    On the Atomos website the Shogun is said to record only UHD 3840×2160, not C4k 4096×2160. Does it mean we wont be able to record externally true 24p c4k? BTW can the HDMI-out even be set to output UHD? (I though it was only outputing c4k)

    Re: B&H, I just spoke with an agent who confirmed they are in stock and are trying to get them out for delivery this afternoon. By tomorrow at the latest. Woo-hoo!

    FYI: I'm shocked and with a dash of denial. Ordered a GH4 from B & H last Friday. Over the weekend the status of the purchase has been... "On Order". Noticed about an hour ago the status has changed form "On Order" to "In stock, order sent to warehouse." Web site now says the item is in stock. I'm amazed and pleased.

    Awesome !

    The camera itself is VERY NICE ! The body seems to be Identical to the GH3 with exception of the locking button, a better feel in the grip, and larger eye piece. -if anyone has any links to hdmi micro 4k cables (I need a 90 angle on the micro side), I would be very thankful:)

    Camera fits in a Nauticam GH3 hosing with a little mod. It seems that Nauticam will sell sooner a mod kit.

    Jello is still fairly pronounced in this handheld footage. Is this using an ois lens?

    Skin tones look very organic.

    On this 'Chip' test it seems the guy forgot to turn the OIS on... too much shaky... (2:26)

    German computer magazine "Chip" posted a pretty comprehensive Panasonic Lumix GH4 vs. Sony FDR-AX100E comparison test video.

    (For the non German speaking: They attest both cameras overall good results and usability. Amongst the detail Pro's and Con's they name a weaker image stabilization for video in the GH4 and the much lower bitrate the AX100 records for 4k. And they mention that despite the much lower bitrate the AX100 records, it refused to record 4k material on some ordinary, fast SDXC cards - which the GH4 had happily recorded to - so Sony had to send them a "special" SDXC card of their own for testing the 4k recording.)

    Fun fact: Dealers react on the frequent (but yet unsuccessful) searches for "Panasonic GH4" on the European Amazon web sites, and try to promote not-really-GH4-products by naming them alike - see this absurd example (advertising a cleaning cloth). :-)

    My mistake @karl, must've missed that patch link in your original post... thanks for the heads-up!

    Damn! The photofest completely passed me by. I am in Limerick and my university's photographic society paid for us to go there last year and I would have loved to go again.

  • driftwooddriftwood

    Anyone living in or around Dublin - get down to the Photofest Show there today to check out the GH4.

    I'm so glad to see the moire test from the comparison footage on the last page. If you look at the last shot there, the moire on the palm is clearly a problem for the other cameras aside from GH4. My GH3 (which I sold last week) just bit me too many times.

    @Tron: Are you sure you used the most current version and the "camconst00.patch" I mentioned above? The observation you describe sounds like what an older and unpatched version would do...

  • ycandauycandau

    I am curious about the GH4s available through Personal View. What type of warranty would they come with? In my case specifically would they be covered in Canada? Apologies if this has already been answered previously.
