Horses for courses. But, I love the mirrorless camera concept. Nothing related to PRO label misconceptions. That said, GH series are pro cameras from consumer segment.

Very interesting combo(s):

You can't be less than just 100% right ; ) One of my instructors at film school was used to say the same since my early days at film school 2 decades ago... Like button on twice mode :-)

Indeed. It is roughly an equivalent 24-120mm... Remember my Canon 24-105mm used as FF is only f/4 but throughout the whole range, though.

Even though, under $1,999 shall be... :-)

You bet ;-)

You'll unlikely find no lights setup in a shot into a blockbuster production, as for instance. An events shooter living from his/her craft is as much professional as an acclaimed Academy award filmmaker. Different levels, obviously.

Sure, "level" in my post also includes that. Without mention sun, moon, low light from whatever source is light. Exposure is light. There's no shooting without a lens aperture. And shutter to couple with, of course, where light is always exposed to the sensor in the digital realm. (if we should express it in this way)

It depends on the pro level. Anyway... I second your expectations and liking :-)

My tests haven't proved it at all, but... let it be. Maybe, that's me. I just don't find it in that way :X

Your point is controversial but quite of an interesting perspective in any case, kudos man! :-)

Still waiting for the promised Osmo going to couple to the X5S...

Curious... I'd dare to guess on here, studiodc had spotted it: "GH4 recording externally direct to ProRes... might make a difference."

Have you never tested going with ProRes recorded on any external device via HDMI?

(...) Well, IPB or not, low bit rate doesn't offer miracles. Not good enough is not good enough :-)

I've never found Oly any interesting on video side, well or must I say too much videoish, actually, instead? ;-)

For sure. But, as same as happens with plots or subplots within an inner theme, so we're talking about cameras -- our POV into this topic, not yachts, jets, jetpack, trips to Mars, right? ; ) E :-)

I, aham... we all hope so! ; ) This camera is a dream to become true for first time in decades!!

LOL Luke, people are all crazy with your NDA... Can't they allow a time for a break? It's Christmas time, after all! :-)

Who are you?

Well, good luck on finding a good IPS match with similar features... ; ) Apples to Oranges: 49" is not a 65" display; it's a really pity indeed :-D
