From the GH-4R specs: "4:2:2 8-bit / 4:2:2 10-bit (When 4:2:2 10-bit mode is selected, it is not possible to record motion picture or still picture on the SD memory card in the camera unit.)/Auto / C4K / 4K / 1080p/Information display ON/OFF (selectable)/Automatic down-conversion (4K --> 1080p only)"
So paired with a BM VA 7" it should work?? 4K 4:2:2 10bit??
Cameras can cost from $20 to $200.000, can you be more precise on your question?? How much money you want to spend?? What kind of shooting do you want to do??
You are right, I am for light/cheap equipment because my fees doesn't allow for more. But with 4K I realize that you need a nice LCD monitor to get focus right.
Check the new Flame Atomos, tell us if they really look good in person. I would be interested to know the cheapest option to feed them a 4K 10bit signal!
My impression is the exact opposite. Low end YouTubers denoise like there is no tomorrow. If you watch a blockbuster on a movie theater there is noise (or grain if you prefer) most of the time. Not all noises are the same, color noise sucks, that is true.
BM never seems to provide the whole pack. They always seem to fail in something. It's a shame, they produce the better images, but without reliability, who wants a camera?
