Panasonic Lumix GH4 Black 2015
With a 16MP Live MOS sensor and Venus Engine, it records DCI 4K (4096x2160) at 24p with 10-bit HDMI output, all in a weather-sealed magnesium body. The 2.36M-dot OLED viewfinder and fully articulating touchscreen enable versatile shooting, while built-in Wi-Fi and NFC streamline file sharing. Best for budget videographers and run-and-gun shooters who need a tough, compact 4K camera with external monitoring support, though still photographers will be limited by the 34.2 photo score.
