Yeah I mean you can find a used GH4 for $400 these days, thats a little over $1000 with Ninja V. Thats a bit cheaper than a used GH5 but not by a lot. Also even with a Ninja V the GH4 is still far behind the GH5 capabilities. If there was a cheaper external recording option it would be more valuable. The GH4 is not a bad camera on its own though. Definitely has limitations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 What does a used GH5 go for, a couple hundred dollars more than that combo? Seems like a no brainer for the GH5 Otherwise put that $400 to a G85 As 8bit vlog isn't exactly appealing, and battery life is already pretty good in all Panasonics anyway, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 GH4 is not even close to an GH5, there are other solutions if you try to buy from the bottom. I do not see Panasonic do a lot more than their S releases this year, and GH5 is still the top video orientated mirrorless. The only thing they can do is lower the price a bit now, and a little more again before Christmas and release a new one - probably 8K - early spring of 2020, and again they will be ahead of the bunch.

The GH5 battery life was considerably less than the GH4 though. IBIS really killed it I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
