Absolutely love the GH line! I’ve switched to a G9 now, but have used Panasonic’s whole G and GH line for years. No plans of switching away anytime soon 🎥
I needed to watch this. Thanks for the encouragement to keep chugging along with my GH4's. They are honestly still great. Will pick up some Ninjas soon to streamline my workflow.
I still have my GH2 but I also have the GH5 for years now. This line is awesome. You are right. All these cameras out there are so good. Give a Roger Deakins a GH4 and he would still do magic and no one would recognize. Keep on Nigel
The GH4 was a big step up from the GH3, and the G9 is a similar step up from the GH4. And since the GH4 shot dozens of online promos, corporate, a few TVC's and docs over five years, it's pretty darn good.
I/we really appreciate the work you're doing to help those of us who have a lower budget, as I know you could have just "gone full frame" with the S5 and never looked back. You sticking with and teaching about how to produce good quality using lower-priced cameras and lenses shows that you care about more than just yourself as you create videos, and it makes people love you. Even people who do have more money appreciate what you're doing, and it could be that people like to root for the "underdog" and so they appreciate it even if they've moved on. To me, learning how to work on a tight budget is a good skill to acquire, as it means your job/career doesn't tie you to a $30,000+ RED camera, and you can't do your job unless you have a RED camera. In some ways, you sticking with older or l even newer but less expensive gear, puts you ahead of your time, as I see the filmmaking world changing (to accept those who produce on a lower budget) and perhaps soon it won't despise those who can't afford much and are considered fake filmmakers.
Nigel, I LOVE your approach to budget friendly film-making. It's an ethos I share and really enjoy seeing and hearing your experiences with this. I have to agree, while you can use the GH4 to capture 10 bit 422 via an Atomos, it's not really a financially viable scenario these days, given the other alternatives out there for similar prices. Bodies will come and go freely over time, but glass, particularly good glass (whatever that means to each user of it) is worthy of serious research and investment! Be well and stay safe.
I'm so glad to see this posting. Not only am I still using my same GH4 I got a second one recently. Enjoying experimenting with vintage lenses. I have the Metabones Speedbooster for Nikon mount because of the Sigma 18-35, so why not add to the palette.
Well I just spent the last week binging your channel. It’s so refreshing finding someone with the same philosophy as me. I found that you essentially confirmed everything I’ve been finding out for the last 2 years by trial and error. I’m not a content creator, I make narrative short films and have done since 2002. But for a long long time I paid no attention to any kind of technospeak or even basic filming concepts. I essentially winged everything until 2018 I started trying to take things to the next level and actually apply some actual techniques. I did tons of research (and pricing) and tried to figure out what was best for me. I finally settled on the original BMPCC. I found your channel as I was looking for a secondary camera that would match it pretty well and I did settle on the gh4. Why? Because it was loads cheaper than the gh5 which doesn’t seem all that great a step up for the price difference. This was the exact reason I bought the original BMPCC as opposed to the 4K - 600 pounds price difference is not a justifiable reason to buy it, plus I’m a bit of a scrooge. Anyway keep up the good work. At the moment I’m using the rokinon 12mm and practicing on that. Anyway I haven’t bought the gh4 yet, I’m kind of swayed by the canon eos-M from what I’ve seen on that Zeek’s channel. For me it’s about portability.
We just did a video about how we still use an 11 year old Canon 60D for personal projects. Yah 4K is great, but you can still get a killer image from 1080 and some solid glass.
Yes! There are a bunch of people still doing amazing work on a 60D they just may not be saying what they are using. I love my 60D and still use it regularly.
Fantastic video bud, The GH4 is so overlooked now. The specs are still pretty decent and the footage looks pretty good even by today's standards. Have you ever considered trying out an Olympus EM1 Mark II? It's roughly the same cost as the GH4 (maybe $100 or so more but still in the ballpark) I really think you'd really like the footage you can get out of it even if it is only 8-bit.
