The much-buzzed-about Panasonic Lumix 4K GH4 finally has an official price and release date! Previously, there was speculation that the GH4 would be “under $2,000”. While most believed this meant it would be listed at $1999, today Panasonic gave the official word the 4K GH4 will list for $1,698.
At the time of writing, Panasonic gave the GH4 an official release date of early May 2014. So just after NAB, these cameras should start hitting the shelves of retail locations nationwide.
We also have more information about the YAGH interface (or “brick” or “box” as some are calling it) from Panasonic. The YAGH gives you XLR inputs as well as the ability to output full 4:2:2 10-bit 4K. It will be priced at $1999. If you purchase both the YAGH box and the GH4 together, you can get a discount of almost $400.
You can read more about the Panasonic GH4’s specs and watch sample videos in our previous post.
