How large can you print with the GH4 Question by Roberto Facchini

How large can you print with the GH4 Question by Roberto Facchini

Good morning,

I follow with interest your web site. I am seriously thinking of switching from a Canon FF system with L-series lenses to a M4/3 Panasonic (GH4).
I photography especially nature: landscapes, macro and wildlife. I wonder if the M4/3 is also suitable for landscapes. I like landscapes with many details, especially vegetation, which then I can print also in large formats , as 1.5 meters x 80 centimeters. What is your opinion? Thank you.

You known landscape photographers who use the M4/3? They have websites where I can see photos?

Best regards,
Roberto Facchini

Robert,

That is a great question and one that I’m curious about as well.  I recently printed an image that was 24×36 inches or aprox. 60×91 centimeters and it is spectacular. Even so, that print is considerably smaller than what you are interested in. I think this question can be answered by me doing some tests.

So stay tuned and check back here on the Blog. I plan to shoot some landscapes in the next week. I will use the GH4 with the Lumix 12-35mm lens as well as a Nikon D800 with a Nikkor 24-70mm lens.

We’ll get some images and then print the results out with my HP Z3200 printer at the size you requested. We’ll then do some print peeping and see what we come up with.
