Here's my full review. I also wrote a more detailed post at No Film School.

Wow at last! Didn’t buy the original but loved using it (due to the image). 
My wild prediction: 
- S16 sensor 
- Detachable 4” touch screen (fit it on the camera or off camera) 
- CFast slot and SD slot
- 4K 60fps (at a stretch, I’m expecting at least one “wow” feature ) 
- Canon LP-E6 batteries 
- 13 stops DR 
- ProRes RAW in future firmware 
- Price $1295 
 
I hope it will be like that..... please. They’ve had 5 years to make it. I hope it’s as charming as the original. 
 

We've hit the point where there is NO excuse for not shooting cinematic footage with even a $1000 camera. Everything from now on will just be nitpicking features to make things easier/quicker/efficient.

There's definitely a camera element involved. I'm just saying we've hit it. Back in 2009 one could argue we need to come a way in tech to be affordable + cinematic. That has plateu'd in my opinion though.

I think the BM pocket cinema camera is a good example of cinematic image for under $1000. There's the process of cinema (movie making) and cinema image (what's seen on the screen).  Time is underrated expense, and I believe if you have time on your side anything is possible with minimal equipment. 10 yrs ago I would agree that cinematic image may have been too out-of-reach for most, in regards to the camera.

Super cool to see this, and hear PTA's thoughts.
 

You mean no recorder, just a 10bit 1500 nits monitor that is capable of HDR? That would be useful too. Indeed, separating monitors and recorders may be the point of this thread.

Are you sure that you’ll be shooting MFT for a long time to come?

Where are you seeing the noise? It's surprisingly very clean from what I've experienced. Especially at the native ISOs.

In posted example? Somewhere at the end, around 8 min and after, night sky completely dance with noise... but DBounce called attention that it is base v-log ungraded footage, so that after grading noise disappear...

If you’re in it for the long haul I’d consider the Veydra Mini primes. They hold value better that Rokinon, although theyre more expensive. Optically they’re on par with the newer Zeiss super speeds.
The focus throw on the Veydras are nice bc theyre so small. The big cine lenses are truly a huge pain to handheld focus when they’re 300 degrees.

Here's a still from my 6K anamorphic video of the Grand Canyon sunrise. Full video coming soon.

That side menu looks pretty slick.

I recently did a test with the GH5s + Speedbooster Ultra and Ursa Mini Pro (Super 35). They were nearly identical. Actually the GH5s might have been ever so slightly wider FOV.
