<p>Panasonic Lumix GH4 First Look The mysterious 4K-shooting Lumix behind glass at CES has been revealed to be the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4. Richard Sibley takes a first look</p><p>The new Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4 is the successor to the GH3, and comes sporting a brand new sensor. While its 16.05MP resolution is identical to that of its excellent predecessor, Panasonic informs us that the new sensor has new semi-conductor protection technology in other areas designed to reduce image noise and improve dynamic range.</p><p>Also helping improve performance is a new quad-core image processing system in Panasonic's Venus Engine, which provides an increase in max ISO to 25,600 and burst shooting of up to 12fps, or 7.5fps with continuous focusing.</p><p>Of course, the big news everyone will be talking about with the GH4 is video, specifically its ability to shoot 4K video at a resolution of 4096x2160 pixels and a maximum frame rate of 96fps. The level of quality the GH4 can achieve is phenomenal - the video it captures can have a bit rate of up to 200Mbps, far exceeding the 73Mbps bit rate captured by the GH3. It's good enough that it could be used by 4K television broadcasters.</p><p><a href="http://www.whatdigitalcamera.com/equipment/reviews/compactsystemcameras/129788/1/panasonic-lumix-dmc-gh4.html">Keep reading...</a></p>
