    • GH4... Practical Review.
Color: Black Style: Base Set: Base
Housekeeping/Bias/Reviewer History First off, I am most interested in video and short films. I am also into photography, and have shot with Nikons and Canons, but have always preferred Panasonic for video (No record length limit is critical for events). Canon video is nice, owing mainly to sensor size, but I've always felt all the way back to the GH1 that Panasonic video was superior, though I felt the stills capabilities were drastically unimpressive. The GH2 was a massive improvement for video, and a small still upgrade, but still nowhere near a Nikon or Canon. I skipped the GH3 because the video of the GH2 was so good I really didn't see a need to upgrade. I've been missing a good stills camera, and though I have always preferred Nikon, their late tendency to increase MP size has left me incredibly unimpressed with ISO performance. Canon's tendency to keep MP constant with new generations of sensors is REALLY attractive, because that means the ISO performance and noise is getting better (One can either make smaller pixels with less sensitivity or keep the pixel count steady and increase the sensitivity). I was set to buy a Canon 6D when I heard rumblings of the GH4. I waited, and everything seemed to be pointing to leaps and bounds in performance... new engine, same MP count, etc. I'm VERY glad I did. The Body/Control Layout Having not had a GH3, I'm not sure of the changes, but over the GH2, it's an incredible difference. It IS a little larger, in all three dimensions, but the weight is not noticeable. It's noted as "splashproof"... a claim I have no intention of testing, but I do like the ergonomics better. One of the BEST improvements of the GH4 is the layouts. I'm used to having buttons (from the Pro Nikon and Canon worlds), but on the GH1 and 2, there was only one forward dial, and it required a button push to switch from SS to A settings. This is remedied. There is a FORWARD dial, a REAR dial and an additional wheel dial on the control pad by the LCD. There are BUTTONS for ISO, WB, Exposure Compensation. While these might sound like non-issues, The control layout is EXCELLENT. I recently had to shoot with a Nikon D5200 and I couldn't believe how piss-poor the layout was for the dials. OOPS, DIAL, singular. It made the shooting experience miserable and I couldn't believe THIS was a NIKON and how far the mighty had fallen. I was shocked at having pulled the GH4 out and shot a few simple test pictures. The quality of the stills are a massive improvement over the 1 and 2... does it compete with a Canon 6D? Doubtful, but they are good enough I'm not worrying about getting a 6D anymore... The LCD Much has been made of Panasonic DOUBLING the resolution of the LCD. It seem like a small thing, but it really is a gorgeous screen. When you add in some of the touch features and how responsive they are, I no longer miss having a through the lens system instead of an LCD viewfinder. I HATED it in the GH1 and 2, and was a major reason I despised the Pannies for stills. The touchscreen functionality is incredibly responsive too, and when you are in focus, you are IN focus... it's razor sharp and the additional features really take advantage. Video Wow. I haven't tried 4K, but let's be absolutely clear about this: VFR is CLEARLY going to become an overused function in the future. Why? Because it is GORGEOUS in this camera. GORGEOUS. Here are the breakdowns of available modes: AVCHD: 24Mbit/30p: 2, 15, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 45, 60 24Mbit/24p: 2, 12, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 36, 48, 60 MP4 or MOV: 100Mbit/30p: 2, 15, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 45, 60, 75, 90, 96 100Mbit/24p: 2, 12, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, !!!96!!! Personally, I do not understand why anyone would choose to shoot in anything but 24fps... but I am a filmmaker at heart. I don't shoot sports. I want everything to look as much like a film as possible. Having said that, following the 180shutter rule as closely as you can and shooting in 96fps MP424fps is GLORIOUS. What's more is the fact that it is instantaneous. You set the VFR, you record the footage (it will tell you "25%" on the viewfinder), you hit record, you stop recording, you hit play and you get to see unbelievably high quality sharp, full 1080 HD slow motion. It's incredible. Slower Frame Rates (Time Lapse) will require some time to compose the image, but Slow Motion is instant, Crisp, Fluid, and incredibly impressive. The rest of the video is also improved. It's actually mindblowing how good it looks, but the VFR is reason enough to buy this camera. It's a gamechanger for anyone who shoots anything. This is the NUMBER ONE reason to buy this camera, I'd argue a bigger advance than the 4K. As impressive as the ability to shoot 4K is, there are other cameras on the market (albeit at a higher price point) that shoot 4K. Slow motion of this quality is an incredibly useful tool. Note that you can't use the VFR in the 200Mbit settings. This is not even approaching the reasonable limits of a downside. 