According to 43rumors, Panasonic has a surprise coming for current GH4 owners.
Any guess what that might be?

I'm going to guess 10bit 4:2:2 internal recording.

Wonder what the time frame is for this "surprise"...

I'm going to guess September. Seems like whatever it might be it, that would be a good time to pull something out of their hat to help compete against whatever Canon might be announcing then.
 
Would love:

422 8/10bit internally
pLog Gamma profile
1080 120fps @ 200mbps
4k 48/50/60fps
4k 200mbps
RAW OUTPUT over HDMI

Would guess:
Higher ISO in video 12800

Still its a great camera and i'm certainly not moaning about it. Just dreaming!!

Photokina is next month in Germany so the timing would make sense. Stoked about what Panasonic has in store! It reminds me of what Dave Dugdale said about the difference between Panasonic and Canon. Love these guys.
 
I hope it's just a color style that looks similar in quality to Canon or BMDs color science. I don't have a problem with getting it right in-camera, but it seems like we have to work fairly hard to get awesome skin tones with the color profiles that are in there currently. Funny thing is it's the ONLY flaw I find with the camera, but it's such a big flaw that it could get me to jump ship to something like an A7s. I'm sure Panasonic can fix it through firmware, so I'll hold out a bit longer...

No free lunch with the A7s. That camera has even more settings to play with and it's a lot tougher to shoot with. Not saying it isn't a good camera but it isn't easier. I found you need to do a lot of tweaking with it as well.
