At least use a Vaio notebook to change the .txt file!!!!  :P

Whats your experience with rolling shutter on the GH4 Andrew?

About the same as on the GH3.

I don't think it's so much the physical sensor size as the amount of data to read off it. 4K is a lot of pixels. 2160 lines is double the number to scan than 1080. It takes twice as long, so to compensate you have to speed up the rolling shutter. Sony have not done this enough.

OK glad you mention the shoulder, because I have no idea how URSA is supposed to go on there...
 
The 10" flip screen is way too big to be used on the shoulder. It would be smack right in front of your face. So it is necessary to close the screen... then that blocks the control interface and 2nd screen, along with a bunch of physical buttons.
 
Not ideal.
 
OK it does have the saving grace of the right hand side panel and good for a second camera op whilst the shooter concentrates on getting the shot with an offset external EVF on the left.
 
I thought the point was you didn't have to add any bits?

This camera reminds me of them Alienware laptops... or an Aventador

Dunno. It's Canon we're talking about: the same company that used essentially the same sensor from the t2i to t5i. They have been coasting on brand recognition since the 5D Mark II.

I am not a pro, not in the cinema field. I write free-lance articles and illustrate them with my pictures. Nowadays, more and more magazines ask for motion pictures for their online presence, so I am learning film. I can probably sell smaller reports, short films, documentaries…
 
I trust Panasonic. They have been focused on my segment. They have listened to our ideas and criticism and developed the GH2-GH3-GH4 family accordingly. The GH4 looks like a finished product, not like a must-have idea. The M43 system has a good range of lenses, and the size/weight is certainly a benefit when travelling.
 
I don’t trust Blackmagic Design. They are very sympathetic but I don’t know, how interested they are in my segment. They look to be more interested in developing new ideas, instead of completing existing ones.
 
I don’t know about Sony. They look interested but they are so focused on the pro segment, they will probably forget me concerning some features.
 
I am sure about Canon. I will sell my stuff, I am just fed-up. What can I expect from a company, whose most interesting video features are handled by an enthusiastic hacker/reverseengineering community?
 
At last, I shouldn’t forget my first love, Nikon. There have been an April’s news about, Ricoh is buying them… I certainly hope so, because I don’t think Nikon is around here as an independent company in 3 years from now.

Hands up if you thought Atomos had got into the mic business?!

It's just the grade. Settings were correct, including ISO.

Close to a stop yes. Shouldn't make 'too' much difference in gauging what it's trying to show though.

Well that's interesting,  Good thing I spend 98% of my time shooting under ISO3200.  

Looks like the 5D Mark III is still the lowlight king, but I'm impressed with how well the GH4 footage holds up to being denoised.  Curious to know if this was Neat Video or something else.

Lowlight test has hit the web: 

I'm stoked to see your lowlight shoot out. One of the big ones for me with Canon is the clean ISO performance i had on the C100. The 1DC is said to be better but I've never had $12,000 to test that... (Who the hell does.). It'd be great (personally) to know the gh4 stood up to the C100 in those terms.

I definitely want to take a look at this when I've got some more time on the weekend.  Thank you Andrew for doing this.  It really helps a lot of people.  

Amazing level of resolution. As Andrew said it looks like a moving photograph. Really shows-off the quality of the lenses. The image looks promising in other ways too.
 
Are we going to see a lot of indie features shot on this camera? Is it a realistic alternative to Blackmagic for low budget cinema? Does it lend itself better to documentary/freeform work? Predictions?

A little teaser...

Holy cow. Grades smooth as butter.

holy cow the porsche clip looks,....      Yow! 
 
Borrowed the holy cow line from AaronChicago.  Just put the clip in after-effects and in my excitement threw a bunch of magic bullet looks at it and I'm drooling.  
 
OK, now I just dropped an Eastman 5298 EXR 500T film stock on it and I'm in love.....

A little bit of pee just came out...

Andrew, for someone who says "attention seeking for clicks." on the post above, You look like someone who knows how to play the game quite nicely too  ;) 
 
Oh well, that was a nice april's fool  :D

I'll second that - been clicking on EOSHD since Sunday night (California time - I'm used to Andrew's schedule with him in the UK) and am going mad waiting... And of course this is a great indicator of what a great site you run!

Is the footage posted yet from this test?  Really excited about this camera!
