So the consensus is that Panasonic is using a sensor 'wider than MFT spec' in the GH5s. But this doesnt make a lot of sense to me - introducing a marginally wider sensor is an expensive proposition. Furthermore, you cant really have a partnership of many companies based on one sensor spec, that allows any of its companies to produce 'bigger' sensors - it is a road to breaking down that partnership pretty quickly.

thank you, this is very useful. i have a GH5, but i am strongly considering the GH5S for doing green-screen-match moving so that i can get both the green screen + markers in focus as well as the subject. no simple task in a small home-built studio. also, i have a BMD VA 4K, but it looks like an Atomos would have been a better, albeit more expensive, choice.
