Great preview Andrew! Nice to have you at the forefront of camera-releases.
I was anticipating great things coming in the GH4 with all the rumors. But to be honest I am a bit disappointed. I don't get it. Why this form-factor? Panasonic gives us a 4K videocamera in a photocamera body?! AND they keep the GH3 in the line-up? This doesn't make sense.
And "the brick" (i opt to keep that name). Who the hell designed it? That is the most unhandy brick i have ever seen.
Sure the image quality is great. But a bigger cropfactor as "normal" m43 is really a no go imo. It sets the m43 filmer back. All lenses feel different and look off, if the cropfactor is different. That's at least how I felt shooting with a BMPCC. If I want that I would buy that.
I love the systemcameras and m43 format of Panasonic. But they need to move on to a filmcamera on this system. Get out of the photocamera formfactor because it is just in the way and holds the development of a new standard back!
