    jypfoto got a reaction from Julian in Panasonic GH4 to ship in Europe from 5th May   
    I'm getting one delivered this morning in the US from ephotocraft. Pairing it with the Transcend 64GB card.

    jypfoto got a reaction from tosvus in Panasonic GH4 vs Sony A7S compared - who wins the 4K battle on paper?   
    For me, I'm sticking with my GH4 preorder for a number of reasons.
    - Articulating screen
    - Touch screen
    - better grip/more comfortable to hold
    - established lineup of lenses (Nocticron looks amazing, as does the new 15 f/1.7)
    - internal 4k
    - cheaper most likely

    Sony does this to us with every release. They come so close to making a complete, breathtaking product but leave something out of it that makes you scratch your head. Almost makes you wonder if they're purposely holding back to get you with the next product. It started with the NEX line (molasses slow lens release), went to the RX1 (sluggish AF, external EVF), then to the a7 line (slowish AF, no touch screen, loud shutter, limited lens release). Not everyone adapts manual glass and some rely on fast AF since it's not all about landscapes and architecture.

    Another thing that I haven't seen brought up us ergonomics. Yes the a7s is more compact but look at the layout, it's the same as the other a7's. What I mean is by all reports the video record button is in an odd place, offset to the side like that. People either comment how it's too easy to press and they end up accidentally recording a bunch of grass and the inside of the camera bag or it's too difficult to reach comfortably for the times that you want to shoot video. The GH4 like the 5DM3 seem to have it in the right place, not somewhere where you would accidentally press, but easy enough to reach when you want to.
