Can't wait!  Hopefully it is 4K for 2K (or less)

Very exciting. I love the gh2 and gh3 but they really need to upgrade the compression more so than jacking up the resolution, if they have done that and got some more dynamic range  they will have one killer camera and my money.

Something to consider about 4k- when you down size it to a smaller comp (ie, 1080p, etc), you are starting off with more information per pixel than shooting 1080p native. Especially with advanced NLEs that allow sub-pixel processing, you are going to have a clearer, cleaner image with more color information per pixel in the final result. 

 

Sure, all I really want is better 1080p. But if I can't have that anytime soon from a Panasonic body, I'll take higher definition that I can then MAKE into a better 1080p. Either way it's a win... however it unfortunately won't help much with dynamic range.
