Th BlackMagic video assist is pretty neat. I hope they add a few hundred to the price and do a 4k version of it too.

Thanks for posting this. These laptops have some serious Desktop specs. I am guessing they will be superb for editing.

I personally believe that very large exteral recorders defeat the purpose of compact cameras. I hope that they bring out a 4k Ninja Star.

Could you point out during which sections of the video? There are strange window and mirror reflections in the video too. Do you think you may have confused those with the noise perhaps?

Even though it isn't hailed as a great stills cameras, GH4 shoots some great stills as well, and therefore is a hybrid in every sense of the word. One doesn't need a Medium Format Camera to shoot film stills. 16 MP is more than sufficient for that purpose.

You are doing some great work. Respect..

I don't know why, but I feel it is not the sensor size that may be the issue. Atleast not for video (everything else being similar). Also for stills, the Nokia Pureview was insane with downsized filed comparable with DSLRs (in stills). I know this is Pure cheeky, but I feel a Log Profile will nail it completely. I know Sony (and I am sure the other guys too) Sensors have Raw capabilities and one of the Sony sensors does full res at 30p (at God know what bitrate). I wonder if such a sensor can be made to do 10-bit or 8-bit 4-2-2 kindda vlog video? If it can, then I imagine a lot of DSLRs and point and shoot never really leaving the house. ;-)

I wonder what the difference between Mobile Phone Cameras and DSLRs will be in terms of quality, once they run similar bitrates, have similar processing power and have similar codecs. I feel apps like this on the right phones can seriously narrow down the gap. And maybe the answer will very surprising considering how much smaller mobile phone sensors are.

I couldn't agree more. The difference between the 550D and 5D mark ii in video quality is negligible (except low light, obviously), and yet the price difference was huge. The 550D has the advantage of being much lighter and hence easier to carry around. Somewhere I think Panasonic did it's best to cripple the GM line, wherein the GM1 appeared very promising in low light, and so the GM5 could have been designed as a great low light as well as 4k shooter, with features similar to the GH4 (actually the G7), but with obviously poor battery life and no headphone monitoring. The form factor itself could have helped sell a lot of those. But Panasonic stunted the video features in that line.

I feel it lacks detail. The A7S still seems to be so much better. And the difference between a $2500 vs $30000 camera should be Noticeably More Substantial. Here, my vote actually goes to Sony. The screenshots actually make the Canon look like 720p instead of 1080p.

I noticed some screen grabs from the Canon 4 milliom ISO camera at ISO 36000 and 51000, and from the looks of things the A7S seems to be a good competitor for now. http://www.fdtimes.com/2015/07/30/canon-4-million-iso-full-frame-video/ http://www.fdtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Moab-Night-36.2K_ISO.png http://www.filmanddigitaltimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/NYC-Night-51.2K_ISO.png

Wow. Matt, that's a first for eoshd. That's the Official First Wager here ... ;-)

Nokker if you are the developer of this great app, could you please tell me all themobil devices compatible with this app. I was unable to find it on the app info. Thanks in advance.

I have a note 3. It says the device is not compatible. I wonder what all decide it is compatible with.

I checked, checked, and checked again one last time. I think it is not available in India. Am heartbroken. Hahaha

Hahaha, he's hilarious. He apparently attempted it on IndiGogo too and it failed there as well. And therefore he left this video on Kickstarter:

I am guessing that the Panasonic DVX-200 and the GH4 will have noticeably different grading abilities, being the difference in 8 bit 4-2-0 and 10-bit 4-2-2. Also the bitrate could be noticeably more on the GH4 recorded externally.

I believe that means 12 stops of Dynamic Range. Also pushing the Bitrate substantially higher to help preserve details better, noy to mention easier for post work.

I just noticed, that the JVC is planning on bringing a lot of features via a new firmware update, which will only further improve the features on the camera: http://pro.jvc.com/prof/attributes/features.jsp?model_id=MDL102318

wow. I thought the same thing. Actually since the BlackMagic Video assist won't be appearing any time soon, they should upgrade the Internal recording to 4k ProRes and add another $300 to the price tag. Hehehe

Actually recording 10 bit 4k woud require some serious processing power, superb write speeds and may even cause serious heating issues. Plus the GH4 records in the vicinity of 4 hours. 4k at 10bit might cause some serious explosion I am guessing.

hahahahahahahahaha The HDMI out was already doing 10-bit previously. Would they get it down to 8-bit for the VLog? Probably not. Btw I am guessing all major retailers will stock kits for the update: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1182741-REG/panasonic_dmw_sfu1_vlog_v_log_l_function_activation.html

News Shooter had tested the new Log on the Panasonic DVX200, which they claim is identital to the Log on the GH4. The Log was mostly great but the highlights clipped slightly (they actually said the rolloff wasn't too pleasing). I hope they jack up the bitrate to be to handle the extra data well.

I has said $99 seems reasonable. I also hope they allow the VLog for the GX8, the G7 and the LX100.

A few Sony cameras have paid updates for Extra features. I guess, as long as the amount is reasonable like $99 or something, it should help both Panasonic as well as the users. To Increase sales for Panasonic they could also sell it for the LX100, GX8 and the G7. I guess betwern these 4 models they can earn a fair deal of money on the VLog update.
