GH5 Panasonic camera, from anticipation to love or hate
If Panasonic is watching this feed. Would love to be a Beta tester. I am a current GH4 owner/user. I still have my GH2. Started on an HVX-200. Currently rent the Varicam for my bigger projects, if loyalty counts for anything.

GH4 — Use iPhone as wireless monitor
Dude this kicks ass! I hope all this work will translate to the GH5 easily when that camera drops, cuz this is the most convenient thing ever.

GH4 4K Panasonic video camera, official topic
I just got off a commercial shoot where we used the GH4 as A-Cam. I for got how much I liked the look of this camera with Canon FD glass. Will post the commercial once it's done!

@aaronchicago thats what I was trying to say sorry if my comment was confusing. Asking for HDMI on a pro product doesn't make much sense, and would be a waste of space on the limited camera real estate.

@truestory i think that is a silly thing to say. 1. This camera is playing to professionals, who use sdi. 2. Sdi to hdmi converters go for literally $20-50

Atomos Ninja Assassin, HDMI only 4K 10bit recorder
As far as I can tell just my GH4, as you can imagine I wasn't eager to try it out on any of my other cameras. The camera is still functioning, but the HDMI is toast :/ so I will need to send it in to get the HDMI fixed. I am still waiting to he…

Atomos Ninja Assassin, HDMI only 4K 10bit recorder
I rented one of these for a small music video shoot I had this week. When I connected the HDMI from the Assassin into my GH4, it started to smoke and burnt out the HDMI in my GH4. This was pretty upsetting, as I have never had this problem before us…

GH4 Firmware 2.3, V-log for $99, Epic Panasonic marketing fail
This is exciting news. It would be awesome if you could post a few more samples, even some raw ones would be great. I am trying to decide between getting an Assassin, or the Video Assist. I am really curious in comparing the 4k into a 1080 recorder.

Blackmagic Video Assist - FullHD 5" monitor with ProRes and DNxHD recorder, $395 now
This isn't in the same vein as Pix-e5. They aren't meant to compete with eachother. This isn't a 4k recorder, but rather a 1080p recorder. Compare it to a Ninja 2, thats its competition. I agree SD cards is it's biggest selling p…

@aaronchicago i would be interested to see more examples when you get a chance. I actually couldn't see banding in the image you shared, but a huge macroblock on the right side. If you could film a lightbulb against a midrange wall that would …

@aaronchicago cool. The blackmagic video assist was released today. I am curious to see how the UHD to 1080p quality is...

@aaronchicago have you gotten your ninja blade yet? If so how do you like it? Is there an improvement?

This is a experimental film I made over the weekend, I didn't get to shoot it. But it was shot exclusively on the GH4 V-Log 8bit. Colored it in about 15 minutes with an extreme grade. I am really digging the skin tone this camera puts out. Stil…

According to the specs on BH the URSA mini should fit on this... am I nuts?

@aaronchicago agreed! I colored a feature earlier this year that shot on alexa, and the look is so similar its hard to believe. Let us know how you like the ninja star. I am thinking of doing the same thing!

My view is evolving in regards to V-Log. There is a learning curve when exposing with this camera, but you can get some really pretty stuff, even if it's 8bit.

I don't have information on exposure tools, but I suspect they will be the same ones available on Blackmagic cameras. Their will be no LUT support upon release. They are planning on adding it with a firmware update, but no word on a release dat…

Spoke with a representative at BM, saying this is coming in October. Thinking of pairing this with my GH4, V-Log and sending the 4k signal to be downresed to 1080p in this recorder.

@aaronchicago that is awesome footage, and is very encouraging. There is banding just like you said. But that DR is very very encouraging! I havent gotten a chance to play with DR yet. But I guess I know what I will be doing today... I am also diggi…

@soupertrooper this is a fair statement. these were just first impressions. it is encouraging to hear that you had a positive experience. i should be more clear, my "first experience" was underwhelming. but I still have a lot test. I haven…
