Yes, many users have already received the new Panasonic GH4 4K Mirrorless Camera, proof that pre-ordered cameras are shipping now. Also many retailers are carrying them in stock. My GH4 cameras have already arrived this morning, and if you want something now you can get it from Adorama (Click Here).

@emm how are you converting raw files to jpeg on the gh4 ?
Jc
I got my gh4 a few days ago but have no idea how to convert them to jpeg in batches since I can't find a program to support it

Thx for the heads-up on B&H yesterday, I nabbed one plus a couple lenses. Have been working on a 4K GH4 edit with a friend, the on-screen look is totally jaw dropping! Getting a lot of visitors today which is definitely slowing progress, but it's worthwhile just to see the Red and Alexa guys squinting at the screens. Whooda thunk pro-grade cameras would someday cost less than the consumer TV's used to view the output!

Post author@A. David Shaw - Wow, there have been so many new cameras after the T2i without any issues of overheating it's hard to remember when I last ran into that problem. If you can't afford the GH4 and you want to look more into M43 cameras, i'm sure you will find plenty of GH3 cameras jumping on eBay soon.

I've used a Canon T2i for a few years now and have reached my limit with it. I had a project needing a longer record time than the T2i can provide. I want to upgrade to something like the GH4 though it is a but out of my price range. Do you know if it has the same overheating and time limits as the T2i? Thanks for all your help.

Post author@Efex - No plans to keep my GH3s. I will be selling them.
Efex
@Emm and others, are you gonna keep your GH3?
VanWeddings

Post author@Ivan Bercholz - The Atomos H2S didn't work very well for me. Something is weird about the signal. Go wuyh the GH4 if possible.
Ivan Bercholz
@Emm That is great news. I just rented one from lensrentals.com for a multicam shoot next week. I was going to use an Atomos H2S for pulldown removal, but much prefer this. Thanks!

anyone who pre-ordered through B&H got theirs yet? 😉

Post author@TikTak - There are so many new amazing features in the GH4, i'm getting distracted and don't have time for everything. The color profiles are much more customizable compared to the GH3. You can really tweak not just color profiles, contrast, but tweak highlight and shadows, and dynamic range. So much to play with to customize the look you're going for.

hi Emm,
What is the color range of the GH4, as compared to 5dm2 or 60d?
Crop on GH4?
Is there a max video time limit?
Thanks,

Wow, nice to see it is shipping, Waiting here impaitently for the pre ordered delivery from Vistek, Toronto. They say Apr 30th.
i Think this camera will start 4K revolution like what 5d Mark II did for HD video.
Emm
Post author@Ivan Bercholz - YES!!! I have a switch and the GH3 was a pain. Finally they fixed this and the hdmi matches the framerate!
Ivan Bercholz
Hi Emm, do these have clean hdmi 24p out, so they'll play nice with switchers? Unlike that nonsense with the gh2/3?
Emm
Post author@Johnny - The great thing is that you can adapt almost any lens to M43 cameras, but the most general lenses I use are the 12-35mm F/2.8 with OIS and 35-100mm F/2.8 OIS.
If anyone gets a GH3 or GH4 camera, I highly suggest these lenses. You'll use them for a variety of situations, and in video mode you can also use the TELE mode (punch in closer) on these lenses without sacrificing 1080p resolution.

People are trying to get this camera and you jump ahead and buy THREE, well done......
Johnny
Btw. What are the lens you would recommend for video on the gh4?
getem
GH cameras have never been and in no time soon will ever be low light high ISO cameras. If that's what people want then 5DMark III is your answer.
GH4 like GH3 have other strengths such as detail, resolution, and all around hybrid camera for event work, films, etc. Go read the specs and you will know.
DigitalCyclops
Awesome Emm!
How come you didn't buy a brick for at least one of them?
Nang
I'm really looking forward to comparisons between GH4 vs 5D3 low light and GH4 vs 5D3 ML raw. And definitely footage with 10bit 422 via external recorder.
Scott
Sooooooooooo Jealous! I ordered mine the first morning they were available for order! Just checked and mine won't be here until next Tuesday! Arrrgh!
cendrick
I will take the give-a-way 🙂
Rob
Very tempting to hit the buy button soon. Would love to see a low light comparison with the 5D MKIII and know if "The It" camera of the moment has any hidden gotchas...
Johnny
Me me me me me lol I am still debating on lens for the gh4 and if I want to keep my canon 70d
Sherwin Lau
@emm That would be great if you do a giveaway!!!
Emm
Post author@Johnny - Actually I'm thinking about doing a 'giveaway' with one of them. I don't need three...
Johnny
3??? Why 3? Renting them? Lol
Apostolos
I see you've already made your choice in the GH4 or A7s dilemma... 🙂

Dag...that was pretty messed up Emm! You stacked the boxes neatly, cleaned away the popcorn then THE END!! LOL
