Panasonic Lumix GH4

 

Panasonic's latest is the first CSC to shoot 4K video

4K video facility is unique, Tough and weatherprood design, Impressive AF speed

Control layout a touch over-complicated, Tracking AF performance a let-down

Panasonic GH4 review

 

The Panasonic GH4 is the first compact system camera with 4K video

4K video shooting ; Eye-level viewfinder ; Fast and responsive

Pricey if you don't need 4K ; Smaller sensor than rivals ; No body integral anti shake

Panasonic GH4 review

 

Panasonic has given its top-end CSC a 4K revamp

4k video recording ; Focus peaking ; Durable build with 200,000-cycle shutter life

Smaller than APS-C sensor ; 'Just' 16Mp

The GH4 has some of our most sought-after features; a high-resolution EVF, a vari-angle screen that's touch-sensitive and Wi-Fi connectivity. It's also weather- and dust-proof and takes great-looking images.

Panasonic DMC-GH4 review

 

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...

Panasonic Lumix GH4 review

 

We've often thought of the Panasonic GH series as the best consumer interchangeable lens system for video capture on the market. It's not hard to see why: the Panasonic Lumix GH4 offers 4K video capture at usable frame rates. On paper that's...

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 camera...

Panasonic Lumix GH4 4K camera review

 

Its 4K recording might grab the headlines, but the GH4 is more than that - it's Panasonic's finest all-round camera yet

Good high ISO performance ; Superb 4K video capture ; Quick, accurate autofocus ; Great viewfinder and screen ; Tough, weatherproof body

Large by mirrorless standards ; Pricey

Fantastic video performance and tank-like build quality make this the go-to high-end CSC for amateur movie makers

Panasonic Lumix GH4 gears up for 4K

 

The company introduces the first interchangeable-lens still camera that's QFHD- and Cinema 4K-ready out of the box, though you'll have to accessorize for best results.
