I'm thinking $2500 is probably about where it will land as well. Seems to be Sony's attempt at a 5DmkIII killer.

Aw man, that blows. Was looking forward to learning the price so I could know whether I'm wasting my time or not.

Thanks for the thoughtful analysis, @HenryO . For the most part I agree with nearly everything you said. Though I do think Sony dropped the ball in one critical area; exporting via HDMI uncompressed 8-bit instead of 10-bit. Had they done that, t…

@balazer then even more of a mistake. We'll see.

I'm anxiously awaiting Sony completely dropping the ball on the pricing of this camera. There's no better way to respond to the hot sales of the GH4 than by releasing a competing camera for (reportedly) double the price. I have my face a…

@EYESOUL Nice footage. Grades nicely! :)

This is kind of cool, though the name is misleading, since it's not strictly Gh4 footage... http://youtu.be/isLmaGVkPlo I asked about which shots were shot with what camera and got the following response: Waves and Moon GH4 House on fire GH2…

Man, it's getting extremely childish in this thread. I personally like to hear all points of view on a camera that I'm considering. I'll then weigh the opinions and make up my own mind. The only thing I don't want to hear is s…

Yeah that rolling shutter jello may be what sends me to the GH4. Need to see a little more though. Shame if Sony releases a camera in 2014 with the same amount of skew as 5D mkII from 5+ years ago. :(

This article has some pretty good info about the A7S... https://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/sony-a7s/sony-a7sA.HTM The part about how the sensor may be able to adapt it's capture capability based on scene contrast / brightness is particula…

I agree with you all on the price. $2K or lower and I'll consider it; above that and I'll pass and go with the GH4 by default. Your move, Sony. ;)

Ha! I would favorite your post, @Ian_T if I could. :) I pretty much agree with everything you said. For me it's really a race between the GH4 and A7S. Of course pricing on A7S could eliminated it if it's ridiculous. In the meantime I…

That's for the clarification, @kholi . I really love the specs on the GH4, but I'm still not 100% sold on the color & latitude. Unfortunately, the camera that I really love for color & latitude is the Blackmagic Cinema camera, wh…

@kholi Wait... what? You said the reason "isn't the artifacting"... So if artifacting isn't the reason, what is?

Wow. If true, this is sad sad news. I was getting ready to pull the trigger and go all m4/3 for both my stills and video kits. Now I will have to rethink that. *Sigh*

Has there been any word as to whether the GH4 has an ETC mode like it's predecessors? Edit: Though I guess if you shoot in 4K mode you can crop for 1080 anyway, so I guess it's not really necessary. Anyway, I'm holding off on preor…

Unless someone releases something better at NAB next month, I think the GH4 will be my next camera. As of the moment nothing comes close to matching features vs. cost.

First indie film: 1.85 or 2.40?
2.40 is typically a "big" movie format, usually used for films that have a large scale (like epic adventure films and sci-fi flicks). 1.85 is a more traditional format used for films that are more intimate. So if your comedy is more on t…

Last I heard it had zero video capabilities. Love the retro styling, though.
