....just got a fz1000 to serve as bcam for my gh4 in a 4k film shoot. Feels like a perfect combination.i just needed more batteries for the fz1000. luckily i still have extra batteries from my 2 hack gh2.Cant beleve am in 4k territory, a leap from the dvx days 7 years ago.
 
....anyone use this camera as b cam? whats your setup for Cine D ? How come I use it more than my GH4 in ordinary days? I think its the most underrated 4k camera.
 
I do live event recording. I bought a FZ1000 for a B cam, to go with my GH4. It works fine, just have to push record every thirty mins.. After months of trial and error on my GH4 I have started using Natural profile. It comes out (of both) cameras almost ready to send to clients, very little post needed. Cine-d takes way too much time to 'correct' in post, natural is ready to go...
 
Billy,
You don't like Cine-V (as opposed to D)?

What quality differences do folks see when comparing footage from both cams?

I see the FZ1000 has much lower bit rate max at 1080..wonder how much visible difference between the 2 in 1080 native shooting. Fortunately the same bit rate at 4k. And if scaling 4k down to 1080 always looks better, only an issue when handing off Q&D footage etc.
