Who knows if that is true but looks very exciting.
NAB this year will be 4K crazy.

Yes, I´m very excited what NAB will show us. If the GH4 ships for around $2K, what will BM, Sony, Canon... do with their prices :)?

@PerJohan yes Canon has to come up with something better for a moderate price and avoid crappy 8 Bit codecs - thats so 2012 ;-)

The GH 4k looks just like my GH3 except for the eye-piece.

Dang, I have just too many Canon L Lense. Still waiting for a good 4K true video camera with full auto focus and zoom for action shots. The GH4 rumors does look pretty good.

I really hope Canon brings out something like a XF-405 / XF-205 with 4K and 10 Bit codec or at least a C400 with S35 sensor and 4K.
