OMG – I am blown away by the incredibly beautiful moving imagery coming from the GH4!!!!!
I watched Panasonic’s New Zealand Video @ 4K on a MBP 15″ Retina screen and have never seen more beautiful imagery. Kudos also to Emeric for his exquisite Paris video!!
Having been a camera fiend for 42 years I have never seen nor even imagined any camera so capable, so perfect for me. The most beautiful, subtle, rich colors, astounding detail and clarity ….. my limited vocabulary is inadequate to express my desire for the Panasonic GH4.
I would buy this camera even if I were financially broke.
Makes me homesick (I’m a Kiwi, living in Asia).
… and those are not even the most beautiful parts of NZ 😉
This movie is a quick reminder of the pollution problem in Paris. Smog. This camera describe smog very well
The GH4 would reveal a flea inside the smog.
Can anyone explain the point of 4K on YouTube or Vimeo might as well have been a smartphone..
4 K can only be appreciated on a large s Rees or very/very hi res monitor and for most purposes is overkill, just gets more hype and camera sales.
If we have to explain this to you, you wouldn’t understand.
Yes, poor ignorant….
SD! Don’t forget to have ‘Samuel’ or one of your other names vote up this comment you did below. See you around buddy.
So you also don’t understand the benefit of 4K?
I don’t shoot video so I don’t care, You should explain it to those that do care, but we both know you won’t (or can’t). Why aren’t you using the registered Samuel name? Don’t slip back into the shadows again…
Actually, if you’ve watched a lot of video online, the quality of 4K compressed for 1080 delivery vs. native 1080 delivery is, in almost all cases, quite striking. There are many examples of this. Try it with the GH4 itself. The Gordon Laing review had many examples of both 4K and 1080p.
What if you shoot a camera that interpolates the lines instead of skipping them? Then you would not see a difference between 4K and 1080p right? Or not?
Love the Panasonic’s New Zealand 4K video. Truly epic. Thanks
It is good to see that people are enjoying the video output of the GH4 and maybe realise now why filmmakers and videographers were so excited when they heard about the specs of this camera. It’s currently in a class of it’s own.
Even 4k resampled to 1080, noise is too visible in dark areas. And jpg compression too.
Half cooking camera :(, great in some areas, very very poor in rest.
Maybe GH5 will be a decent choice.
You could tell us what is good under $2K.
He must’ve ran off, because there’s no such thing, but the GH4. clearly he’s upset.
Nothing at all, because you still need rigs, lights etc, which will set you back a few grands. And the gyroscope for helicopter shots, too. This is pointless.
I agree that image noise is fairly noticeable when shooting in lower light conditions, but in good light it’s pretty much invisible for the full tonal range. I think most of this image noise could be removed with a good de-noiser like NeatVideo.
Right now there’s nothing in the same price range that can produce images like this, so it really looks like the GH4 is going to be “the” camera for summer of 2014.
Can’t wait until we start to see more 10-bit 4:2:2 footage shot with the GH4, as the 8-bit internal footage is pretty striking under the right conditions.
Movies have noise. but who cares.
@ corin: if you are refferring to the Paris video it must be said that the most remarkable observation is the surprising lack of lens flare in many of the shots (not all of them). When pointing the cam directly towards the sun it will be unavoidalbe to have some really dark areas – I would agree that the (remarkable) dynamic range of the GH4 cannot perfectly cope with that. Not sure which other cam would show no noise. A filter, however, could probaly solve the problem.
Panasonic GH4 available NOW at Samy’s Camera and Kenmore Camera. $1699.
