But apart from being passionate, I think a videographer needs a camera that does justice to all his passion and hard work. The camera shall capture the video in the same way in which it is captured in the eyes of the videographer.
Comparison with previous models
And I have found a camera which is very close to this feature of capturing that perfect shot and making a video in the very perfect way, with less complaints, the " Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4".
It resembles a lot like its predecessor "GH3", but in technicality, it has outnumbered it and I can rate it as one of the most capable and skilful still and video cameras I have ever come accross.
And all this comes for a price tag which is a mass-market price tag. The price and the unmatched quality of the camera is something which makes it worth a buy for all the professional videographers like me. Even people who are passionate about videography can invest in this camera and surprise themeselves with their own work.
Many a times it is seen that a newer version of any prduct is just an incremental progression of the previous model and there is no big technological advancement. But there are exceptions to every rule and Lumix GH4 is one such exception, I believe.
Features
- The important attractive feature of GH4 is that it has become the first CSC to offer 4K video, which is the lates in the high resolution video capturing stream. And it does not stop here.
- The Model is found to have many high-end features which has made the GH series so popular till date. Ofcourse, with a lot of improvement made to its predecessor.
- Some of the headline features are, namely it provides excellent quality in still image and gives a fantastic and highly detailed video quality.
- Its video recording is very superior with chops with 4K video, which includes both cinema 4K and the ultra HD.
- It has great AF performance and provides a burst shooting. Has a dust proof and splash proof magnesium alloy body with a built-in Wi-Fi.
But like any other product it also has some limitations. It is slowly noticed that the buffer clearing with RAW files is sluggish and the rolling shutter that is noticeable on the 4K video is not as compact as most of the Mirrorless cameras.
Conclusion: If you are an existing user of GH3, you shall spend time on this version which has a menu to go through, so that you don't miss out on any feature which might prove to be usefull to you as a videographer.
