The GH4 is currently being shown at Kenmore Camera grand opening event this weekend (Facebook).
We saw plenty of videos shot with the GH4 but not so many image samples. A couple of new full size images have now been posted by Wasabi Bob on Flickr (Click here). He had the pleasure to test a preproduction camera. The shots were taken with the Panasonic 35-100 lens and the [shoplink 44864 ebay]Kenko extension tubes[/shoplink].
P.S.: Still no preorder option at Amazon and BHphoto pages.

Catching up with the Sony Xperia Z2 for 4k recording

I think this is the first ever footage we’ve seen shot by an “Average Joe”, and not a carefully released and PR managed clip via Panasonic.
Electronic mush on floor when camera moves, in the 379MB version. You think the 200Mbps 1080 would be better for this kind of scene?
Youtube always looks like that. Dull and unimpressive.
Vimeo is much better in that regard.
Vimeo doesn’t play nicely with android, doesn’t play sound on pc’s and usually only plays at 720. You don’t see mush because it’s all blur. I hate Vimeo passionately.
My point is that the “mush” you seeing is because of YouTube’s compression.
Regardless of the bitrate…Youtube re-encodes the video(to a very low bitrate). It won’t make ANY difference if you’ll record it in 200Mbit in the first place.
I don’t see that mush on the Sony 4k handycam vid. This is 4k in size. The bigger it is the better compression works. I also don’t see this mush elsewhere.
Of course Vimeo plays sound on a PC! (Perhaps not on your PC, in which case you should fix it!)
Dull and unimpressive…
Marques Brownlee shoots on a Canon C-100, for some odd reason, and his footage looks VERY good. Of course, there’s not much movement in them, but yeah. It doesn’t take a $6,000 camera to do that, but not ALL YouTube videos are crush to hell. Just sayin’.
As for Vimeo, my last big problem with them, besides not being really suited for serial content (shows rather than films), is that they don’t let views pick the resolution in embeds. My laptop is too weak to playback 1080p video without a hitch, and Vimeo won’t let me drop to 720p, so I can’t watch those videos in HD at all.
Thank you David Peterson for the videos, the one on 4K resolutions, when it is not shaking or focusing is extremely sharp and good!
The same autofocus issues like GH3…
What issues?
not smooth transition like canon 70d
I have both and haven’t found that to be an issue.
if panasonic say fast and perfect autofocus they must provide it, autofocus in gh3 is not stable, any second it can hunt or focus wrong. I have 12-35 lens, many time in wide-angle autofocus is not stable and is hunting so I don’t use it, In GH2 is better, a little bit slower but smoother. For home video it’s ok autofocus not for weddings for ex. check 1:38-1:40 to understand what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4V72siqmB4
12-35 look small with an GH4
What are those artifacts? Are they from the camera or from the excessive post processing?
By the way, a compact with a couple of controls is enough for *those* pics.
Yeah I also noticed, some look mushy and some look like “made out” pixels.
True, it must be that tiny sensor, no surprise there.
oh god. to the posters below; stop yer crying “boo hoo its not a full sensor”.
sound like a couple of teenage fanbois.
just because you invested way too much money into a cankon system that costs and weighs too much not to mention is seeing almost zero advancement in technological advancement, doesnt mean your argument has any merit
OneQuarterSensor, what did you expect on this website? do you even know where you are right now? (you absolute twat)
