Adorama GH4 Deal and B&H Live Webcast Event

There is Panasonic GH4 news from two of my favorite online retailers, Adorama and B&H. First, Adorama.

There's not a lot of discounting on the GH4's $1699.99 list price yet, but the best price out there right now (at least in the US) is this $1697.99 deal at Adorama - it's only a penny off the $1698 price at Amazon - but it includes the usual entry level "kit" of a camera holster, SD card, cleaning kit and screen protector.

Of course, they're backordered right now, but you might as well get some free stuff with your camera when it comes in.

When you do get your hands on your camera, you'll probably want some tips from the experts on how to use it. Over at B&H, they're ofering a free Panasonic GH4 Live Webcast Discussion: "Professional 4K in the Palm of Your Hand" on May 27th from 1 to 3PM Eastern (registration required).

Speakers (and GH4 experts), David Flores, Eduardo Angel and Mathew Frazer will participate in a panel discussion on the camera and answer your questions. This is another great service to the community from B&H, in addition to their excellent educational resources, great prices and customer service. I really like them (and they're not even a sponsor, so I'm not paid to say that :)).

Speaking of sponsors, if anything here has helped you to make a decision to buy a GH4, please click on one of the links or display ads on the site. It won't cost you anything and it will help to keep news about great camera deals coming. This site would not exist if it weren't for your support. Thank you.

First 4K Narrative Short Shot with the Panasonic GH4!

Panasonic Australia posts the first official narrative video shot with the new Panasonic GH4. Shot in 4K, but, sadly, rendered down to 720P for YouTube. Hope they post a downloadable version to Vimeo soon!



...and here's the behind-the-scenes:



Can't wait to get my hands on this camera! If this post has helped you to make a buying decision, please click on one of the links above or the display ad below. It won't cost you anything extra, and it will help keep these blog posts coming. Thanks!

Panasonic G6 Marked Way Down!

Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera - Ready to Shoot

I really couldn't be happier.  The camera recognizes the ADATA 64GB SDXC Card, the Bower batteries and charger seem to work and hold more charge than the battery that came with the camera, the Wooden Camera Hot Shoe and the Kamerar hot shoe extension made it easy to mount the mic, top handle and recorder, and the iris and autofocus on the Oly 11-22 seem to recognize commands from the camera.  The only thing that doesn't work is the trigger on my pistol grip, which works fine on Panasonic cameras, but is clearly not real LANC.  

After doing a little research, I have decided to get a Photography & Cinema pistol grip (without a trigger) and a Pro-Lanc LRC-01.

When I get the step-up ring for the ND filter, we'll get out and shoot some side-by-sides with the GH3!
