While not a commercial videographer, I've been wanting a 4K to use with my m43 & Nikkor lenses. The G7 came close (I realize that every camera has short comings). But I love the Range Finder look (Old and Old fashionJ). If the specs on m43 rumors are correct it might be a perfect “B” roll for those who use the Gh4. I am looking at this camera to be my video camera among my EP5/D7000/D7100 and believe that Panasonic might have hit a home run with the GX8 as they did with the Gh4.
These are the rumored specs if you have not seen them:
– Newly developed 20.3MP Live MOS sensor
– Highest sensitivity ISO25600
– Newly developed Venus Engine
– 6 control camera shake correction system “Dual IS”
– Multi-process noise reduction, three-dimensional color control
– 4K Video · 4K photo (30fps)
– 4K photo three modes (4K burst, 4K burst start-stop, 4K pre-burst)
– Large of 2.36 million dot organic EL EVF. Contrast 10000: 1. Magnification 0.77 times
– The back of the monitor organic EL 104 万 dot. Free Angle
– Dust and water. The body is rugged magnesium alloy build
– More easy to hold grip
– High-speed AF which adopted the DFD. AF speed is 0.07 seconds
– Continuous shooting of AF tracking 6 frames / sec.
– Starlight AF corresponding to the darkness of the moonlight of -4EV
– Improved the stability of the video AF
– Maximum speed of mechanical shutter is 1/8000 seconds. 1/16000 seconds with electronic shutter
– Silent shooting to use the electronic shutter
– Synchro speed is 1/250 sec
– Wi-Fi, NFC, QR code connection
