As you see the GH4 menu system hasn’t been finalized yet. Mark also confirmed the final price will be unveiled in a few weeks.

The GH4 will be a groundbreaking camera and should sell very well.
I also think it’s popularity will really grow once many people realize that you will be able to extract very high IQ stills from the video. That’s the future.
I seriously doubt that’s the future. Have you tried taking a sharp screen grab from a video clip shot with typical shutter speed?
1/50th is not very good for capturing stills without serious motion blur.
Who’s going to shoot hours of video and go through 24 frames for every second to find the best still?
Very few I suspect.
Without internal recording in 4:2:2 I can’t see the GH4 being a big hit.
The Blackmagic 4k camera is so much more capable for not that much more money.
I’m a gh1/2/3 owner btw.
In current specification, yes, 1/50th is not good for capture still. But then it is not uncommon nowadays you have to shoot video and still at the same event, all by yourself. The ability to extract high IQ still from the video provide extra material, which is valuable.
And Blackmagic 4K of course is an amazing camera. But then the work flow and accessories requirement to do a probably shooting is totally difference using GH series.
I’m a GH2/3 owner btw.
Sony is right behind…. waiting… waiting! Otherwise GH4 is mine
Autofocus with F 5.6? pfff.. show us autofocus with 1.4 / 1.8 !
