I think Fuji missed a trick here anyway and should only have half announced this camera. -
Even then, I very much doubt I will as I work with 3 (video) cameras and only 1 of them would need to full frame 6k 50p OG and that would be the one in my hand/monopod and the S5 body is a wee bit too heavy for my liking. I mean it's not like it's a beast or anything, but now I am using the S9 in that role, it's actually a surprising difference. Or could also be the fact that I have a very slim baseplate on the S9 whereas it was a Smallrig cage on the S5ii and using the f1.8 primes rather than the f2.8 Sigma 28-70, so all in, maybe around .5kg difference. Otherwise I am just one camera away from a switch to Sony or Nikon because then I can drop 1 body and 4 lenses from my current 5 body 9 lens combo for stills and video...which is pretty considerable! I can't do it with L Mount in any combo of Lumix/Leica/Sigma.

And do, but mostly because I think the footage just looks better than the 4k. My A7RV will shoot 8k but never even tried video on it. Or my Nikon, even though the 4k out of the Zf is supposed to be pretty good.

Here's the original video. Of course, this is for testing purposes only as I don't usually shoot like this. I just wanted to see how stable I could make the G7 and see how fast it could reacquire focus once in a settled position. What I learned is the smaller you make the AF box, the faster continuous will reacquire focus. I just went from subject to subject, placing the framing where the focus point was. I doubt the footage of my Panasonic VX980 would have been better, just WAY noisier. -

I never did try the G6, only the GH2 (a camera I still have and has served me very well with countless hours of live streaming). The G9 is a whole higher tier in Panasonic world. I never did have the GH5/s or the G9, but every time I see their output, I'm usually impressed if in the right hands. Unfortunately, the S9 is off my radar due to it being immediately dismissed for not having a viewfinder, hot shoe, and shutter... or proper pancakes. I'd rather have a G100, but like the S5ii, the S9's video is very nice. Concerning the moiré, I really thought my G7 would resist moiré more than my G100 or GX80 or even my S5, S5ii right now, but sadly, even with its OLPF, it doesn't- just blurrier moiré maybe. :-) I never saw moiré on the GH6 though. I'm sure it does, but I think the pixel density is such that it handles it very well, maybe out-resolving most lenses and therefore making the lens an OLPF. I constantly go back to older cameras. The OM-1 sounds great and I've found that even the e-m1 ii is good enough for my needs at 25fps. I can pick one up for roughly 450 euros right now- crazy. What I like about the G7 is the fact it has a chunky-ish grip. I don't think I've ever had a camera so easy to hold at only 410g. I've had smaller cameras like the GM1 and GX800, but the ergonomics are rather horrendous for everyday use. The G7 feels much better than the E-M5ii in the hand too, a camera I purchased twice for its 415g of travel friendliness.
