Well, we used to have John Brawley here...

I just received my EM1 Mkii from B&H used department and immediately loaded V3 on it. 

I am using the Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 and the autofocus performs flawlessly. As good as Canon Dual Pixel AF IMO and more reliable than the Nikon Z6. 
I love the colors on the camera and I feel the size of this body is just perfect. THIS is what I wanted. The EM1X was overpriced and always having a grip made it unnecessarily bulky for a MFT camera. Going to do a review on this new setup soon. 

I feel the upcoming Panasonic Leica 10-25mm f1.7 paired with this camera will be my go to "YouTuber" camera for a while. I love the color science and IBIS is magical. Only thing "missing" is a good 120fps mode...which I can just get with my Z6 when I occasionally need it. 

So for now my current setup is this:
1DC on a tripod in my studio setup for that 4K MJPG Canon Log.
EM1 Mkii for vlog style, run and gun shooting.
Nikon Z6 for 120fps and run and gun shooting/ backup cam.
Leica Q (which I just picked up used for a steal) pictures of my kid and everyday life/ instagram shots. 

I know there has been question of Z-cam's usability professionally. Pretty cool to see it being used on a "hollywood" show. Looks like they are putting them to good use. Would be a good camera for that iconic matrix shot ?
 


 
 

Already ordered an EM1 Mkii from B&H....gonna do a vid about it! I think this is now going to be a way better option for people than the EM1X...WAY cheaper. Paid $1,100 for it used.
If the AF is as good as the EM1X there is no reason to get the EM1X for video...other than the limited 120fps mode. 
EM1 Mkii may be the best option for solo content creators who want best bang for buck in both price and size. 

oh lol
Got S1 and G7, but i m thinking getting G95 for 10-25mm, and sell S1 & R to get S1H
Well said, after coming from A7III to S1 the AF is acceptable for me, the new linear focus options is really great for manual focus, Sony one is just pain the ass unless you got expensive GM lens for MF.

There seem to be a few people happy with the EOS R, but there's no denying for most people it's absolutely rock bottom for mirrorless video (like all their other DSLR / DSLM) cameras when it comes to video. Even Fuji are miles ahead for video capture now. The frustration targeted at Canon is there for good reason., however it's best to forget about it. 
There's also a lot of talk about autofocus. Rightly so, this is absolutely fantastic for solo gimbal and I'd love to have PDAF in the GH5. Not having PDAF doesn't stop me shooting. However, A LOT of people have got really, really obsessed with it as if they've forgot to use manual focus (which I use 99% of the time). Manual lenses are way more fun! 
There's also a hell of a lot of bashing about the S1 cameras due to unrealistic expectations (requests for internal BRAW etc, what?). For video, there's literally nothing else like it and people are still complaining? 
We're spoilt for choice these days and there's something for everyone. Enjoy it!

The flippy screen situation has sold me. I need a $4000 Vlogging camera in my life. 

Fucks sake.
Well done Panasonic for NOT mentioning one of the biggest changes and leaving it up to some guy at the show with a sneaky shot of the prototype!!!

Well, I don't normally do this but I'll be first to preorder because I have a feeling this lens will be on backorder for awhile.

Cinematography dreams can only be expensive!

At little less than expected at $1,798 US.

I think I’ve seen better images coming out of the S1.
Dont worry guys, in a few days Tony will release a completely contradictory video about the same topic so he effectively covers the entire clickbait spectrum.

Teaser 

This camera does exist and is already in the hands of some reputable camera stores in LA. I talked with one owner and they didn't reveal much except that it was a game changer and one of the best cameras that they had ever seen. I asked them "game changer? They said "yeah". They have it in their shop and are playing with it. Not to something to be taken lightly, especially with using the word game changer... Coming from Panny!!

some nice footage in this video
 

My china made S1 feel much better quality than my made in Japan R, it's all depend on the product tier I guess?
 
I think my next car will probably Chinese made electric car, both Korean and Japanese electric car cost way too much! Almost same price as Tesla model 3.

I dunno. While it was a common belief that Australia didn't exist, most people do now believe in its existence. But there are still a few who believe it doesn't exist:

Honestly I'm more worried about how New Zealand seems to be getting wiped out:

Most consumers don't know anything about sensor size, etc. It's really only in this prosumer/professional bubble that people are obsessed with full frame cameras. 
Meanwhile I'm happy over here with my M43 and next month is set to be my most profitable month ever! 

I'll change my ways...

I got my R for way cheaper than that 2 months, thanks to Canon in Oz been generous with $1 R auctions (they stopped when RP comes out), though my one wasn't the lowest amount among the past winners but so far I am pretty happy with the camera overall, video look more natural than M50.

take the "1" off and we can talk ?

I didn’t say that, I only say Canon and Sony can get focus hunt/lost focus as well 
Not being defensive just sick of people thinking mirrorless have to be small and fragile, for pro work I want them to be tough and able to stand abuse for field work. I am looking at it as pure workhorse and nothing else. I use R/Leica T for casual photography and G1xiii for travel, though R is also used as bcam for c200.
