12Jun Panasonic Lumix FZ1000, 4k for $897?

The announcement for the Panasonic FZ1000 happened at midnight last night but it’s been bouncing around the rumor mill for a few weeks now. The Fz1000 looks like it’s designed to compete directly with the Sony RX10. Both cameras are crossover “all in one” super zoom hybrids and both cameras share the same sensor. Where the Panasonic […]

06Jun Komputerbay 128GB SDXC Speed test

I’ve been testing out that Komputerbay 128GB SDXC card with the Panasonic GH4 over the last 3 or 4 days and I haven’t run into any problems with write speeds. Even at 1080p 200Mbit/s the card seems to sail along without any trouble. No dropouts or write issues so far, I might even approve it for paid work […]

05Jun Next GH4 lens buy, the Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8

The most impressive thing about the m4/3 format for me is the size of the lenses. This Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8 is equivalent to my Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS in focal length yet it’s less than half the size and much lighter. With gear this small I can fit 2 or 3 primes, a couple of zooms, and the GH4 into a […]

04Jun Panasonic GH4 $1699 on Ebay

If you’ve been looking for a Panasonic GH4 body but don’t want to pay the current inflated street price of $2000, there are currently a few on ebay at the original MSRP of $1699. Not sure how long they’ll last, so if you want one you might want to jump on it.

04Jun Komputerbay 128GB SDXC card

This Komputerbay 128GB SDXC card showed up on monday and I’ve been giving it a few tests on the Panasonic GH4. At $64 it’s one of the most affordable 128GB SDXC cards on the market and if the advertised “60MB/s Write 90MB/s Read” are accurate, it could be an attractive option. As of right now I’ve […]

03Jun Panasonic GH4 support in Adobe camera raw 8.5 release candidate for CC

If you’ve been using the Panasonic GH4 for stills as well as video you’ll be happy to know that Adobe’s latest Camera raw 8.5 release candidate now supports the GH4 as well as a number of other cameras. While the release candidate is only prerelease software it will at least provide an alternative to the bundled SILKYPIX software […]

29May Canon 55mm f1.2 FD on the Panasonic GH4 raw files

A few of you were asking about the Canon 55mm FD f1.2 lens and what I meant when I said the lens is “slightly softer” and that the lens “lacks a few lens coatings”. So I thought I would give a few examples and post a few raw images from the GH4 so you can get […]

28May Canon 55mm f1.2 FD on the Panasonic GH4

I was half heartedly looking at the Voigtlander 42.5mm f0.95 a few weeks ago as my next m4/3 prime lens purchase and that got me thinking about the Canon 55mm f1.2 prime lens I have in my EOS-M kit. At around $300 used the Canon FD 55mm f1.2 is about $700 less than the Voigtlander 42.5mm […]

27May Panasonic GH4 on a 1/4 20 Mic stand mounting adapter

I know the Panasonic GH4 is a lightweight compact camera, but this really shows how little it takes to support it. I wanted to position the GH4 above a table for some quick 4k hands on product shots, but none of my tripods really allow me to get the camera into the right position. Normally I […]

17May Panasonic 25mm f1.4 lens, a pretty affordable prime.

Even though I picked up the coveted Voigtlander 25mm f0.95 lens I still like to have auto focus when possible. With that in mind I just grabbed the child size Panasonic 25mm f1.4 lens. The Voigtlander will still be my shallow depth of field monster for the Panasonic GH4 but at a price of around $450 used the 25mm […]