If I had not killed my GH4 filming the worst storm to hit the UK this century, I'd still be using it today. What I did discover was that the GH4 could not handle vLog at it's 8bit setting. Any attempt at grading and it broke down. cine D was my go-to colour profile. Thankfully my insurance company replaced my GH4+lens with a GH5+lens. Even though I loved the GH4, the upgrade is like night and day. Image quality is superior even with using the exact same lenses on my old GH4 I get to shoot 10bit 4k 25fps in-camera and the included HLG is a great log profile to use if you don't want to pay the Panasonic TAX for vLog. Using a waveform in-camera is a revelation as I've never used one before. With the latest Firmware upgrade, a G9 is basically a GH5 but with the limitation of enforced recording duration. Your Ninja V recorder gets around that little problem. I've had my Ninja V for about 2 months to go with my GH5 and I have not regretted a single second with that expensive purchase. 10bit 4:2:2 4k and 50fps with a ProRes codec. What's not to like with that combo? 😜
Well said, almost poetic and so true. I understand the appeal of typical reviews claiming "this is _the_ best camera" and so on, but the truth is, as you so nicely stated, it all depends on you as a film maker. There is no one shoesize that fits all and there is no camera that suits every film maker. But i love watching your videos and listening to your input and adding that experience and insight to my own. The reason i watch your channel and like your videos is because its understandable and relateable. And they are inspiring. So thank you and best wishes from Norway.
Oh you've got verified. Congratulations!!! I watched the video of your CZcams journey, so inspiring. I'm trying to learn from that & shift focus to how many videos I can make to help other people too :)))
Just found this video in my recommended! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I am really considering buying this camera, very good explanation and break downs. Thank you!!
I've used the GH series since the original one (still got 2 of them). I am mostly using my BMPCC4K but as a secondary cam I use the.. GX85!! That stabilisation is insane and with the right glass you can pull anything out of this 300-400€ camera.
I agree with your points as I believe given the advancements in technology, we as image-makers are showered with a plethora of choices. I am coming from the background of a photographic technologist and camera store manager (from the '70s-'80s). There is too much noise on the web about the latest products and not enough about the making and doing of image-making. I always enjoy your videos, Nigel, as you seem to hit the idea of common sense on the head. Regards from Victoria, British Columbia (I shoot with m4/3rds GX8)
So glad I found your channel-Lumix and Acaia are two of my favorite things! Currently running a GH3 and I've been super annoyed by the viewfinder, so you might've sold me on the GH4
After usinc Canon for many years, the M, D, T, and R lines, I got a Lumix G7. Ever since that, I think Lumix, at least for video, is absolutely top of the line for your dollar.
It feels good to be on the GH4 journey with someone else in 2021, as if it's 2014. I don't usually use LUTS but did by the CINE-D ones, so thanks for that and making videos about it. Any reason you didn't do something like sell your speedbooster and get the GH5 (I have a Nikon Viltrox speed booster and only one lens I've been debating trying to sell myself)? I didn't realize there was the 4k crop which is what I was trying to avoid with other brands as I prefer wide lenses. I'm still more than happy with it anyway.
The upside of the GH4 is no IBIS. IBIS can still move if there is some shake. Top Gear the U.K. car show went back to the GH4 after the GH5 IBIS was shaking. They mounted the GH5 to a snowmobile and the IBIS was shaking like crazy when they drove those snowmobiles fast.
Hey in the lut pack is there a simple conversion lut? or are they all stylized. I want to take advantage of the range of Cine-D but still have other luts I want to put on top of it. Thanks for the great content!
I feel like the better upgrade for you from the GH3 would have been the GH5. No 4k crop, internal 10bit, scopes, etc.... Even though you'd have to pay around $900-1k used you'd save by not "needing" to use your Sigma 18-35 or getting a Ninja V.
I believe it depends a lot on what you're gonna use the camera for, but I really enjoy your approach to these questions. Personally I think I would go for a G80/G85, you can still find it new, you lose the mic port but you gain stabilization. The GH4 was a professional piece of equipment when it was released (while the G80 was not), but right now they're kinda similar.
@@NigelBarros Actually I was wrong, the G80/85 has a mic port, it lacks the headphone jack. Plus, the US version has unlimited recording time, while the European version should have a 30 minutes limit. But still...
@@GiancarloCaminiti You're missing the big thing and @NigelBarros doesn't even talk about it the GH4 shoots DCI 4k internally not UHD 4k like all the other cameras. Also HDMI works while recording don't know if G80/G85 can do that, I know that's the reason I dropped the G7 as a main camera, now it's used as a webcam.
@@MoonDoggie82 That's why I wrote "It depends a lot on what you're gonna use the camera for". Sometimes it doesn't even make sense to shoot 4K to begin with, but in other scenarios it can be a deal breaker.
I’ve been hankering for this since I bought my GH4 a few months back. Will def get the LUTS, and thanks for the content. And y’all should subscribe, LOL...or even become a patron!
