   This is a company that is not crippling their new product like Nikon does.
   I don’t see where they holding back anything for the “next” model.
   They are not only after upgrades from their customer base but market share.
   I already have a GH3 and it does what no Nikon or Canon does.
   It gives me unlimited – unattended Video at 1080P 60.

   The improved OLED Monitor and promise of better low light high ISO
   and better Video are enough for me to add the GH4k,
   but this is going to make a really good Event Photography Camera for stills too.

   This camera is not out yet, There are a few panasonic released sample videos which you can youtube which show some nice images thus far, but since we don’t know all the details of how those videos were shot, it’s best to hold off judgement until its release.

   In the meantime, we can look at the features and draw comparisons to what’s currently available.

   The GH4 will likely be a popular camera, when it’s released it will be the cheapest 4k capable DSLR by a margin, the only other one to date is the 1DC which is many times the speculated price of at or around 2000 for the gh4. If you consider all the options offered along with the addon unit, they really threw the kitchen sink into this camera, and if we can expect it to perform similarly to the g6/gh2/gh3, this thing will sell like hotcakes.

   Some tasty highlights:
   -200mbit 1080 bitrate, no hack needed!
   -100mbit 4k (the AX100 tops out at 60mbit)
   -10 bit 4:2:2 uncompressed output, WOW! finally affordable 10bit!(well, other than blackmagic)
   -96fps slow motion, no it’s not an fs700, but 96 is very nice! twixtor can do a LOT with that
   -All the fixings such as peaking, zebras, timecode etc…
   -Ability to use speedbooster adapter
   -Addon unit for extra features/ports

   Some things im skeptical of
   -The Addon unit is huge, and rumored to be as costly as the camera
   -Will it have a truely flat profile? Nothing certain just yet
   -Wish they would have figured out an internal ND filter, even just 1 would have been great
   -micro hdmi connector on the body is annoying, but not a deal killer
