I really like my GH3 and have a GH4 ordered. My questions and wish list: Why not? UH-2 SD card interface, USB 3, HDMI 2, No limit on options to program Fn buttons, 4k at P60, 1080 P120, H.265, 2 battery add on grip, Affordable 1920x1080 (native) field monitor (F970 battery option), Wide angle 7-14 f/2.8 lens, 10-100 Power Zoom lens optimized for Video.
Is there a technical reason Panasonic crops its raw files when choosing a non 4x3 aspect ratio when shooting stills? Could this be made an option in firmware to allow the fullsize raw image to be stored when selecting a different format for compositional purposes, say when shooting raw+jpeg?
Reminder. This thread will be closing soon. Keep a lookout for the forthcoming answers from a compilation of these questions in a new thread appearing in personal-view in the very near future.
Probably rehashing, but..
any chance of ibis in gh5? why no 4/2/2 10-bit in camera? why no minimum shutterspeed w/auto iso?
Related to @igorek7 suggestion, when will Panasonic incorporate the newly announced USB 3.1 universal connector (doesn't make any difference which way it is plugged in, similar to the iPhone 5 and later connector)? Will Panasonic be a leader with it or wait until it is "established"?
I'll add more serious question.
How about GH4s (s comes from "secondary"). Same camera, same body, but lacking both internal EVF and screen, and with added connector for external Wi-Fi antennas (to allow long range operation).
My couple of questions related to the Panasonic m43 cameras.
Any plans for the USB3 port? How about to provide an application programming interface (API] for tethering via WiFi and USB ports?
Any plans for a MFT camera with support of external GH4-type EVF? Can the external EVF be sold together with a camera as a kit option (with some discount)?
Is it possible that GH4 could ever record Cinema DNG in 8-bit 1080p?
Here's my question, why all the crappy batteries? Isn't this bad for the environment?
@exhardy switch to manual exposure?
Is there anyway to disable the 12-35mm exposure changes while zooming, eg provide a function to lock physical aperture?
PS: I noticed that the 12-35 isn't a real constant aperture lens that Panasonic forced it to close down at the wide end, during a video shoot, slow zooming on the lens makes exposure jumps that is so disturbing.
-Highly customisable picture profile software: supporting LUT and 2880x2160 mode(desqueeze in post).
The GH4 seems to have a very complete package. Pretty great actually and already very little to be desired.
Here is my list coming from GH2. I don't know if these things already exist on GH4/GH3/GX7 I've used Magic Lantern a lot before and some features I really miss.
With regards to the future GH5 and all that may follow:
Thank you.
I would like to ask :
thanks
@maxr - Ditto on the color shifting with timelapse. I see it even in RAW pics.
I am constantly changing the settings on my G6 because the fn buttons are too easily pressed (especially when used for still photography in portrait orientation). I would like to see an option to require that two buttons must be simultaneously depressed before a setting is changed. Would this be possible with a firmware update?
I really enjoy using the DMW-GWC1 wide angle adapter but it does introduce some distortion which is not corrected in-camera like with other Panasonic lenses. Would it be possible to add a menu option so we can "tell" the camera when the DMW-GWC1 is attached and have the camera correct the distortion?
Probably has been pointed out already, but regarding the GH3 I would really like to know:
This are just suggestions (4 firmware):
Thank you so much Nick =)
Could Panasonic consider making electronic EF-m43 lens adapter-focal reducer?
Can you ask if LUTs can be loaded in camera besides the cine-D and Cine-V. Thanks
Will panasonic create a YAGH system with just XLR and battery grip ?
+1 @CFreak "Any plans for a servo powered zoom, like on an ENG camera ?"
What will be next to replace AF101 in the future ?
There are many useful suggestions in this thread. Since Nick has the attention of Mr. Koyama, it would be foolish to waste this opportunity. I propose that Nick submit two documents - a list of questions and a list of suggestions, with a note that Mr. Koyama need not respond to the suggestions at this time.
Sound reasonable?
So many in this thread just sound greedy and or clueless whiners.
For me - looks ok.
Btw, if it was not asked yet:
Sorry, could not resist.
So many in this thread just sound greedy and or clueless whiners.
I am going to buy YAGH just to take it to pieces and convince myself that most of YAGH's inside is empty space. After that I am going to throw it away.
1) Is Panasonic aware of loosing key advantage of m43: p o r t a b i l i t y ? (YAGH 'brick' case) 2) Is Panasonic aware of loosing portability due to 4:2:0 internal codec?
