Just comparing to entry level cinema cameras, not mirrorless. hehe

If that were the case, what about Sony? @IronFilm When I've finished typing all the features like 6K anamorphic, anamorphic de-squeeze, ETC mode, 4:2:2 10-bit ALL-I, IBIS, fully articulating LCD screen, HLG and the rest found on the GH5 that aren't found on every entry-level cinema camera, I'll make a PDF and PM you.

@Emanuel I thought it was the other way 'round...

@IronFilm The same could be said for a dozen or more other features on the GH5* cameras.

@IronFilm My point wasn't about whether these men are qualified to review video gear or not, or their journalistic integrity.

Thing is, I think most here, myself included, would welcome less sharpness.

LaCie’s 2TB DJI Copilot BOSS USB 3.1 Type-C External hard drive looks like a nifty way to back up files on the road, and dispenses with the need for bringing along a laptop. Files can be transferred directly to the drive with its built-in SD card reader and it can even be used to charge your other devices. An LCD screen provides information about file transfers, storage and remaining battery life and files can be managed on a smartphone using their app. Like the LaCie Rugged line of drives, it’s also dust, splash and shock resistant. source

@Dimitris Stasinos My feelings exactly.

ETC mode works with all lenses.

Please! A face, right?

@Emanuel In the interview, Yosuke Yamane does say Panasonic developed the sensor. No mention of Sony. ? hmmm

Nope, Sean Robinson doesn't mention anything about heat sinks. But with the mulit-aspect sensor and perhaps a larger heat sink for the Starvis sensor, there wasn't room to fit a stabilizer in there. It weighs 65g, so it must take up some space. Then why not just turn off stabilization? Is it still going to cause vibrations? Sean Robinson says in the interview that he knows of people who've even experienced vibrations with the GH5 mounted on a Ronin. Has anyone here ever experienced that? Because I've only used the camera mounted on a single-handed gimbal, and can't recall an instance where the camera behaved like that... I also imagine that if the camera's mounted in a car that's shaking or vibrating so badly that the IBIS is going nuts, that even without IBIS, the picture quality might not be so great either. i'm sure The Grand Tour is different, I've never watched it, but I recall seeing dozens of videos shot with the G85 and GH5 inside shaky moving vehicles and the footage was always a dramatic improvement over shooting without IBIS. Perhaps because those cameras weren't mounted on the vehicle?

Viewers of the Grand Tour should be pleased. Edit: I might be mistaken, I'll have to watch the interview with Sean Robinson again, but I could swear he told Hugh Brownstone that the GH5s body wouldn't accommodate IBIS with the large heat sink needed for the sensor. I'm about to watch again now...

@Zak Forsman I count myself among those who'd like to see the ability to turn off electronic sharpening, but noise reduction? I know this is sacrilege, and shows what a hobbyist I am, but I'd rather not deal with Neat Video ever again!

Does this target market, the specialists using these $2,500 camera bodies as crash cams on big productions, watch reviews on YouTube by Kai, TCSTV, Gordon Laing, Wex Photo, CRFTSHO, Peter Gregg, Photo by Richard, Dan Watson, Max Yuryev, Three Blind Men and an Elephant, Art of the Image, Photo Joseph and Max Yuryev? I'd wager not. And why have so few (if any) of the Luminaries shot video with the camera mounted to a vehicle?

noted

May I ask - have you ever shot with a camera that had IBIS?

And that represents how much of their sales? .0000001%? It's all spin doctors.

What was the butt-ugliest video camera ever made?

Speaking of grungy, have you ever seen a body as ugly as the GH5 or GH5s?

@IronFilm I would be seriously shocked if there were even more than one serious response to my question.

I shoot people. That's all I've ever shot, all I ever will shoot. But there's precious little out there showing how the GH5s renders skin tones. Presumably, most narrative, documentary, wedding, corporate and event filmmakers would also like to know - how good are the skin tones are with the new sensor. Actually, since I'm the first and only one asking, apparently nobody gives a rat's ass. I'm already quite satisfied with how the GH5 does in this regard, but I want to see how it compares to the GH5s at ISO 400, 800.

@IronFilm Probably can be addressed in FW, otherwise a fatal flaw for a production camera....

@IronFilm According to extrashot, when using TC, every time the camera goes to sleep, you lose 9 frames. Which kind of makes this camera worthless for synching up a mulit-cam shoot. Unless Panasonic issues a firmware update. Or do you think it's still worthwhile? source
