Hi /u/BranFlake5 - Good question. In my view, the principal reason is price.

That said, the GH4 has a few other advantages over the A7s besides price and internal 4K:

u/HybridCameraRevoluti · 7 pointsr/Filmmakers

I agree with /u/indieforge. All you'll get out of the 70D is video autofocus and a 30 minute continuous recording limit. The video image quality is the same.

It is just as susceptible to moire, for example, as first generation Canon DSLRs, as seen in this side by side with the 60D:

You might be better off saving up another $800 for a [7D Mark II] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NEWZDRG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00NEWZDRG&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) [Referral Link] (fast video autofocus, moire resistant, 1080/60p, headphone jack - 30 minutes of continuous recording)

If you want to spend less and get more for your money, you might consider switching to a [$1500 GH4 mirrorless] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I9GYG8O/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00I9GYG8O&linkCode=as2&tag=battleforthew-20) [Referral Link] (moire resistant - headphone jack - 4K resolution - hours of continuous recording - 1080/96p - focus peaking - no need for an external viewfinder or EVF - $31 manual adapter for your Canon EF lenses [but not EF-S]).

Here is what this camera can do:

I own this camera and can recommend it without reservation.

Hope this is helpful!

Shane Carruth's "Upstream Color" was shot with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 DSLR camera. A bit more expensive that most phones, and way cheaper than a professional rig, so it'd be a good compromise IMO.

The movie looks great. I'd say that the right gear, in the right hands, is very capable.

u/HybridCamRev · 7 pointsr/videography

/u/stylwen - I started with Nikon and Canon DSLRs and would avoid both for video in 2017.

Below $1000, Nikon DSLRs lack:

u/Xeptix · 6 pointsr/Twitch

It's fine. DSLRs are extremely high quality and are designed for being able to do streaming if that's what you want to use it for. Lots of big streamers use them when they run out of available webcam upgrades.

Edit: Turns out it depends on the individual camera. A "Canon DSLR" which is what most people think of when they hear "DSLR", is not designed for lengthy video recording. Other DSLR cameras which use the same kind of technologies are designed with those tolerances in mind and can be used for streaming. Here's an example: https://www.amazon.com/PANASONIC-Mirrorless-Camera-Megapixels-DMC-GH4KBODY/dp/B00I9GYG8O

u/kabbage123 · 5 pointsr/videography

For around 5k, I'd buy:

Sachtler Flowtech 75 sticks, C100 camera, 24-105 lens, and MKE600 Microphone. The c100 is aging but it is more than sufficient for journalism (and built like a tank). The C100 is on sale at B&H for $1700 today.

For 2.5kish budget, I'd probably get Davis & Sanford Tripod, GH4, Lumix 12-35, Variable ND filter, and MKE600 Microphone

u/awesomefuntimes · 2 pointsr/AfterEffects

It is this camera made by Panasonic.

u/TheLetter10 · 2 pointsr/WaltDisneyWorld

> Panasonic GH4

Holy crap.

http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-GH4KBODY-16-05MP-Mirrorless-Cinematic/dp/B00I9GYG8O

Anyone have $1,700 I can borrow? I'll pay you back next week, promise.

u/pajam · 2 pointsr/OkCupid

The shoe camera is just a cheap point and shoot (cheap as in ~$400). The Canon PowerShot SX50 HS

Although I blurred the background since I had a personal e-mail account opened on the screen and my name was on there. So that post-effect Photoshop blur might make it look nicer because that is causing a possible faux Depth of Field look.

The main photo was taken in studio with a Canon EOS 70D ~$1000 for the body alone. Coworker took the photo as it's a camera for work. Although I do a lot of video, etc. in my free time as well. I'm likely buying the Panasonic GH3 soon.

u/bondjaybond · 1 pointr/Filmmakers

As a Youtuber who's invested in the wrong gear before the right gear, here's a quality list that I've found works for my needs and will likely be great for you.


