TheCamera Store TV Autofocus Shootout: GH4 is damn close to the $6,500 Nikon D4s!

I know you will call me crazy or fanboy but I seriously believe mirrorlesss cameras are the future. DSLR still have some clear advantages and one of them is known to be the faster autofocus performance. Today TheCameraStoreTV team posted this autofocus shootout video to see  how close the latest generation mirrorless camera are compared to the king of sports photography, the $6,500 Nikon D4s. Chris tested the Fuji X-T1, Sony A6000, Olympus E-M1 and Panasonic GH4.

Well according to their tests the Panasonic GH4 autofocus performance is damn close to the Nikon which is a huge surprise in face of the massive price difference. Yes, the day will come when a Mirrorless camera (maybe a GH5?) will match the best DSLR autofocus.

Twills:Here is a video I shot at the Dominion Riverrock festival this past weekend. It was shot with the GH4 in 4K @ 30 FPS, 1080p @ 60 FPS, and 1080p @ 96 FPS. I hope you like action sports. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDAtxgHXM6A

Sol:One of the questions I get asked a lot is how to use Canon EF lenses on the Panasonic GH4, so I wrote a post with all the details: http://suggestionofmotion.com/blog/panasonic-gh4-lens-options-canon-ef/
Guillaume:I wanted to share my last video work with the Panasonic GH4, “The Sicilian March” https://vimeo.com/94922357. The slowmotion allowed me to capture the men expressions and emotions wearing heavy statues during the Easter procession “Misteri di Tapani”. I also wrote some articles about photos made during my travel, as well as the equipement I used for that kind of travel documentary work.

Ryan:Hey guys, I shot a brief test with the GH4 and Defy G2 in the Bahamas on Sunday…I figured I’d share with you. I was going for a filmic look to contrast a lot of the footage I’ve seen so far from this camera: https://vimeo.com/95246522. Settings: Natural with contrast -5, saturation -2, sharpness -5 shadow/highlight curves adjusted based on available light I’m shooting a 3 min short in a state park with actors to test skin tones, cinematic shots & slow-mo. I’ll send that over when it’s done if you’re interested.

Alexandre:I’m a huge fan of your blog. I think I’m visiting it 5-10 times a day. Recently I received my GH4 and I had the opportunity to shoot a full day in some nice and natural places. It’s a short test on GH4 4K in few conditions using Nokton 25mm 0.95 lens, Noktor and Nikon lenses. I’m not a professionnal and I really hope to be able to test Lausanne in the city, during the evening or the night to have some nice low light tests. If you want or estimate it’s good enough to share it, it would be an honor and pleasure! Here is the link ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHXuiTOtj1s. The video is still in processing for 35 minutes. I hope you’ll enjoy it. Have a nice day, and wish you all the best! Bonne continuation!

Panasonic GH4 review by Digitalrev.

The crazy guy named Kai reviewed the GH4 including also the shortest Still Image Quality test ever seen :)

Also Photofocus posted their GH4 review and writes:

The images are great. The interface is intuitive and quick and out of the way. The features are valuable, not bloating. The weight is half. The price is half. The cost of keeping heavy DSLRs will tell over time on your body and your hard drive. I think it’s really a winner

Panasonic GH4 review by CameraLabs. First YAGH interface on eBay US.

[shoplink 46227 ebay][/shoplink]

GH4 in Stock status in USA:
The only store that has them in Stock sells them for $2099 on [shoplink 46226 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink]. And for the first time the YAGH interface is in Stock via [shoplink 46227 ebay]eBay seller (Click here)[/shoplink].
The GH4 will be back in Stock in late May at Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, Ritz Camera and Panasonic.

Meantime Gordon Laing posted the full GH4 review at CameraLabs and writes:

If you’re only judging the GH4 on stills, it’s clearly very good, but you can match or beat it with cheaper models. But if you’re interested in video, the Lumix GH4 is triumphant. Yes it’s noisy at high ISOs, but look at the price! 4k video with internal recording and 1080p at 96fps, squeezed into a compact camera that’s also respectable for stills – all for under $2000 USD? The GH4 is not just a bargain for video enthusiasts, it’s a game-changer.

Great review by Gordon!
