Looks like I'm getting GH4

Here is a short 4K UHD clip I shot yesterday with my GH4 :

I just came across this which, despite all the fancy crossfade/editing malarkey, shows quite a cinematic image for the GH4 I thought (Just personal opinion)

As nice an image as my C100s easily, I would have said.

I follow a few persons on Vimeo that deliver outstanding work, below is one done by one of them on a gh4, everyone saying that you can't get a shallow dof or a "cinematic" image from a gh4 either has not shot with the camera and/or does not have the knowledge or experience to use the camera capabilities to it's full extent. Like any other camera it does have it's pro's and cons but in the right hands it can produce some very good results.

He did the same with the GH3

I like the videos Noa linked. The GH4 looks good there. Perhaps at some point a GH4 is in the cards for me, but for now I'm getting the C100....... in fact, I'm getting one today, with a Samuri blade..... the long hunt is over, at least for the time being.

Thanks again for everyones help!

I was not trying to convince you to change your mind Michael :) Just showing you that what I have been saying all along that it's the man behind the camera who knows how to use it that makes the difference.

Remember, whatever you do, do NOT shoot PF24!

I'm waiting for the day Hollywood takes your wisdom seriously and starts replacing the big boys with iPhones.

The truth is Noa, most people besides the ones on this forum wouldn't know the difference between a camcorder and a Red Scarlet or C100. Yes, content is king, and video is two thirds audio.

They could probably make that iphone footage look better then what most can do with their c100 or any other videocamera. :)
