I predict that an A7SIII will be announced next month with GH5 like specs (probably not 10bit though?) with monstruous AF, dual SD, and lots of improvements. rumors have been going in this way for a long time. Worth waiting IMO. GH5 with speed booster and shit AF is a no go for me in 2017. Even though I am buying it for my patagonia trip (the best camera is the one available now.....) I might get rid of it asap.

For me it isn't about recording time it is about trekking for 1 week in the mountains without any power source and without the wish to bring 10 batteries with me. One 20.000 mah powerbank will charge camera, phone, gps... Also the convenience of' not bringing a dedicated charger while traveling. This is really bummer. I can't get how they can fuck up something so easy to not fuck up. Frustrating. Well I am still receiving mine but might return it after testing it in Patagonia

Wait GH5 can't be charged by a powerbank??? what a mess...

Still no proper review of AF and comparison with A6500 AF...

Amazing. Can't wait to get mine soon. Can't wait also @Andrew Reid to get your feedback on Continuous video AF with native lenses and get to know: Is it usable (for gimbal use filming people)? How does it compare to A6500 AF? thanks for the review!

Now we are talking. : Yesterday we reported we were pretty sure that the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV would get C-Log via a firmware update that will likely be announced at NAB next month. We can now confirm that to a certainty that it’s coming. However, we do not have a release date for the firmware. We’re now asking sources if the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II will see a similar firmware update, we’ll report back on that as soon as we’re able to. There has been another suggestion that Canon has been actively looking at ways to “improve” the 4K video capture crop on the EOS 5D Mark IV. We cannot confirm at this time if we’re going to see that in a firmware update. More to come… Read more: http://www.canonrumors.com/c-log-coming-to-eos-5d-mark-iv-confirmed-cr3/#ixzz4c02PenLL

. way better to just have a Good AF like canon DPAF, touchscreen focus and touch screen on the phone.

It is coming. http://www.canonrumors.com/c-log-coming-to-the-canon-eos-5d-mark-iv/ Well too bad for the horrible crop

Yep I did, Mk2 was great because of having this video capability and the 3 too for Magic Lantern. They had the potential to become leader not only in DSLR photography but also dslr and mirorless video. They fucked it up. A Mk4 with proper video specs (at least A7r2 specs) would have been great. A Canon mirorless with those specs would have been amazing (adding better lenses, ergonomics, menus, colors to the A7r2 basically) and a Canon FF mirorless with exact GH5 specs would be the last and only camera I need for years not gonna happen.

Lol, sensor Wise yes. Spec wise my sweet spot is: mirorless body/tilt screen/Canon menus, colors and AF/4k60p/1080@240p/IBIS Doesn't look to be 98% of cameras to me. I say my spot for sensor in video is M43/apsc/FF because any camera with one of these sensor size with the specs I mention would be my dream camera. for photography though I need a FF sensor.

Canon is an atrocious and ridiculous company I can't respect at all. Won't explain why I think this, Andrew did it enough on this blog for the past years and its quite obvious anyway. unlike andrew though, I am not buying any canon gear since the Mk3 (got the 5d2 and 3) which means since 4 years. Fuck them honestly.

Can't believe there is no comparison of AF with Sony a6500 and so on

Medium format is NOT ready to replace FF. too much compromise (Lenses at F2.8 or F4 ? Seriously?) Already constraints are huge on a FF body (heat management...) Today the easy sensor for video is M43 cause we can get amazing specs (GH5) easily. Medium format is just not ready for a video usage, when technology evolves yeah why not I will take it. For now for me the sweet spot is FF for photography and M43 or APSC for video (or FF if anyone gives me a FF body with GH5 specs, which no company seems to give me..)

Great review thanks completely agree only cons for me is no 4k60p and FHD120-180p. A deal breaker when i have a GH5 at same price. If specced like this, I would have got the Olympus for the better ergonomics and better IBIS

Cudos to sigma for their awesome work and lenses at affordable price. we can't say the same from Canikon

Yep pretty bad. No always that much. I did not add any sharpening

It has Digic 7 processor

Which video? The one you posted? I don't know my video above uses the new DLog yes

I have done this test with the new d-log released few days ago compared to other color mode. Color grade is horrible, it is just to see how it holds up see the comment in my YouTube description log is no good for Mavic

relax man. 2nd degree exists. " AF is 'THAT' important, why would you even waste your time in a GH5 thread?" Because as I pointed, many other things are important, and the GH5 is the camera that thicks most boxes for sub 2K$ today. It is just a big shame I think for the AF. Maybe if I, and other point it out all over the web Panasonic will listen to customer. Does not hurt to say what u think. But sorry for wasting time on this thread man.......

I see that we have a couple of jokers here on the forum. Of course the AF is shit. Pana never ever showed the capability. If the tracking would be great we would see it. Early reports say it sucks. Then you say yes but it is a very very early firmware. The camera is releasing next month, are you for real? It is close to final firmware for sure. Then the tech itself, contrast base AF is called contrast based because of a reason. It uses contrast and therefore sucks with low contrast. The AF will be better than GH4 for sure, but it wont touch Canon let alone A6500. Like other said before in this thread focus in video is getting THAT important. So as a guy said before yes we have to choose between Sony, Canon, Pana, and others and they all suck at some important things. Can a company could finally do things right once in their life and put important things in one camera? Too hard to ask to have a 4K60p + 10 bit + FHD 120p + IBIS + tilt touch screen + nice ergonomics and menu + nice color science + Canon like AF, in a regular size body with FF sensor for a decent price? Panasonic, except for the sensor size (but in video it is not that much impacting I think) they had almost everything here. And they fuck up the AF. Damn

Firmware update does not make magic to shitty contrast based AF. I had such big hope for GH5 becoming my video camera in parallel of a D810 for photo. Well, better waiting for A7SIII now...

At 8:35 : confirmed that the AF sucks. What a shame. As he says AF aside this camera has everything really 4k60p, brillant image with 10 bit, 5 axis stab, small package, .... Come on, why on earth did they think with this decade old AF system. Seriously pissed since it is a feature I hardly live without on gimbal...

Can you please explain why this lens would loose a lot of resolution with gh4?
