I'm sure you guys have seen the announcement for the G7 (800$ 4k camera). http://www.wired.com/2015/05/panasonics-lumix-g7-offers-affordable-intro-4k/

I've heard a lot of people saying it will be a good backup to the GH4, but do you guys think its BETTER than the gh3?

For VIDEO purposes I think the gh3 might still hold an edge (weather sealed, wifi, higher bit rates, no stop record times) , but I would love some input .

4K could be cool, but obviously you'll need more memory.

One thing that is really better on g7 is focus peaking which is absent on gh3.

If you want 4k just get a gh4.

g7 has the same 4k capabilities as the gh4 (same bitrate/framerate I think), but its 1080p is limited to like 28mbps or something. It also has a different sensor, although i'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing
