Personal View posted a short Q/A sesssion with Panasonic. Threse are some of the answers Panasonic gave:
1) It is hard to add new recording formats (ProRes or RAW) via firmware update. The capability of GH4 codec engine does not guarantee the process of those recording formats.
2) There is no way to add 4K recording on the current G6 camera.
3) About the future products: We will not focus on the premium segment only (Editor’s note: Does it mean new GF and G are coming in 2015?)

Meaningless responses like we can expect from many Japanese companies. They do seem to listen to us (many things asked for have been addressed in the GH4 for instance). Questions asked had no depth, only body/film related.
when someone asked for an updated version of the G6 (which would be a G7) the answer is that the CURRENT G6 does not allow for such updates…..Sighh….
And of course not a single question about lenses….Don’t even read,complete waste of time.
It is all coded CEO diplomacy for : “we do not want to divulge right now”
First the Sony…and now this…
I guess this is the “I am going to post lots of stuff that has nothing to do with Micro Four Thirds on the site day!!!! LOL!
Think the manufactures run deep and blody in the 4k-trapp.
i am the user, nots asked for that. You see on normal big 4k-TVs
how fast the price from 4500,-$ falls in 5 months to 700…and after
the glory christmass sales-the cold icy wind blows till the big big show
of CES 2015 starts. And this is the dillema, better the golden age for
me THE CUSTOMER. ( see in the sony r7s mk1 mk2 mk3 mk..5 show, that
goes now in 3 mont steps = i step out 1, 2, 3 and first in 5 i think a bit…)
Panasonic always has the gh-2 / G3 gh-3 / G5..G6 now GH-4 and we all
wait for the looooooooooooooooooooong awaitet low expensive 599,-$
G7-4k-CAMERA.. the manevoerios was a 1`zuppazuuuum and the too
expensive glorius 4/3 lx-100 ( in 2 weeks lx-100 mk 2 is coming!!!).nice.
And they think I will buy all 5 mONTHS a CAMERA!!
DO THEY HAVE 1000 KILOS of DOGSHIT in the HEAD?
I BUY NOTHING 2014, because 2015 is coming, and yet, the bullshitgame
will restart, maybe somebody like Bloatware-maker SAMSUNG jokes this and
spinns the NX-1 specs out to next NX-400 4k and all for 400-500$ startprice.
( 3months later you get the deadmans dream for exact 349,90,- = YEAH)
i do not buy siomething because a marketingashole says his shitti nonsens.
not me..so waht?
and second we have 10 trillion build “SOOOOO GOOOOOD” GH-3 and
all the god sonys—forn appl and egg- nonothing. nothing.
best for all would be a total collapse of this idiots…
straightjackets should come with ball gags…
Just give the GH4 a flat film-log picture-profile, for God’s sake!
Agree!
By the way, why do they put that Leica 2.8-4.0/14-50 zoom on the advertizement, if not in an imaginary roadmap?