Camera

Panasonic GH4: This is a great camera that shoots 4K. If you are shoot in 4K, downscale to 1080p, you have the option to reframe and zoom into a closer shot without losing quality. It has a flip out screen so you can see yourself, focus peaking to show you on screen if you're in focus, and can record longer clips (in select modes) than the Canon T3i to make syncing easier. This camera is also great for when you want to deliver in 4K one day.
$1699


AC Power adapter: No worrying about batteries for the indoor shooting. $20


Lens

Panasonic 12-35mm: Versatile lens that gives you great range. $1000


14-42 kit lens: Cheaper alternative. $120


Audio

Zoom H4N: Great recorder for your mics. Monitor each mic's level independently. $250


Rode NTG-2: Shotgun mic. $270


Sennheiser Wireless Lav: Expensive, but great quality. $640


Audio Technica ATR-3350s: Cheap corded lavs with long wires. $30


You'll need one long XLR cable, a light stand to use for the boom, and some kind of shotgun mic shock mount. $60 for all.


Lighting

3-light softbox kit: Great kit, been using it for a year with no issues. I don't use the over head light, as I don't have the space. I can use the light stand to boom or for another light. $170


Neewer CN-160: Small LED light to help light certain situations or to use as a hair light. $30


Tripod

Manfrotto Tripod w/Fluid Head: Great set up, worth the investment, but there are cheaper alternatives. $350


Memory Card

64GB Sandisk Extreme Pro: Great card which will allow for smooth 4K recording. $100

If you have any questions about any of this gear, let me know and good luck with everything!

u/BabyMale · 1 pointr/videography

Thanks again, HybridCamRev.

Yeah, I suppose the difference between a $1k camera vs a $30k+ camera is quite substantial. I think you've convinvced me for the GH4, and it would be a much easier transition (given I still have to figure out how to tinker around with V-Log settings)

So you're saying get the GH4 with V-LOG. So not all GH4's have V-LOG built in? For example, the one on Amazon doesn't have V-LOG? And V-LOG is better to use over the Cinelike D that the GH4 has?

u/AMGp0wer · 1 pointr/gh4

Really? I checked amazon http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-GH4KBODY-Mirrorless-Cinematic-Camera/dp/B00I9GYG8O

It's selling for $1497 new and starting at $1025 used

u/karl_hdn · 1 pointr/DSLR

I have video gear for nikon, canon, blackmagic and panasonic lumix. And if i had to choose only one dslr camera, then I would choose the panasonic lumix gh4 with an adapter to ef-mount. The GH4 can shoot up to 96fps at 1080p! and it can also shoot 4K footage!

The gh4 is on sale right now at amazon.com

Honestly, for the price, look into mirrorless cameras like the current Sony alpha series or Panasonic lumix. They’re great cameras, I’ll link a few in a minute here.

Brands like Rokinon make fairly affordable lenses too.

Edit:

$500

$650

$1000

$1050

Seconding what the other commenter said about buying used. I have a Sony A7s ii that I picked up used for just under a grand and it’s been a great camera for both video and photo purposes. Saving up for a Panasonic GH5s next.

Just make sure you research the the camera best suited for what you’d like to do (video, photography) and make sure the lenses you get fit your camera body or you have an adapter (Sony uses E mount lenses and the Lumix cameras take G or micro 4/3s, for example). Get the right speed SD card (if you get a 4k camera - the write speed should preferably be higher than 95mbps) and figure out the kind of lenses best suited to you (zoom lenses are versatile, but prime lenses tend to have better aperture ranges and depth of field).

There are also tons of blogs and videos that can explain everything you need to know.

u/SneakngIncubus · 1 pointr/leagueoflegends

This is a very good recorder and can go up to 4K- LUMIX

u/doubledipset · 0 pointsr/Psychonaut

Ha totally! I'm probably as full of myself as much as I hate myself. But let me give you the rundown and go in detail:

First - I saw the caption. I stand by what I said about it. Language, man, it's nuanced and important. At first I was certain the piece wasn't yours, especially because it's pretty good.

