHD “test” is BS. Up scaling 1080p (a 2 mp image) to 4k (a 8mp image) is going to turn it to mush. Downscale the GH4 to 1080p to compare, especially DR and noise when lifting shadows. It likely won’t top 5d3 raw, but it still looks fantastic.
The driftwood footage looks great, nice skin tones and hat hat should be a sea of moire, but it isn’t.
I have one on order to replace the PITA blackmagic pocket.
Native 4K rushes of GH4 to download.

What TV is that orange thing? I know its not GH4 related haha but that’s a cool retro looking thing:) I want one! I think I must have seen those somewhere in the 80s growing up.
