From the GH-4R specs: "4:2:2 8-bit / 4:2:2 10-bit (When 4:2:2 10-bit mode is selected, it is not possible to record motion picture or still picture on the SD memory card in the camera unit.)/Auto / C4K / 4K / 1080p/Information display ON/OFF (selectable)/Automatic down-conversion (4K --> 1080p only)"

So paired with a BM VA 7" it should work?? 4K 4:2:2 10bit??

BM has all the right ingredients but the cake never cames right!!! ;-)

Drag and drop from what to what? Make an example and I try it.

Come on, there will be an app. There is an app for everything!!! ;-D

If there is a field where 4K makes sense 100% is in drone work. I wouldn't loose time with the BMMC, imho.

I am on El Capitan, but use FCP X. It's working well for me.

btw... is filming someone welding/cutting metal the high end equivalent of making a "cat in the garden" demo video?

It could even end in a preset, in between the Beach Sunset and the Autumn Leaves, the Welding in Workshop!!!

I just have a fear that when I go out and shoot a short film and i use daylight bulbs to light some scenes I fear that when I get in post i'll just end up with some visually boring looking mess that became too technically correct and lost any creative style.

That's the reason people make tests. First stick to rules, then go wild. First WB manually, then try going over/under. Nobody makes art with a preset.

I had good luck with Patona ones. 

Cameras can cost from $20 to $200.000, can you be more precise on your question?? How much money you want to spend?? What kind of shooting do you want to do??

I have the same problems/ideas. I am more oriented for a VA 7 or a Atomos.

I expect there will be a new cinealta version of the a7sii sometime soon.  then we'll have 10bit 4;2;2 onto card, but it'll be a cinealta price..  

Yo no necesito una versión Cinealta, yo quiero una versión Cinebarata! ;-DD

10 bit at 1080p is not bad!

You are right, I am for light/cheap equipment because my fees doesn't allow for more. But with 4K I realize that you need a nice LCD monitor to get focus right. 

Thanks to everyone! And the https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicmicrostudiocamera4k ??

In the "flame" (pun intended) of cheaper/better external recorder, which is the cheapest way to feed them with a 4K/10bit camcorder??

The Craft Camera is a great promise, let's hope it turns into reality!

Rich you are an optic information infinite resource!

Apple not supporting Quicktime in Windows is nearly criminal

Check out Atomos. Tell me if HDR is going to be the next big thing like I think it is =)

Check the new Flame Atomos, tell us if they really look good in person. I would be interested to know the cheapest option to feed them a 4K 10bit signal!

Your problems could be easily solved with this.

One thing I've been really unsatisfied about my pass cameras is that they're very noisy (been using the G7), often had to shoot above 1000 ISO.

The G7 should be more than sufficient. Learn to use it.

I love it, but in Italy it cost a lot more then 299 they say on the website! I have to find something similar but a lot cheaper

Ammazza con Amazon! Buy direct, if it comes from UK you don't need to pay taxes!

For YouTube it's not really necessary. It's used all the time in high-end work.

My impression is the exact opposite. Low end YouTubers denoise like there is no tomorrow. If you watch a blockbuster on a movie theater there is noise (or grain if you prefer) most of the time. Not all noises are the same, color noise sucks, that is true. 

BM never seems to provide the whole pack. They always seem to fail in something. It's a shame, they produce the better images, but without reliability, who wants a camera?

Italy is a disaster as you can immagine. There few really talented people have jobs all over the world or in the north of Italy (lot's of industry). To work in Rome os south you have to accept low wages/peanuts even for broadcast work. In fact I quitted faking that I work and started a personal project!
