More info with video of the firmware. http://www.newsshooter.com/2014/11/20/panasonic-gh4-v-log-picture-profile-spotted-in-the-wild/ quote from newsshoter " By technical editor Matt Allard: A GH4 on the Panasonic stand at the Inter BEE show in Tokyo today was running beta firmware with the V-Log picture profile. This Log profile is similar to the one in the much more expensive Varicam 35. This would be a very welcome enhancement for anyone trying to get the best possible image from the GH4, and a huge advantage for colourists trying to match the GH4 with other cameras. I spoke to a Panasonic representative who told me that the V-Log Picture Profile was only being tested at the moment and isn’t confirmed for the next firmware release. Interestingly enough though I did run into a Japanese shooter who had V-Log operational on his GH4. Lets hope that it is indeed scheduled to be included in Panasonic’s upcoming firmware update."

I think maxotics gave some solid advice. I have met so many photographers working for nothing hoping to get "the BIG" job in the future. That usually newer happens. How can you justify getting payed much more when you once agreed on working for scraps ? I soon learnt to think as if every jod I did was the last time I worked for that client for 2 reasons. 1. ppl in advertising sometimes change who's their favorite photographer as ppl change underwear( even though you have always delivered top quality material ). 2. To keep myself doing the very best I could( for the money they payed and we had agreed on they should get ) on every job I got. I'm not trying to discourage you to take the leap because if if it's something you really want...... go for it... but be really prepared when you do.
