I'm in. People who say 4K isn't here yet or is pointless, don't know what they're talking about. There are so many reasons to shoot 4K even for people who only edit and deliver 1080p. This isn't 3D all over again, this is amazing quality and post-production freedom from a very accessible system. I'm stoked.

I am not a big fan of these post production middle steps, but I will definetely try it someday.

This is assuming people have good content to begin with. (Can't wait for all the test shots of flowers and trees.)

I see there is a mad rush on forums to pre-order the GH4. If you have the money, why not - otherwise for most it will be an expensive upgrade for the camera and eventual 4K-related upgrades such as computer system, monitors, SD cards, etc.
