Nope, I'm in South Korea. I'd like to shoot in New Zealand though. How's the indie scene there? Any of that Tolkien money trickle down to smaller productions?

distortion from the stabilization?

4k autofocus

I wonder what the 4k crop will be if it's 20mp? ~2.5x? yikes. Possibly downsampled?

It's like pulling teeth to get these companies to say what the internal recording color depth is. Out of all the reviews, writeups, videos and product listings it's still not clear if 8bit 422 or 420. One of the most important features.

Strange, both reps from panasonic saying different specs!

GFX 50S GFX format sensor is 51.4MP developed by Fujifilm. ~44 x 33mm - 1.7X larger than APS-C. G mount camera = a lens throat measuring 65mm in diameter. Camera is mirrorless. focal plane shutter and 1/4000sec minimum shutter speed interchangeable Viewfinder + tilting viewfinder Introduced 6 new G mount lenses.

8bit 420 internal confirmed by bhphoto video. Not worth the upgrade price.

8bit 4:2:0 fail

http://www.43rumors.com/official-panasonic-gh5-press-release/ Panasonic Develops the World’s First*1 4K 60p/50p Video Recording Digital Single Lens Mirrorless Camera [DSLM] LUMIX GH5 Featuring ‘6K PHOTO’*2 Cologne, Germany (September 19, 2016) – Panasonic today announced that it is in development of a new Digital Single Lens Mirrorless (DSLM) Camera LUMIX GH5 that is capable of recording smooth, high-precision 4K 60p/50p and faithful 4:2:2 10-bit 4K video*3 for the first time in the world*1. It also features ‘6K PHOTO’*2 which extracts approx.18-megapixel still images from ultra-high-quality video with approx. 9 times the pixel count of Full-HD. The new LUMIX GH5 is scheduled for commercialization and introduction to the global market in early 2017. Panasonic has been committed to the development of innovative digital cameras under the theme “Create a New Photo Culture in the Digital Era.” The world’s first Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera LUMIX DMC-G1 was introduced in 2008*4 and the subsequent DMC-GH1 achieved the world’s first Full HD video recording in 2009*5. In 2014, Panasonic introduced the DMC-GH4, which realized 4K 30p/25p video recording for the first time in the industry*6. At the same time, Panasonic proposed a new and unique method of photography called ‘4K PHOTO’ which allows users to capture fleeting photographic moments that even the eyes cannot catch, by using super-fast 4K resolution video frames at 30 fps that can be saved as high-quality photos. As a result, the DMC-GH4 is highly acclaimed for its exceptional hybrid performance in both photography and videography by a wide range of professional users worldwide – not only photographers but also cinematographers in the film production field, as well as emerging photo/video-hybrid creators. By advancing Panasonic technologies, such as digital signal processing and heat dissipation, and packing them into the compact, lightweight body of a Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera, the LUMIX GH5 enables 4K 60p/50p and 4:2:2 10-bit 4K video recording*3, which has never before been achieved *1. With this unprecedented video recording performance, Panasonic aims to further capitalize on the strength that it has achieved in the film production industry. In the LUMIX GH5, the conventional ‘4K PHOTO’ function is dramatically advanced to form ‘6K PHOTO’*2 which lets the user cut a still image out of ultra-high-quality approx.18-megapixel video with approx. 9 times the pixel count than Full-HD. Taking advantage of its high-speed, long-time burst shooting capability, spur-of-the-moment shots can be saved in beautiful photos with higher resolution that complies with larger-sized printing by substantially increasing the resolution from approx.8-megapixel (4K PHOTO) to approx.18-megapixel (6K PHOTO*2). Furthermore, approx.8-megapixel 4K Photo images can be captured at a super-fast 60 fps.

body + lens dual stabilization and weather sealing confirmed http://jacobjamesphotography.co.uk/g80-perfect-hybrid/ First full review: "In my opinion, as a B-roll or hybrid camera is where this model really shines. 4:2:2 8-bit recording on to SD cards, Dual-IS II in 4K video, Cine-D and Cine-V profiles and a mic input. It’s taking the best features of the GX80 and GH4 whilst slimming down on the niche, high end features. For me, the Dual-IS is the biggest revelation. I had the benefit pain of using a DJI Ronin M with the GH4 for the shoot. Whilst it worked 75% of the time flawlessly, its annoyances were enough for me to hate it by the end of the shoot. There were also times where it was just impractical." Preview by CameraLabs http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Panasonic_Lumix_G80_G85/

Getting a camera that works seems like a luck of the draw, and then to have this company admit you got a lemon seems like you need both time and persistence even when these issues are well known and even recognized by them. http://bmcuser.com/showthread.php?18438-4-0-Public-Beta-2 http://bmcuser.com/showthread.php?18444-URSA-Mini-4-6k-FPN
