Abstract: The Panasonic Lumix GH4 is a micro four thirds (mirrorless) camera that aims high. It is Panasonic's proposal for those seeking a versatile team that can make work more professional. It focuses especially on the section of the video, is that this camera r...
Abstract: With commercial 4K content still conspicuous by its absence, a solution for UHD TV owners is to make their own. Photographers have long been capturing images in excess of eight megapixels, but the Panasonic GH4 is the first Micro Four Thirds system camera...

Only one SD card slot, No image stabilisation, No GPS (but you can geotag with Image App), No finetuning for auto ISO sensitivity, No auto ISO sensitivity for manual exposure in video mode, Too much smoothing in JPGs, Almost too many options in the interf

Fast in all conditions, 12fps burst mode, silent electronic shutter option, movie mode as good as it gets and will sell the camera alone, fully featured screen and electronic viewfinder, pinpoint and customisable autofocus options
Lacks smooth gradation in images, needs better battery life, some button placement cramped, would like a larger viewfinder, price may seem a lot if you're not here for 4K video, autofocus generalisation in low-light conditions
Throughout our week of using the GH4 we've been very impressed with what it can do. We've found using the vari-angle LCD screen great to shoot over the heads of tourist crowds in sunny Washington, have seen New York non-stop downpours soak the camer...
