Yep, in December. I guess it will be released exactly on the date GH3 finally will be available in shops.

GH5, this year. Its joke? I'm saving for GH7.

Weeks ago was saying half joke and half serious already working in GH5, truth is stranger than fiction.

Take out that morning for me, so I bought the E-M5 and GH3 half of what they cost today.

What is the camera you anticipate the most this year Vitaliy?

Pentax ones :-)

What kind of magazine does the screenshot show btw? (i just see its from pentax forum, but it looks kinda worn out, like it had been toilet literature for weeks :) )

it is Nippon magazine as I remember

how can that possibly be true gh5 in december? surely they will let the gh3 have its time in the sun ?! i thought they would refresh it much later like next march?... the fuji xe-2 seems very quick too???

this makes my decision to drop a fat wad of cash on a gh3 difficult if the gh5 then is just around the corner with 4k and other significant improvements (like panasonics new splitter sensor technology) ... hmmmm

ok, so what happened to the gh4? is gh5 a typo possibly?

I dont think that Panasonic would be so dumb to release a new camera yet. I am sure they want to profit from the GH3, otherwise a new gh5 with 4k would make the GH3 redudant. Maybe in Dec 2014.

@L1N3ARX They aren't having any trouble with PS4 lol

Hmm, they first must sell a lot of GH3, than GH3 must be hacked, after our feedback they will come out with GH5 :-)

Can we make a wish list of features already on this thread or it must be new thread ?

I guess if this really is the case I'm going to sell my gh3 while it still has high value lol

I'm really skeptical we are moving towards 4k this soon. Cameras usually are the last step, Canon 1D C seems an anomally to me. Even if it was the rule, that would mean to me we are taking that "old" photography resolution stupid race approach in video too. And that would be a shame when there are other things so much more important to improve, in my very modest opinion.

@GH2UW There's already a 4k DSLR 8 bit 4:2:2. I'm talking about Canon 1DC. If you think that's better than Blackmagic's 12 bit RAW, and that's general opinion, then at last I can say I don't understand the human race at all. I hope it's not that way.

Even worse, people might really think it is better after 4k TVs marketing advertisements come through. We are turning towards resolution instead of DR, which would mean we've totally forgotten the etymology of the word "photography". Most people don't give a shit about resolution (prior to marketing brainwashing that is), Full HD is ok and there's no money to spend on upgrading again for most families (and things keep getting worse economically). Also, 4k means more bandwidth when up/downloading to the net. DR differences can be seen even at 360p.

And BTW, I'm not saying resolution isn't something that should be improved in the near future. It's just that I don't see it as a major priority right now, as for "where should 'the seventh art' and the human race evolve to" when there's such limited color info and DR with todays 8 bit cameras.

Making cameras with more DR is where the deal is to me. I don't care about 4k 8 bit at all. And lets hope I don't have to care about it - not at least for the next 3 years. We are getting used to seeing less colours, crushed blacks and clipped whites just in favour of sharpness. And that happens just as the human race is losing its ability to distinguish colours. Daltonism and other color related sight issues are on the rise guys. We shouldn't help that happen even faster.

This far I'm leaving appart real resolution, as even most recent 1080p HDSLRs don't actually have 1080 lines of resolution. Lets keep it that way, you get the point.

Would you chose thinner brushes over a bigger color palette? Yeah, I'm that kind of guy...who sometimes writes after drinking too much beer. Sorry if I'm not making much sense.

i'm glad i have no gh3, mwahaha. what a fail
