Klaus:The Pana 100-300mm is unsually seldom part of interest: I have just posted an article regarding its use at shooting American Football games. Feel free to visit at http://in-meinem-fokus.blogspot.com/2014/06/sharks-attack-first-steps-with-lumix.html

Travis:I have been using the GH4 since day 1. Honestly, it is very close to being the perfect camera for my needs. The biggest issue I have is that Program Priority mode with Auto ISO will never use faster than 1/60 of a second shutter duration if you have a wide angle prime on the camera. Here is a video that explains why we need a minimum shutter duration setting for Auto ISO in Program priority mode for both stills and video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jWzbXczUnE

Jonas:Here’s a few shots I took with the PanaLeica 42,5mm and Oly Em1: Jonaslinngard.tumblr.com

Cem:Full Battery and it looks like camera used only 50% of the battery to take 2680 pictures. (All JPEG only no RAW). Also i have set the camera to A and ISO to 200 16:9 aspect ratio. I hope you all enjoy. Here is the youtube link (4K version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fysqpfIuRU&feature=share

Xiyu:I got my GH4 one week ago and have been doing some test shots these days. This is a new short film of GH4 4K ansmorphic in 3840X1080p. http://vimeo.com/97636475

Patrik:Great comparison by Neumannfilms between these 3 cameras (GH4 vs EPIC vs 5D3). http://youtu.be/8kwMWb2KPB4

Panasonic advertises 4K with superstar Neymar.

How does Panasonic spend their money to advertise 4K? Easy, they hire superstar footballer Neymar and make him play with the not so cool looking [shoplink 46655 ebay]”Panasonic HX-A500″ (here on eBay)[/shoplink]. Wondering if that’s the kind of advertising that will make people say…wow how cool this 4K thing is :)

Could the new Panasonic FZ-1000 be all the camera you need?

As a system camera user it’s hard to get excited about fixed lens compact cameras. But the Panasonic FZ-1000 announced today really shake up the premium compact and fixed lens market. First of all it’s priced much lower ($400 less!) than the only competitor to date: The Sony RX10. You can check the price and preorder the Panasonic FZ-1000 at Amazon (Click here), Adorama (Click here) and BHphoto (Click here). In Europe at WexUK (Click here). Here are a list of reasons why that camera is very intriguing:

1) 25-400mm f/2.8-4.0 lens. It has a damn useful zoom (and aperture) range that covers almost all the possible needs you could have when travelling.
2) The lens has no orion-ring effect on the bokeh just like the $1499 Nocticron 42,5mm f/1.2 lens! (Source: DC.watch).
3) It uses the same Sony 20.1 MP 1 inch large sensor of the new RX100M3. But the FZ-1000 seems to have a better performance at 1600 ISO (see Studio Scene comparison at Dpreview).
4) Has an optical 5 axis stabilization.
5) Unlike Sony’s RX10/Rx100M3 Panasonic fully unlocked the sensors 4K recording potential. Now we have 4K at 30fps and 100mbit/s!
6) It has the same Panasonic GH4 processor engine.
7) The EVF doesn’t appear to be a field-sequential panel, meaning it’s free from the RGB ‘tearing’ that undermined that model’s shooting experience (for some people).

This is really a great camera! So here is the short question:

Are you considering to buy the FZ-1000?

Gabriel:Hi admin just wanted to share a Hong Kong travel short, shot entirely on GH3 with 12-35, graded with LUTs. http://vimeo.com/97603218

Eric: “I wanted to share some documentary content with you guys that was shot entirely with the GH3.  It is also commercial content shot for Diamond Foods here in California(Parent to Emerald Nuts, Pop Secret, Kettle Chips). Every frame was shot on the GH3.  I figured the 4/3 community would like to check out the work. LINKS TO DOCS:

Anonymous:im deutschen Oly-Forum http://www.oly-forum.com/forum/kameras-objektive/wifiwlan-und-e-m1?page=3 hat der User andy72 ein Programm für Windows geschrieben bei dem die Funktionen der App Ol.Share übernommen werden. In seinem Beitrag #77 stellt er den Link vor. Mit https://rebs.biz/files/CC-1.0.4-Setup.exe kann das Programm heruntergeladen werden. Mit meiner E-M1 funktioniert es schon sehr gut. Es dürfte daher auch mit der Pen E-P5 und der OM-D E-M 10 auch gehen. Andy will es noch weiter verbessern (Artfilter) und gibt es als Freeware heraus.
