These guys primarily focus [heh, heh] on still photography, but here's their video review of the Panasonic GH4. Others may find it interesting - particularly the comparisons with Canon & the Moire discussion.

I get a kick out of their warped sense of humor.

Nice.

I would like to see some graded footage of the GH4.
To absorve its cinematic look possiblities.

I like the look of Canon Cinema cameras.
But they are more expensive than the GH4, so it would be great if similar look can be produced with the GH4.

you can flatten the crap out of the GH4. I doubt if it is technically proper S-Log, or whatever it is called, but it has some built in LUT style settings where you can lift or lower blacks or highlights with a 0 to 5 curve, together,, seperately, and save as presets. I have not tested enough to see how clean this ends up on the 8 bit recordings, and realistically, one has to balance flat contrasting with what you are left with in 8 bit and make sure you are not hurting the end result by flattening too much.

But, yes, you can flatten the GH4. Hopefully, the color tone on those canon C series is not so red/orange like their DSLR, but so far, GH4 isn't suffering from that. The color just looks SO RIGHT most of the time coming out of it.