100Mbit at this quality is incredible. Tools There are a variety of features that deeply improve the shooting experience. Focus peaking is brilliantly used, and it also makes the LCD sharpness that much more apparent. Zebra Levels are also available in all modes. Hitting the display button will toggle through modes of the LCD, including a built in tilt and level sensor. Manual focus assist is also massively improved, allowing you to select the size of the magnified area and where it appears on screen. Working in concert with the focus peaking makes manual shooting like I prefer top notch. The modes and ability of the AutoFocus is also impressive, but like 4K is so over-reviewed that I do not wish to beat that particular horse. The AF is great, but the takeaway is that the MF features are equally improved. Additionally, there are options for Luminance, Pedestal, SS -> Shutter Angle, CineD (Increased Dynamic Range) and CineV (Increased contrast), and a lot of other settings that I'm just not going to cover at this point. The larger point behind it is what's critical: There have been MASSIVE upgrades to the ability to tweak your video, and it's a very capable and impressive piece of hardware. Batteries This is an oversight to a lot of people/companies, but this vital to people like me. I am used to having to buy AC adapters and power couplers to shoot events, as with the GH1 and 2 you couldn't feel too confident after an hour... but last night I shot a band with a GH1, 2 gh2's and my GH4. I was unable to procure an AC10 adapter for the GH4. After shooting 2 hours and 44 minutes without stop, I noticed the battery level indicator still had 3 bars. I had bought Third Party batteries (Wasabi BTR-BLF19-JWP) beforehand to have spares, and figured the power level indication just didn't work. I paused the recording between songs and started immediately again, figuring I'd rather not lose it all if the battery suddenly died. I recorded an additional 48 minutes and still had 3 bars. I went to a pizza place and was recording some stuff for slomo and low light and after 20 minutes of that, the battery dropped to 2 bars. I was SHOCKED. So apparently, you can shoot roughly FOUR HOURS before the battery drops a SINGLE bar. This makes me want to sell every other camera I own and buy several of these. I never have to look for another outlet to shoot events or long time lapse shots (which can now also be done in camera). The Memory Cards I am shooting with the Sandisk 95MB/s ExtremePro's. I have not shot 4K yet, but have shot a good bit of MP4 (24fps, 100 Mbit) and have had NO issues, even running at 96fps. 4K may be the decider, but if you are shooting HD this seems to be a non-issue. Wifi Too? Yep. If you have an android or iPhone, the camera has an app that works incredibly well... so if you want to shoot from a crane or bucket truck or remote control vehicle, you can, and retain recording control as well as focus. Wonderful addition. Overall. It's simple. It's as if the Wright brothers got done with the flight at Kitty Hawk, went back to the drawing board, and rolled out a P51 Mustang 3 years later. It's difficult to overstate the difference in value this camera represents over previous versions, which were themselves great values for the video capabilities. It's as if Chevy decided to give free upgrades on Cobalts to Corvettes. ... show more

Expectations high. Results good. Once again, this is not a still camera regardless of how well Panasonic can lead you to believe. Low levels? Okay. 4k? Well it is 4k! Wish I could do frame rates in 4k but you cannot. Once again the one thing I loathe about the GH3 has been made worst in the GH4. Crop factor. Now the factor (in 4k) is around 2.5. Hate it. I am losing real estate big time. Yesterday in my parents small living room, I was cramped with a 17mm lens, having my back against the wall and could not get the family shot at the angle desired; the shot was re-framed with me now shooting from another room through the door. Sucks. Next week I have a shoot and shall figure out the work flow and SD card situation. No external recorder is planed at that shoot. Update. On a indi feature. 4k: Excellent Peak focus: Sucks Micro HMDI connections: Sucks, sucks and sucks some more. Crop factor: Killlllllllllllllllllllllllllling me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Low light levels: Not Good. SD card: Downloads very quickly. Excellent. Overall: 7 out of 10 August 12: Update Please read the previous update. It still applies. Battery life: Excellent. This is a killer battery. Battery Grip added: Shot all day without changing batteries. Great! The tripod female on the grip is off set and messed up our camera rig. We purchased an adapter at B&H that restored the hole back to the center. Camera was placed back on the rig..............problems. With the grip and adapter plate, we can see the camera lift every time we use the follow focus. This slight uplift was not noticed by anyone but the editor. Sucks! We removed the grip and adapter. Money wasted but again. One other note: Using this camera on a rig is a prodigious task because of lining up the lenses with the follow focus. Too many issues to list. Crop factor: Sucks on interior setups. Can work for you on exterior shots with the long reach of the lens but once outside the image looks like a video camera. Everything is in focus. Example: Voigtlaender 17.5mm T0.9 the savior of all lenses for MFT system. Well not really. Lens is great. No, the Voigt lens is fantastic; but below F2 not for use and at F2 that equals F4 in depth of field. As you can see on a 17.5 (around 40mm) that is a lot of DOF. This for me is huge, huge, huge problem. OH.........metabones speed booster? We tried on with the Canon FD24mm F1.4 and saw image loss. The Metabones less image was shaper and therefore we did not buy the booster. Work flow is great and one Scandisk Extreme Pro 280mbs / 64GB card lasted all day. Downloading took fewer than one hour. That f&^&*(g micro HDMI. What a piece of S&*(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We put silly putty around it to hold it in place. So, so. Must get the new portlock for this crap; I believe once you put the interface on, you are good but for us it was three week of hell with that micro connector. Every thing else was great. 4k is sharp as anything I've seem and that includes the RED Epic at 5K. This camera is a 9 out of 10 where the RED Epic and Arri Alexa would get a 10 out of 10. The GH4 is really good. If you ever needed to switch, this is the switch. Would I shoot another feature on it? Not sure. That crop factor killed me. Killed me big time. ... show more
