Replacement for Gx7 (with 4k) coming?
I wish, but I think it’s unlikely until at least mid-2015, and maybe later
Apparently 4K heats up the sensor so much that a large heat sink is required to cool it. So that is why there is no IBIS on the GH-4. As the GX-7 has IBIS it seems that a 4K version is not in the cards unless it loses IBIS.
IBIS is inactive when shooting video with the GX7 now, so it stands to reason IBIS wouldn’t work if it could do 4K. 😉
I, for one, would welcome a stills-priority update in the form of a GX8 or G7 with the same ol’ HD for video and a bunch of stills-oriented upgrades, including better IBIS, DfD AF, a faster frame rate, a way to lock the Display setting so it doesn’t keep getting inadvertently changed, and a stills-oriented 4:3 aspect ratio EVF (Please, God, enlighten the moron who put a 16:9 EVF on the GX7!).
(and Auto ISO in M mode!)
Yes!
They should also redesign the GX8 to make it even more rangefinder like. I do like the looks of the LX100.
That’s down only $50 from what I paid for the GX7 kit from B&H a year ago. It’s not that great a deal.
Clicked the link and B&H has it back to $697
The 100 dollar gift card brings the price down you goof.
didn’t see that anywhere, but thank you for being a right-droog. I don’t go for those gift cards and with NY state tax we’re close to $700 again. Not such a deal.
Just buy an extra battery, a fast memory card and a decent camera strap with the gift card.
It’s a pretty tempting price!
Sorry, didn’t realize you were NY State. Out here in Washington we reap the benefits of the no sales tax for B&H.
I will wait for the GX8 and hopefully it has a better EVF and IBIS, the main flaws in the GX7.
Don’t understand how they can be flaws, if they weren’t in the previous version.
Up to pay with the current competition, no. But flawed? I think you’re reaching and trying to downplay the added features of the camera.
How are those “deals”? I think they are silly prices. Way to go down, nano four thurds!
I keep seeing doom and gloom in the future of those greedy, lying companies.
