Much improved

I had a similar model of camera from panasonic for forever. It was getting old (10 years) so I decided to upgrade. Build quality is much better, image quality most definitely better. Lots of new features to make sure you get the best image possible in all lighting conditions. I also love the fact it has 4k and wifi capabilities.

Excellent started camera, rich feature set. Also great "B" cam!

EXCELLENT camera. I have had NONE of the weird glitchy problems people seem to have with the Sony and BMD cams (overheating, failures, whatever). Has NEVER failed me. It just works consistently well, and is well designed. There is a learning curve, but well worth the investment in time. I added the GH-5 later so the pair gives me a great system with my various lenses (Sigma Art 18-35 EF lens via Metabones adapter, various Lumix/Leica lenses) for use in the video I do. MFT doesn't/can't deliver the deep DOF you get with full-frame cams, but for the work I do, and with ND filters, I can get some good DOF. Bottom line: It's a winner!

I shot my last three video project on this guy. A feature length and a pair of short films. It puts out amazing quality for such a low price. Sure, the GH5 is nice, but holy crap, at $699 this is an amazing value.

Good tool specially with price in 2019

It's just a tool. But the good about it that now this tool cost OK money. So I bought gh4 and going to invest in lenses instead of buying gh5

This is a video beast. Do your homework and learn to use light kits and this will serve you well.

Love the GH4!

Will probably need to pick up a speedbooster at some point for additional low light capabilities, and to take back some of the crop lost due to MFT and 4K. So far, very pleased with the output of this workhorse. Has all the tools needed: waveform, histogram, audio levels, level, remote control/viewing, timelape, DCI 4K, UHD, 4:3 Anamorphic, 10-bit 422 external, etc.

No in body stabilizer. For the money it should ha

This camera has one of the most versatile mounts that can use almost any lens. Unfortunately it does not have an in body stabilizer and makes for shaky video. I would recommend the gx85 for video. This camera can not do video or Stills perfectly and cost is high. Maybe if it was $800 I would consider keeping it.

Good Camera With Some Caveats

This is a great 4k capable camera and has received many positive reviews elsewhere. However, there are some issues that increase its cost and these need to be factored in. The main deficiency of this otherwise excellent camera is that it does not do well in low light. This problem can be fixed but requires one, if not two, additional purchases. First, if you get the Metabones Speed Booster, you gain a stop of light, and can also attach non-MFT lenses. The downside is the Booster costs ($) And second, if you don't already own a fast lens, and by fast, I mean f1.8 or faster, then you will need to pony up for that. And sadly, fast lenses aren't usually cheap either, so you can expect to pay another ($) or so for that. But if you do, you will be effectively shooting at f1.2 and that solves your low light problem. However, those purchases are equal to the cost of the camera itself, so it is definitely something to consider. Of course, you can always just add external lighting to deal with low light, but that may or may not be a practical solution (pun intended). My other complaint is that to shoot in the most gradable format, VLOG, Panasonic wants you to pay an additional ($) for that. That seems a bit of a racket if you ask me. I mean they might as well just turn you upside down and shake you to see what falls out of your pockets. If you factor in all these additional costs, the Speed Booster, the fast lens, and V-log, well, that basically puts you in Sony A7S territory, so you have to ask yourself, is it worth it? If you mostly shoot in daylight and rarely in low light, I'd say the GH4 is a no brainer. But if you shoot mostly in low light with little control over the circumstances, then you might as well go with the Sony A7S. Currently, I have the GH4 with the Speedbooster and was able to use an old Sigma 20 mm f1.8 lens, so in my case, this is a reasonable set-up for under 2,000 and I'm pleased with its low light performance shooting in Cinelike-D.

A classic

After nearly 2 years of use for mostly 4K video, I'm still amazed by the quality and capabilities of this little camera. I've used pro broadcast video cameras for over 30 years, and to have this thing outperform them in countless ways at something like 1/10th the price (and 1/10th the weight!) is simply amazing. But yes, the low light capabilities could be better.

