Wow that slow mo footage looked awesome on the gh4. Nice review guys. I can't wait to get one to review, I'm on a waiting list for an actual production unit.

Thanks guys--good review as always. I haven't been this excited about a new camera in a while!

[LyndonPatrickSmith]

Great video guys! I appreciate covering both the stills & in-depth video capabilities of this camera. The fly fishing & drumming videos are an awesome bonus!

[akilghosh]

I love how you guys present stuff. Very informative, funny and no pretentiousness or awkwardness. Thumbs up! Would love to see more comparison reviews though.

Thanks for the review, Chris and Jordan! Just pre-ordered our GH4. Wish you guys had a store in Toronto.

[TheFirionus]

Wow, the video quality, even only in 1080p, is absolutely awesome!

Very nice review once again from TheCameraStoreTV 
Seems like the auto focus is lightning quick! Overall, seems like this camera rocks in videos especially the slow-motion footage as well as having the cheapest 4k video shooter in the market.

So proud of you, guys...
You're the it's always a pleasure watching you
Keep the good work

I love how honest his reviews are. Something you wouldnt expect from a company that is selling the camera.

[JohnMFlores]

The best camera videos on the Internets! Thanks for all the hard work...and making it look easy!

lol, the dog at 13:00!  He's like "wait, there's a camera there, this is my one and only chance at fame, I'm just going to sit right here until somebody notices me...stop trying to pull me away, crazy lady, this is my worldwide, 4K youtube debut!"

:D

The shots of Chris fly fishing done on the GH4 were by far the best shots of the test.  The drummer was great as well.   Now I want to go fly fishing.

Great hands-on test guys, this is shaping up to be thee go to camera.

I sold my Canon 5d MK2 yesterday and pre-ordered the GH4. I'm so happy with Panasonic, this GH4 is for many videographers the gift of 2014. New interesting discussions on the web to using the 4K camera as a source material, then down-scaling and transcoding it to either ProRes or Cineform 1080p at 10bit 4:4:4. I will believe that this camera blows many popular dslr out of the water.

Wow, I have been waiting for this, thanks guys.

[OnTheMarkFilms]

By far the best review that I have seen great job.  Got mine on pre-order looking forward to getting my hands on it.

Great review guys, low light tests would be great to see as well!

[inorogNL]

fantastic review! this camera is so desireable 

[AgnostosGnostos]

The Canon 1D-C of 2012 was oriented more to videography but it was very expensive. However the Panasonic GH4 was a the first affordable photo camera that was oriented to 4K videography. Actually this move of Panasonic saved the micro 4/3 mount.

Chris and Jordan, thanx for the review. Very helpful. Can I request you guys to do a short review on Lumix G6 and SONY a3000; its never been too late. I believe they are both very underrated cameras, specially G6...its probably the most creative camera. Pls think about it.
