Great build quality and user comfort, High calibre stills and video capturing, Packed with features
Can take a while to get used to all its buttons and settings, but that's the case with all high-end cameras
The Lumix DMC-GH4 is a great overall unit that we enjoyed using, primarily because of its build quality and performance. It's a top model to consider if you're looking for a new high-end shooter with advanced hybrid (stills and video) abilities...

There's really nothing for it but to give Panasonic a loud round of applause for the Lumix GH4. It's a masterpiece and it will undoubtedly have rivals banging on the doors of their product planning departments, demanding action. On the video side, the GH4...

From the start we felt the GH4 could be the most significant camera Panasonic has released so far, and after using it for almost two weeks we believe it will be a genuine game-changer. Not only is it a superior performer for still image capture, but to of...
Finally, there will be conjecture no doubt about why one would purchase a camera with 4K capability when 4K viewing has not as yet had a major uptake (via sales of 4K TVs for example). There are three basic counters to this with the first being that by g...