I have a GH4 that I use for CZcams. It's really a great tool! I would really love if it had better low light performance and better colors. It always comes out rather magenta for some reason.
Great video mate. I remember years back when I wanted to get in to video I had my eye on a GH4 but it was well out my price range. I started with a used canon 70d. It obviously had its limitations but was a great learning tool for me and as you say, so much comes down to lighting and good glass too. Still, tempting to pick up a gh4 these days as it seems to be such a solid camera. Also, just a small heads up on the LUTs link. You might wanna remove the caps in the URL or it doesn't work. Figured out after I copied and pasted it :) On that note, have you done any videos on creating LUTs or have any in particular you'd recommend. It's something I really want to get in to. Colour grading skills are something I really want to work on.
Just bought the Cine D Lut Pack. Two questions for best results -What Profile settings are you using in Cine D? Are you using these LUTS as input LUTS? I'll be following any GH4 vids you post.
i'm saving up for a panasonic g85. been wanting it for over a year now, but I wasn't working much, and when I started working again I got covid, now i'm playing catch up on bills, i'm hoping by next spring I can get a new camera.
I own a BMD 7” video assist and a couple of Gh4’s. The Video assist supports 10bit pro res but adds so much bulk. Have you found the ninja essential for your GH4? Would love to see a video on best practice settings for video and stabilization methods for Gh4 owners. Thanks! Keep up these videos man.
Still like the fact that you still choose 1080P. It goes a long way and I have to agree with Viva Media Inc who commented below, they said "4k is great, but you can still get killer image from 1080 and some solid glass.
Oh I have! The main thing that turned me away was the hdmi crop and the lack of headphone, a lot of the work I do requires me to monitor my audio properly
You don't need a $600 dollar metabones speedbooster, I picked up a Viltrox .71 speedbooster for $150. Used it on My Lumix G7, then I picked up the GH4 for the DCI4k and on jobs where we used BMPCC4k. It does everything the metabones adapter does but you don't have to pay that outrageous price for just the name.
Seconded. Been using the Viltrox .71 EF/MFT adapter for a couple years now and it's been great. $120 on ebay, so can keep that budget under $600 w/GH4 total if you're lucky! You can even adjust for infinity focus on wider lenses like the Tokina 11-16 by rotating the inner lens element on the Viltrox, no tools required.
Yeah I’ve owned the viltrox before and the main reason I went with metabones is because they offer the 0.64x XL version which gives me more or my wide end back on my lenses
How would your LUTs match up with Panasonic's full-frame cameras? Just ordered an S5, just wondering if they would look similar, or are there more considerations to make with a LUT made for a M43 sensor?
@@VijitChandna where I live it's on Amazon @ 35k₹ but during the lockdown it went up to 41k₹. It went back to 35k and now it's at 39k. So next month I'll wait for it to drop to 35k and then I'll buy it.
A6400 is the best beginner video camera if you are an absolute beginner !! You have great quality image and all the pro settings to play around under 1300$ with a prime lens ✨️
Because "micro-loser sensors" don't have lowlight performance that rivals that of aps c or full frame. Additionally, Panasonic isn't doing the m4/3 name any justice with their bad autofocus systems. On top of that, there are many people on CZcams that are full frame supremacists with a bokeh fetish. Bokeh isn't believed to be obtainable on m4/3... despite the clear evidence that literally shows it is. I can go on with my meme rant, but I gotta do my homework. - G9 x Olympus lens user
@@mishalchowdhury5610 The G7 is better for video if you manual focus. A6000 is great for taking high definition pictures. A6000 might overheat though. Both are excellent if you can find them at good prices/condition.

Only film making channel on CZcams not pimping new gear - Bravo! Story over gear! Love my gh5 with the viltrox and helios 58mm vintage.
Absolutely love the GH line! I’ve switched to a G9 now, but have used Panasonic’s whole G and GH line for years. No plans of switching away anytime soon 🎥
I did almost the same😂 had a gh4 for 5 years and just switched to a g9 for the image stabilisation primarily
I still have mine and still use it at time. All you need is a great lens
Do you by any chance have a spare lens, I broke mine a few days ago and I can’t afford a new one yet
I needed to watch this. Thanks for the encouragement to keep chugging along with my GH4's. They are honestly still great. Will pick up some Ninjas soon to streamline my workflow.

It’s always cool to hear your take on filmmaking gear dude! The footage from the GH4 looks insanely good!
Appreciate that a lot!

