Panasonic’s 4K GH4 Priced at $1,699: Shipping Late April/Early May

Ever since Panasonic teased us with a prototype GH4 at CES 2014, the video community was overrun with excitement of an affordable 4K video solution with cinematic quality but the questions were , how much and when? 

The rumor was that the GH4 body would be priced right around $2,000 for the body (which seemed reasonable) but much to our surprise, pre-orders which went up early this morning let us know that it’s priced a few hundred dollars cheaper at $1,699.99. Keep in mind, that’s body only but regardless, full 4K video at that price is incredible.

The GH4 also features a 16 megapixel sensor, 49 point AF and a multitude of video options, which include an awesome 60p/1080p mode for slow-motion video. If you want to check out a video sample of what this little guy is capable of, check out the video quality sample below. Let us know what you think of the quality and if you plan on picking one up! We’ll definitely be getting one in the TOT labs and hopefully if we like it enough, it’ll help bring 4K video content your way. You can also pre-order the GH4 here.
