GH4 New footage

That was some of the most gorgeous footage I have ever seen of a full grown middle aged man running around in his underwear and THANK GOD it was in slo-mo....LAMO!!

Some some good and some not so good things.....its so hard to tell with YouTube footage.

LOL!.. Actually it wasn't trolling, it's actual GH4 slo-mo footage posted by Panasonic....but for some odd reason they decided to start the video with footage of a guy running in, what I initially that was underwear but was actually his speedo's on the beach...in slo-mo....lol


It's all good, just goofing around....my apologies if I was a little misleading with my post

There's a whole class of 'beach attire' I'd rather be watching than some dude in a speedo...
 
After two or so minutes of beach the bs -- as soon as you hit the shops (you know, the very last two clips) -- there's aliasing all over the place. This was exactly my fear as to why almost no 1080 footage has been released.
 
Maybe it's me but something isn't right about that video. It's seems like a fake. The user account has one video and the the description is also not very "Panasonic". The video itself is just strange. Nothing compared to the ones Panasonic released originally. The only high frame rate shot that makes sense is the man in the bikini running. Just seems very odd to me. The sky had a ton of banding. Compression does this too so hard to judge.

One thing I have learned over the years… Is never judge a camera by footage posted to Youtube!

It's a good rule to not judge ultimate quality...
Still though, one can compare like for like with vimeo/you tube clips and say camera X looks good and camera Y doesn't look as good. So far, not one GH4 clip has been anything to write home about just in my own humble opinion. But it's early yet.

Yeah, that's cute -- but -- 1080 video encoded to Youtube and then viewed at 1080 on a true 1080 production display doesn't invent aliasing. And, there's been a severe lack of 1080 footage released from the GH4.

So, I'm glad you're the one deciding "pro" rules -- but -- there's a lot of silence about 1080 on the GH4.
 
The video has tons of aliasing...
If that´s really GH4 Slomo footage, it has the same problem as 240 FPS FS700 stuff. Looks just the same.

As long as 1080p/60 looks good, I´m still in.
But if that´s the amount of aliasing you get when recording 1080 generally...no, that can´t be. They won´t mess it up like that!

One thing I have found is that no matter how pristine a video may be originally, once it is re-compressed to fit on Youtube and like sites, it is no longer possible to judge the original quality of the footage. But hey, that's just me and my crazy opinion. It's also why I'll wait till I get the GH4 into my own hands for testing before I pass final judgment, like I do with any camera I am considering shooting with.

All the Best!

Not just you... the account seems fishy. Everything on the channel page is in English, but the banner is in Spanish (French? Italian?). You would think that Panasonic would post this video to the same page they've posted every single other GH4 video, too.

The url in the banner is a Brazilian url, so I'm assuming that it's legitimate, and that international divisions of Panasonic operate with some autonomy. This, and the wedding shoot, which also has some issues, is oddly reminiscent of the Kyoto shoot prior to the rollout of the AF100. Cameras were given to some key opinion leaders, who didn't have the time or instruction to optimize settings, and the resulting footage was heavily criticized. I still feel pretty good that in the right hands, with the right settings, the GH4 will be a great camera.
 
That note about 13 stops... most likely referring to external recording. Id highly doubt the internal codec would provide that.
