I don't even care if they suck another life cycle out of the gh2 sensor, just make a body that can handle a proper cine lens without flexing all over the place. live hdmi out, 4:2:2 8bit is fine for my needs, If I want 10 bit, im going with sony anyways, they seem to get the big picture. AND FOR GOD SAKE, PLEASEEEE, PLEASEEEE, FIX THE F---ING COLOR SHIFT WHEN THE RECORD BUTTON IS PRESSED, my 1999 Panasonic pvdv710, didn't have a color shift, why in gods name in 2014 we cant get the same picture after we press record !!!!!! It might help to know what were going to get after we press record. How in their wacky mind it was ok to release a camera that changes what the image looks like after record is pressed. dahhhhh

I think that in the request for this wish-list, less something very important: a better SEALING !!!! Is not acceptable that the flash trap and the SD Card trap don't have any protections !!!

422 10 bit, better EVF, up to 120fps in HD. Not much to ask.

5 axis inbody image stabilizer would be perfect.... But 422, better evf and 120fps@hd as @nobbystalus states is essential.

This is a wish list, and not a "technically feasible" list, but here's what I'd like to have: a camera that creates both a 4K file and a 1920x1080 file of each take.

Why? I can't afford a computer that can edit 4K video. So, why not let me have a file I can edit? And when I do need a 4K master, I'd have my old footage ready to use.

In the meantime, I guess I could simply create 1920x1080 versions of the 4K files, and edit those. But this'd make it worthwhile to buy the camera now, and upgrade the computer later (instead of having to do it all at once).

@GeoffreyKenner If I were shooting Upstream Color 2: Electric Boogaloo, I would shoot it in 4K. It would yield a really cripsp 2K image.

I really, really, really wish for the Implementation of 3 extra modes:

A Sonic emofeedback camera will recognise your state of mind and when shooting stills or right after pausing the recording of a shot will immediately feedback you with sound and phrases; with (at least) 4k options, i.e.

• EGOTRIPPING - fart sound / 2 Hrs of Philip Blooms advices on any other camera / very laud scream of contempt / etc.
• 50/50 - It's OK seen worst / Keep it as a hobby / sweet mother of jesus, have you seen that ass? / etc.
• SUICIDAL - Oh God, oh God, oh God / You're the man!! / fssshh you're on fire baby!! / etc.
• =(&%$¢∞@£‰¶£∞⁄•{‡ø9u÷{∏/&∞5!!!! Non stop ramdom Tourette mambojambo swearing

A Universe dematerialisation button, obviously with a warning message "Did you save your clips and close your zipper? This option is not undoable... as universe as we know it will no longer exist!"

An Alcoholometer with (at least) 4k submenus, examples

• no point in lying to me, I already know
• no point in telling me the truth, I'm driving anyway
• no point in telling me anything, I'm fucking this bitch (polizei)
• your dragon breath has activated Universe dematerialisation option, thank you for using Pana(fart sound)sonic products

Ergonomics something like this:

@maxr

I always wanted Galaga or Space invaders to be implemented in any piece of gear with display. And wi-fi sync online leader-board that we can keep sticky on the forum. Now that would be great.

Or a "through lens" first person shooter, you have to focus onto an enemy to kill them, like focusing practice game. And leader-board of course .

My wishes or my dreams:

1)Best -Resolution: 2048x1080 from a 4K sensor (down-sampling for a superb quality images that can be used directly in a DCP without upscaling from 1080 or downscaling from 4K) -Sampling: 4:4:4 -14 or 12 bit

2)Average (but still very decent) -2048x1080 from a 2K sensor. -4:2:2 -10bit

3)Bad (It would mean Panasonic only added 4:2:2 sampling compared to a GH2.) -4K -4:2:0 (can become 4:2:2 once you down-sample to 2K) -8bit

Real 24p option, not 23.976 would be awesome too. Better articulated screen with more color balance option to calibrate properly. 100mbs minimum.

Vesku: "lens cap which you can operate without taking it off camera"

inqb8tr: "I don't understand how this could work on an intercahngeable lens camera."

http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2014/01/29/olympus-three-new-micro-four-thirds-lenses-bevy-of-new-accessories-unveiled

In the bottom of page:

"Finally, the Automatic Opening Lens Cap LC-37C is an unusual cap that works only with the new M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ lens. When the camera is switched off, the cap automatically closes. Switch it back on, and the cap opens. Couldn't be easier!"

Something like that.

Uh, except for the finalized body, it looks like Panasonic has already decided on the specs. according to CES reporting. I would assume NAB 2014 will be the unveiling.

I just wonder how good the moire and aliasing from poorly implemented pixel binning will look in 2160p and whether it truly will have a 10 bit codec.

Also doubt it would have a global shutter (absolutely necessary) at the MSRP Panasonic has bandied about.

@thougts2uk

After all GH4 will be a consumer camera for big audience. I think that 4:2:2 and 10bit is left for pro line of Panasonic. GH3 has already very good audio.

I think also that there is and will be a big leap with all generations of GH line. I consider GH3 video and features easily better than hacked GH2 ( I have both).