My current camera! Was inspired to pick it up last year from watching all your GH3 stuff
I bought the GH4 used in the summer of 2019 and really like it, use it everyday with some old glass.

It does everything the metabones adapter does but you don't have to pay that outrageous price for just the name.
Seconded. Been using the Viltrox .71 EF/MFT adapter for a couple years now and it's been great. $120 on ebay, so can keep that budget under $600 w/GH4 total if you're lucky!
You can even adjust for infinity focus on wider lenses like the Tokina 11-16 by rotating the inner lens element on the Viltrox, no tools required.
Yeah I’ve owned the viltrox before and the main reason I went with metabones is because they offer the 0.64x XL version which gives me more or my wide end back on my lenses
Well explained 👏
I really like this Camera very user friendly
There is a bug in the GH4 audio goes out of sync after a few seconds. Most prior never noticed it. Dave Dugdale made a video about.
Another great video
How would your LUTs match up with Panasonic's full-frame cameras? Just ordered an S5, just wondering if they would look similar, or are there more considerations to make with a LUT made for a M43 sensor?
Hi Nigel! Your combo Sigma 18-35 + SpeedBooster works on a GH3?
Hi Nigel!
I’m going to buy Panasonic GH4. So can you suggest me some affordable lens for beginner level?
Tq.
Second this. Hoping you’d reply!
@@shinzjl sorry… I don’t get it?
@@JohnDurairaj not you my friend. Nigel hahah I am also intending to buy gh4/5 or g85!
I was one of those that hadn't subscribe. But I did it now. question ❓ your outs for cine d, do you think those will work on the gh5
Nice video.
GH lineup is sooo good except the crappy autofocus and 3/4 sensor!
I’m getting into photography and I currently just bought my first camera (Canon 100D) good or nah?
As a MFT shooter you have to be waiting for the GH6 to make that final decision, no?
Bro can you make a video on nailing manual focus?
damn you were really stretching the dr of the gh4 in the intro sequences lol
im hoping to get the g7....one day
Great camera!!
Same. I'm waiting for the next month and hoping for a price drop.
@@subhojitsengupta2094 why is there supposed to be a price drop?
@@VijitChandna where I live it's on Amazon @ 35k₹ but during the lockdown it went up to 41k₹. It went back to 35k and now it's at 39k. So next month I'll wait for it to drop to 35k and then I'll buy it.
@@subhojitsengupta2094 oh cool, I'm in india too! Thanks for the tip
Almost 100% of the comments: it's great but I sold it! LOL
The lighting is better than my life
is good idea to buy two gh4 instead one gh5 ?
A6400 is the best beginner video camera if you are an absolute beginner !! You have great quality image and all the pro settings to play around under 1300$ with a prime lens ✨️
Hi Nigel can u recommend cage for gh4 movcam not available now but maybe i'm go wrong
Do you recommend G85 for 2021?
.. or the gx80/gx85. Great cameras.
Been testing out the gx85 for a couple weeks now, love it!
You should REALLY look at the EOS M
How do I find that viewfinder on Amazon?
Still using my G6 here. 😆
Me too what did cards do u use
is ot original or you did colour grading ?
Why do I get absolutely terrible quality on CZcams from my Canon M50? Is there such a big difference between a GH4 and an M50?
New mic?
Personally, I ended up with the GX8, but 70% of what I do with a camera are photo's nowadays...
I’ve heard it’s got essentially the same image out of it and a nice rangefinder form factor which is cool!
what is the model of that cage?
Excelente saludos 👌
Hey there , HEY , i need some help , some advice
You r a panasonic g series master....
only full frame brothers!
Welll..gh4 is better!! haha,, great video!
Panasonic
why poeple say m4/3 bad???
Because "micro-loser sensors" don't have lowlight performance that rivals that of aps c or full frame. Additionally, Panasonic isn't doing the m4/3 name any justice with their bad autofocus systems. On top of that, there are many people on CZcams that are full frame supremacists with a bokeh fetish. Bokeh isn't believed to be obtainable on m4/3... despite the clear evidence that literally shows it is. I can go on with my meme rant, but I gotta do my homework.

@@basilisk_eater bruhhhh confused between A6000 and G7!!
@@mishalchowdhury5610 The G7 is better for video if you manual focus. A6000 is great for taking high definition pictures. A6000 might overheat though. Both are excellent if you can find them at good prices/condition.
No IBIS, no 4K at 60fps. Its almost a standard in 2023 so yeah, i wouldnt buy it. GH5 is the way to go.
