Hahah. I have been doing this for 10+ years. I own a monopod. I own a tripod. Neither would be useful in this situation. You are telling me, it is more efficient to continually adjust my monopod in height multiple times from multiple positions in the crowd instead of hand holding it and taking advantage of the IBIS? In your mind, when I am standing stage right...new speaker comes out. I have about 10-15 min to shoots. I should first, adjust the monopod to the correct height. Shoot. Ah, now I want a bit lower shot with more screen and more stage...lower the monopod some more. Now I want that shot where its framed between two of the audience members...let me adjust that one more time on the ole monopod. And probably some more angles on stage right. Lemme adjust the ole monopod more. And then continue this monopod dance multiple times for stage center, and stage left? Cmon now. As I said before, rolling shutter at 200mm...open gate...not the best. Why open gate? Because most deliverables nowadays needs to be in 16x9 and 9x16. Rolling shutter at 70mm...fine.

Eh. Not so much. You are shooting a large tech conference . You are the solo shooter. The person on stage is talking for 15 min. You need wide. Close. And mid shots. You stand on the left side of the stage. You use your 70-200 for these shots as they walk back and forth across the scene. Once those shots our done. You go to the center of the audience. Repeat. Once that is done you go the left of the stage. Repeat again. Having a tripod / monopod is not efficient in this situation.

If you have your camera on sticks and not moving you won’t have a problem. But if you are hand holding with the lens at 200mm, shooting open gate , and are following someone walking on stage the rolling shutter / jello is very visible.

Excluding whip pans. If you are shooting open gate , and are on a long lens around 200mm. Rolling shutter will rear its ugly head

Well. Looks like I was pretty spot on with my predictions.

Aren't the new Blackmagic Cameras L-Mount?

I think if you use some deductive reasoning it is easty to guess the specs. Chris Niccolls posted on Insta Stories of the camera, so it will share the same body of the S5IIX It will be high megapixels...that is a fact...which means at least 8K shooting. Since every single camera from Panasonic has had opengate...you can guess 8k Opengate If it can do 8k opengate, do the math, it can probably shoot downsampled 6k + 4k. It is an RII series, so most likely no Internal ND's.

I had an S1H...went to the s5iix and am back to my S1H. S1H image was truly one of a kind with that OLPF.

I have ran with the S5 + VA for a long time. The only real benefit of BRAW is file size and playback speed. You will get no additional benefits in DR or "motion cadence"

Try applying this LUT to your footage on export, (it is in the export window settings in Premiere) https://we.tl/t-eHqZmP04NB It fixes the gamma problem.

S1H is up there.

Why is that? I exclusively use the S1H and have had no problems in post at all.

I can say that in s35 mode the S5 is garbage when recording in BRAW. Perhaps internal on the S1H is better.

Are cameras that shoot PRR not an option? If so , you have the Fuji XH2S with very low RS.

Weird. Newsshooter did actual testing and it was 192ms...same as I have found on the S series.
