Our testing of the 4K video was restricted to shooting and editing in Final Cut Pro X, which handles 4K input and renders the output to 1080 HD. Results are the best we have seen from a still camera partly, we suspect, because the camera sets a flatter, l
The constant movement of the critical singlepoint focus spot is extremely annoying. It seems unnecessarily big and heavy
The Panasonic GH4 is an impressive piece of gear. We had the opportunity to see some professionally shot video, displayed on ultra high definition monitors, in Japan earlier this year. It was breathtaking. The GH4 brings a new, higher quality video possib...

Abstract: Rather than any one thing in particular, a number of features make the DMC-GH4 a standout, but not the least is the fact that it has 4K video shooting capability. This is the first camera of its type at this time...

Panasonic has not announced the price or the availability date of the GH4 and its Interface Unit, but we can assume that the new camera will retail for a figure that's reasonably comparable with the list price of the GH3 (US$1,299.99/£1,549/around AU$1,2...
