How does it handle the 7-14mm zooms at 7mm?

4K ETC could be good for super 16 lenses.

Really? I'm with Orangenz on this one, the GH4 was dramatically noisier than this. 3200 here is what 800 looked like on the GH4, maybe a little bit cleaner even. Have we been conditioned to be afraid of any and all noise? Go back and look at any cinema older than 20 or so and you'll see grain everywhere. Super pristine images are a relatively recent development. Yes, technology moves forward and standards change, but I'd say that the level of noise we see at 3200 on GH5 wouldn't even be noticed by audiences on Youtube, or at regular viewing distances from a television.

All Blackmagic need to do is release a sensibly designed camera in the 1-3k range and they'd make a killing. How about a handycam design, like the NEX VGs or JVC LS300? Something sensible for handholding, with EVF and LCD included. If they are worried about protecting the Ursa line they could restrict it to S16-M43 size sensor.

A bit over the top.

Sure, but they are including h.265 recording for the '6K' anamorphic update. Why not add it as an option for internal 10 bit 4K as well? It would solve some big issues.

Why don't Panasonic release an h.265 option for encoding 10 bit 4K? 200-400mbps. Problem solved. I don't see why it should be exclusive to 6K anamorphic 8 bit. And on that note, why not 400mbps h.264 IPB?

4K downscaled to 1080p is the way to go, on the GH4 it looks much, much better than the internal 1080p. Less moire, cleaner, sharper.

Log being a paid upgrade when they're including 10-bit in camera is outrageous.

I don't think so. It probably just means less crop.

Makes sense, 10-bit in camera isn't half as useful if you need an external camera to help you expose V-Log anyway.

4K 10-bit 4:2:2 up to 30fps.

Highly doubt it. 43rumors said there would be no 4K crop in a post that got everything else right.

Shogun Inferno will be able to, and I suspect we'll see more at NAB.

A few weeks ago it was 'no way Panasonic' will do internal 10-bit', now it's 'Sony will trump it before it's released'. No way. Sony don't even have 10-bit 4K in the FS5. They have higher end ranges to protect.

Panasonic's official page says 'early 2017'.

It's 18MP.

10-bit is only available in camera up to 4K 30p. Perhaps 10-bit 60p for external recording?

Right. It does make sense. I don't think anyone in the GH5 demographic has any use for 6K video. It would be a nice absurd feature to have though.

It is quite deceptive marketing if it's not for video, since they presented it as a step on the road to 8K video in 2020.

The 18MP sensor is (hopefully) an encouraging omen, instead of using the 20MP sensor.

Definitely internal, second speaker just restated it.

Is this the first time all the crazy rumours have turned out to be true?

18mp, 6K 30p, internal 10-bit 4:2:2 for 4K.

6K 30p, what the hell. This is a beast.
