Panasonic GH4

Panasonic-GH4-with-Nikon-50

(Keep in mind, the settings below are specific to this camera, paired with each lens listed below.) You can get decent results from the GH4 (especially with my custom settings) but the lack of IBIS makes it a no-go for me. For the money, I don't currently recommend this camera. I've been testing this in addition to the G7, GX85 and G85, and I would buy a G85, GX85 (or even a G7) before a GH4. The GH4 screen is so inaccurate you need an external monitor for it (the GX85 and G85 are much better).