So - I reverse-imaged your artwork. I glanced through a bunch of deleted reddit threads without any leads until I saw the booty blog. OH SNAP! It's ON now, bitch (was the mentality that motivated me). I went back to the threads, saw the accusations of you being racist, and really flipped my shit. That's the kind of hypocrisy that goes far deeper than race or prejudice. I had to really hit home and hit deep with what I say.

My fury was fierce yet the trail was running cold... At this point all I know is the blog I saw, the post in /r/blackladies, your initials and that you moved to Tampa... Until I saw your web links in the lower left corner of your piece. Again, man - language! The art of? /u/comradepyro said it best - > Bit of an ego there, mate. Anyway, that's how I see your portfolio, CV, etc. It was kind of a thrill, I've never felt like a private eye before! I'm also shocked at how much I found out... Please take this as a wake up call on online privacy! I'm actually a bit freaked out. I've never just "Googled" someone so extensively. Be really careful with any bits of info. I can PM you the details of what else I found if you want.

/u/HarlequinForestFairy said that I "hate you so much" - you pissed me off; there's a difference. And you continue to do it! The way you use language is political - not in terms of Republican/Democrat but in the context of Slavoj Zizek's Violence. I generally agree with you but I'm irritated by the way you say it.

> A person does not truly value their humanity until they experience it being taken away from them.

Totally. Please read Violence though and think about the word "humanity". Selfishness - yeah. By the way, did you know that our species can be traced back to the first hominoid that did not abandon its sick and elderly? Suffering - mmmhhmmm. Kafka, Nietzsche, Van Gogh, so on and so on. Suffering is an odd thing for sure. Is David Foster Wallace less of a writer because his suffering was mental and emotional? See what I mean? "Dehumanization" is one bitch of a word.

I've had a pretty comfortable life. Off the top of my head, I probably experienced 5 "tragedies" (more like first-world problems).

  1. A dog I used to play with attacked a stray cat and her newborn litter when I was 6 yo. I grabbed a stick and started hitting the dog but at the same time I didn't want to hurt him. He just ignored me and kept snapping the kitten's necks. The and ambiguous morality was devastating.

  2. I became aware of myself within my body and began resenting my parents for giving me the pain of consciousness.

  3. My grandfather died.

  4. I read about subjective vs. objective.

  5. I saw that many of my classmates were content within the "Theater" and that our paths would go different ways.

    Lol. Boohoo. I'm a lucky fuck but the sad lil' ENFP within doesn't appreciate it enough and likes to bitch instead. But you sort of proved my point right there and then...

    TL;DR: I'm not hating on your art so don't feel the need to defend it. I'm criticizing your self-importance.

    Anyway,

    Good luck.

  • Mid-cheap: Canon 60D - I have the cheaper version of this one. The skin tones are really good and the colors are robust. If you have any moving shots, you need the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 OS. It's the one I have and it's amazing at 24mm and up. You need a constant F# for video, otherwise the aperture (and exposure) will change if you zoom in low light. If it's mostly steady shots and indoors, get the new 24mm f2.8 STM. If that's too expensive, get this Pentax SMC 50mm 1.7 and a Fotodiox Pentax-K to EOS adapter (I've got this one too, I love it, but direct sunlight will give you lots of flare). And you can always pick up a kit lens used from eBay or KEH.com for shits and giggles.


  • Cheapest: Sony NEX-3N THIS IS SO CHEAP! WTF?? Old but great camera. You can get reaaally nice and cheap Canon FD glass for it and an FD to MFT adapter. Only look at primes - 24mm or 28mm / 50mm / 135mm @ f2.8 or lower. You can also get a Metabones SpeedBooster later on. Heads up: The smaller the camera sensor, the "bigger" it makes each lens. The Canon 60D has an APS-C sensor with a 1.6x crop factor which makes a 28mm roughly 45mm. The Micro-Four/Thirds have an even smaller one that varies between 2x and 3x. I think the NEX-3n is 3x.


  • Baller 4K: Panasonic GH4 I know nothing about this camera except that everyone's crazy about it.
