Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 11, 2014 Administrators Share Posted April 11, 2014 Also the highly anticipated Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM ART now has a price - this will be an exceptional piece of glass to use on the GH4 with Speed Booster pre-order the Nikon mount version at B&H for $995 or the Canon mount version This shot by EOSHD forum member Julian confirms that Panasonic have now completed the final production firmware for the GH4 (version 1.0). The unit pictured above was loaned to Julian but it is a good sign the camera will be shipping on time from stores - possibly by the end of this month in less than 2 weeks.Read the full article here jurgen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnymossville Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Andrew, how are you controlling the iris on these Sigma's? oops, nevermind, the metabones has aperture control. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitz Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I think I remember you saying that the 96fps option was looked more like 720p and wasn't the same quality as the other frame-rates? Can you confirm this, and has it been addressed in the final firmware maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymossville Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 So it looks like Panasonic will be hitting it's shipping date of the 24th then. I hope they made enough. I remember how hard it was to come by a GH2 when they came out. It was agonizing. jurgen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktide Media Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I got to try the 96fps at NAB, it wasnt bad but not as sharp as the HD. The normal HD is crazy sharp with loads of detail. Cant wait to see 4K on this thing. I think with the right setting the 96fps can look just fine once color and sharpen is done. Its got a good slow mo effect and most people will no notice the softness if the subject is good. johnnymossville 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangenz Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 So for someone with no existing glass, which metabones would be preferable? Nikon or Canon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Hughes Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 So for someone with no existing glass, which metabones would be preferable? Nikon or Canon? Unfortunaly, there's not currently an EF to MFT metabones adapter available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Wait Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I really hope (also) that Panasonic are knocking them out at a rapid rate for launch! :-) One thing I thought of last night was the HDMI output... So...you can record 4K to the internal card and this will limit the HDMI to the same 8bit 4:2:0. But you can set the HDMI output to 1080 (so we can still use our external viewers/records) But how I wonder does the camera generates this real time downsample to 1080? Line Skipping? Pixel Binning?

nazdar Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 When was 96fps dumped? I cant find it europe specifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 13, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted April 13, 2014 When was 96fps dumped? I cant find it europe specifications. Not dumped. It isn't in the output video frame rate specs, it is part of the Variable Frame Rate menus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varicam Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I am a newbie in photography and want to get a GH4 with a good lens. So this glass needs an adapter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeeth123 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I am a newbie in photography and want to get a GH4 with a good lens. So this glass needs an adapter? Not necessarily. There's a wide array of great micro 4/3 glass out there that will work natively on the GH4. In fact, that's really the only way to get full electronic control (aperture and auto focus) with this camera. However, yes you would need an adapter to use any other kind of lens mount (nikon, PL, canon, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the LUMIX G X VARIO standard zoom lens be a good all-purpose lens for video and stills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Tapp Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks for all of the tests and posts on the GH4. I'm planning on getting a speedbooster for the Gh4 and shooting with some vintage lenses. I am new to the whole vintage lens and converter game. I shoot stills so auto features on lenses would be a huge help. Which speedbooster mount would be the most compatible with other lenses?