FEATURED REVIEWS

BEST hybrid; features compete with any DSLR

By RJ

PANASONIC GH4 BLK CAMERA BODY

What can the PANASONIC GH4 BLK CAMERA BODY do? As a low light compact camera, the better question might be: what can’t it do? When you’re talking about a camera body with a premier viewfinder, Wi-Fi® connectivity, plenty of luminance adjustment, focus peaking—you’re talking about a camera body with “the works.”

Product Highlights

  • It begins with the technical specs, and boy does the Panasonic GH4 camera body have it where it counts, including 4K 24p cinematic video—which, if you’re counting, is the world’s first DSLM camera recording video in that quality.
  • The focus compatibility with your favorite lenses allows for both manual focus and autofocus modes, giving you more control over your shorts—or, if you prefer it, less control for more convenience.
  • Easy adjustments including highlight and shadow control make it possible to put your photographs through your own manual filter before you process them to your favorite social media sites.

The Panasonic GH4 camera body is a camera body for someone who wants it all—and believes that they can have it in one single product and one single purchase at Adorama.

 

Learn about the PANASONIC GH4 BLK CAMERA BODY

Between the words you see thrown about when describing cameras—durability, compatibility, versatility—is another, more underrated word: reasonability. The PANASONIC GH4 BLK CAMERA BODY is the quintessential reasonable camera body. What do we here at Adorama mean by reasonable? We mean that it knows what photographers like you want, and it responds in kind by providing exactly that, offering all of the technical specifications that make a camera body attractive in the first place. It’s reasonable by giving you exactly what you need to take high-quality pictures: no muss, no fuss. And in many areas, it goes above and beyond reasonability into pure, raw photographic ability.

So how do we define reasonability at Adorama? Let’s explore the many features of the Panasonic GH4 camera body:

  • Technical specs: We’re talking a newly developed 16.05 Megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor and Venus, which helps record images at high speeds and high sensitivity. If you thought a “reasonable” camera couldn’t take stunning photographs, then you were wrong. And that’s not to say that video is exempt from this technical superiority, either. Try 4K 24p cinematic video—the world’s first digital single lens mirrorless (DSLM) camera recording video in 4K. That’s above and beyond the call of duty.
  • Beautiful viewfinding. Viewfinding should be both attractive and accurate—if it’s neither of them, then you’re never going to frame the shots that you want. The Panasonic GH4 camera body accomplishes beautiful and accurate viewfinding through a high-speed dual OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display. This LVF (Live View Finder) and rear monitor helps ensure that you get a full-resolution display of exactly what you need to know about your next shot. Without this feature, you’re just guessing.
  • Wireless connectivity. If you’re a photography enthusiast, then there’s a good chance you don’t mind sharing your work once in a while. Enter the wireless capabilities of the Panasonic GH4 camera body, including the DMC-GH4 integrating with Wi-Fi® connectivity. If you want to instantly share a brilliant image you just took, then this camera body will help you do exactly that quickly and easily.
  • Achieve the right lighting—every time. A bold promise, to be sure, but the luminance level adjustment on the Panasonic GH4 camera body is something to behold. The DMC-GH4 supports plenty of “postproduction” features that allow you to mess with lighting to a degree beyond the amateur. This camera is capable of capitalizing on plenty of dim light, allowing you to make the most of every picture. Pair it with a high-aperture lens and you’ll never have to fear nighttime lighting again.
  • Fast focusing with easily interchangeable lenses means you’ll have no problem utilizing fast autofocus on your favorite lenses. The digital signal exchange maxes out at 240fps, giving you a focus effect that is both quick and smooth as silk.

Calling the PANASONIC GH4 BLK CAMERA BODY a “reasonable” camera might strike you as a back-handed compliment: until you read the specs and find out that in Adorama-speak, “reasonable” translates to “durable, versatile, and capable.” This camera body is capable in just about every area it serves, offering you a plethora of options for your intermediate and advanced photography. The only question is: are you reasonable enough to procure one for yourself?
