At 15:00 Berlin time Panasonic will live stream their product announcement event at the IFA in Berlin (just click play on the button of the video above). UPDATE: Live stream is over and as expected they announced the new Panasonic HC-X1 camcorder we leaked previously.

The next press event is on September 19 at Photokina. We know the new G80 (or G85) will be announced along the new GH5 “prototype” or “preproduction” camera!

Fredrik:Here’s a really cool bread recipe that I shot with the GH4. It was shot in 4K using CineLike D and graded in FCPX with Color Finale. Lenses used was 12-35mm X and 35-100mm X. The scene was lit with 3 Fotodiox 1000 ASVL LED’s with Lee 1/4 minus green filters mixed with window light”
