The Panasonic GH4 - Old and useless or still a good choice?

The Panasonic GH4 - Old and useless or still a good choice?

What? A video about the Panasonic GH4 in 2021? Really???
YES!
The camera market is wild. Every week new gear comes out and with every new piece of gear we tend to think that our older stuff is outdated.
But just because there are new devices, their predecessors don't have to be bad necessarily.
The GH4 was my first DSLM and I loved it. No joke!
And therefore it's only fair to ask this question? Is the GH4 still a solid device in 2021?

I'm still shooting low budget full feature films with my GH4. I just bought it on 2020 after loosing my Canon 7D with a 5 lens set while on location to shoot a movie. And I love it!

If you hook up a gh4 to the image app on an ipad, activate the zoom function on the ipad settings, you can then enlarge the monitor window to fill the whole ipad screen using three fingers, basically turning the ipad into a full screen monitor.

Last weekend I met a photographer who still uses the GH4 and he makes a living from it.

I'm shooting with GH4 and I'm sticking to it. So far it seems like none of newer Lumixes are vastly better in lowlight and the other thing I would need is in body stabilization. A good one. Honestly when it comes to 1080p even GH2 is still killer and in some cases better than GH4 (it's less noisy in the shadows for some reason). I don't want to switch to Sony, so unless GH6 comes with good in body stabilization, I'm not buying anything new for a long, long time.

I just filmed a two-hour-long meeting using a GH4. It worked fine.

Unless you have the Metabones Speeds booster and a low light lens. I have gotten some good low light footage run and gun stuff . My go to lens for this camera Canon 24-70mm, 16-35mm Sigma 18-35, Nikon 35mm .. Awesome channel !

I'm just starting to delve into pro-video work, shadowing an independent filmmaker. I've been thinking of getting a used camera on the cheap (not for client work, but just to learn with as my first video-focused camera). There's an opportunity to buy a used GH4 from a friend - it's in great condition - for about 180 euro. Should I just jump at it or wait for another deal? I don't have much of a budget, so I know I won't be able to afford a secondhand GH5 / equivalent for quite a while, even if the prices get cut when the GH6 rolls around.

Can you tell me if I can do tethering in lightroom with the gh4 or if there is any program that does this?

The only thing I'd switch to is the XT3 but I don't have the money. The only issue I have is it's hard to find good cages where I am

I love my 80d, but I'm thinking of getting a gh4 for the synchro scan, I'd love to get a gh5 or gh5s but they are too expensive and I can't justify buying them just for the synchro scan (as I don't need 4k60 all that much)

i making photos and video with this with pro olympus lenses. this is ultra powerfull toll to make manual work and force to make good lighting situations. this is good enough for pro work
