Re: is GH4 worth $900 more than G7?

Since you only mentioned video, I will only refer to video aspects.

But first, where did you saw the GH4 at $1700 ? It is usually sold for much less.

Being in Europe I love shooting 30 fps at least in daylight, the G7 is not PAL/NTSC switchable. That is a big difference.

The GH4 will get Vlog which the G7 would probably not, and that again can be a big difference.

The G7 lacks the higher bitrates offered by the GH4 and also is missing some format (video container ) options too.

GH4 has way better battery life. Very important for video.

There are probably other differences that we don't know at this time.

But anyway, the fact is newer cameras are always cheaper and better, nothing out of ordinary here.

I'm thinking at my D700 which in 2010 when I had it was the best in image quality and speed and features etc. Now even the m4/3 Olympus E-M1 not only equals it but beats it in almost every aspect.
