So kandinsky & Bamboo, are you buying when it arrives here ?
Panasonic GH4K
- Thread starter daniyal
- Start date
Nope, maybe 1-2 years after it launches.
I need a new editing rig more than I need a new camera. ;p

I'm almost certain to upgrade but only after NAB just in case something irresistably better comes along.

Call me crazy but if Sony comes up with a 4K VG40, it will be VGX0 vs GHX all over again!
The fight of the form factor so far
2011: VG20 vs GH2
2013: VG30 vs GH3
GH4's codec should be unbeatable but the YAGH and external power requirement is cumbersome for audio work.
I much prefer sony's multi interface hotshoe design and their XLR module is much cheaper.
But fast E-mount primes are few and far in between.
After fleeting between GH2 and VG20 for 2 years, I'm hoping to finally settle on just one native lens system.
Hopefully 2014 is the time. If not, I'll switch to just a set of cine primes and keep auditioning new cameras.

Damn it man ... Just give me a cheaper Canon C100 ... I really want the XLR audio which is inbuilt + the ND Filter + Simple SD storage (no need funny new cards that cost $200) ...
C100's Full HD looks much better than any FullHD in the market anyways so i don't need to go 4k as yet.

Hahahaha.. Totally.. if your editing rig can't keep up with the 4K also no point buying a 4K camera.. LOL
Haha. Yeah, dangerous to be watching these...
Here's one that's not really a review, but does cover some very interesting points:

Should be looking out for this instead of just the GH4.

How the GH4 stands up against the Alexa.

I don't think this is a very good test though.
