When this camera arrives there will be no more rain Jon.
There'll only be sunshine and nice things for everyone.

In the US you don't have a problem of getting a citation. Its more likely you will get shot 

I think you'll be disappointed with the AF performance of the Canon with the metabones.
With regard to the Lumix lens, its not going to get wide enough I wouldn't imagine for what you're after.
If you're looking for the facilities that you are used to from the camcorder but in a handheld form factor then I'd recommend you have a look at something like the FZ2000/2500.
Its a 1" sensor so its the same as the UX180, in built NDs, 20x zoom (with external LANC controller for the zoom if you need it too), VLOG if you want it, 5 axis OIS etc.
Where it falls down for you might be the lack of higher frame rates at 4K (though it does 120 in 1080).
The GH5 is a very, very nice camera indeed but as an overall package with the lenses you've listed based on what you are doing and how you are used to working, I think you might find it gets a bit unwieldly juggling it.
 

Just got mine, the biggest advantage I have coming from the SONY A7r II is how much cleaner the image is in SLOG2/SLOG3, and at high- ISO.

@sanveer I chose the Tamron over the 24-105 because it is lighter, cheaper and has a larger aperture. Also I am a person used to shooting primes so having a 28-75 is already more variety than I'm used to. 
I will test out the HLG Vs Slog.  

Thanks for the information. Will definitely check it out. 
Actually, there is no question if crop, cause it' a fixed lens camera. 

You could compare camera+lenses sizes (some of them) in the same Camerasize site. 

- Go to  https://camerasize.com/compact/
- In the menu bar at the right of the combo box which you choose the cameras, click on the last icon (camera+lens)
- Choose a camera and click the "+" button
- The camera body will appear in top view, and over it there is a link "click to add a lens"
- Choose the lens that you want
- Add a 2nd camera body and repeat the process.

You can copy the generated URL that your browser will show in the URL bar when you have the comparison you desired and share it, like this:

After doing a little bit of research, I discovered that while there is a site comparing most Amatuer and Prosumer Cameras (https://camerasize.com/compare/), there appear to be none that compare Camera Lens sizes (except one that matches M43 cameras with lenses for relative look and size estimations http://four-thirds.org/en/special/matching.html). There is a strange presumption that lenses must remain small at the cost of faster glass or great options, and this applies to Panasonic too. Olympus has been shamelessly making some superb glass and some of it is pretty small too, especially for the quality and brightness that it offers. 
If Samsung could make f2-2.8 (16-50mm) Zooms, there is no reason Panasonic should not aim for Zooms that start brighter than f2.8 (Panny Leica f2.8-4 12-60mm). I saw the Zuiko f2 Zooms and they are absolutely enormous. Panasonic should aim for a combination of bright and decent range, even if it means a little large lens (not as enormous as the Zuiko f2 zooms). I don't like variable zooms, cause they suddenly feel weird if you don't close the aperture to begin with, and then zoom in.
A 12-100 versions of the stellar Olympus f4 zoom, but with an f2.8 lens would be perfect. It could be large. This single lens could outsell everything but the M43 system if it has good OIS and isn't priced above $1499.

The lens causes the sensor to have a lot of crop, and that is why despite being a 16MP sensor, its highest resolution is limited to 12.7MP (in the 4:3 aspect ratio). I am guessing it was designed by Panasonic to actually compete with the 1inch sensors by offering a fast lens and slightly larger sensor, despite the crop from the M43 sensor size. Despite the low MP count, it seems to have worked quite well.

Yea that lens is not making it off of a body. Speaking of the LX100, Panasonic could dominate the blogger market if they'd just do an LX200 already, with better AF, the 20MP sensor, IBIS, mic jack, and a flip screen that goes up over the top (like an A5100). 

No one is going to argue about DR superiority of the UM4.6K with 15 stops advertised instead of 12 for the 4K. It's also got a wider ISO range.
All i'm saying is if you're allergic to rolling shutter and again want a 4K Super 35mm Sensor with Global Shutter then the UM4K/BMPC4K are a good deal.
The F55 is literally 10 times retail of the UM4K and 20 times a used BMPC4K. Just sayin'

The Olympus is 1350euros here, most definitely it will cost more than 1499USD! The OIS is pretty good already.
m43 used to be everything about size and weight, but their latest flagships forgot about it, and they went full on. GH5 is bigger and heavier than even full frame dSLRs, there is no reason to hold zoom lenses on the old miniaturization mantra, when you have such a big and heavy body. 
My opinion about size/weight body vs size/weight lens ratio is that they have to be analogous. What I mean, if you have a full frame zoom like the 70-200, which is a very common lens on many people's arsenals, the ergonomics of the camera have to be capable for such lenses, that is why I was founding the A7 cameras very bad ergonomically. Same with m43, their 35-100 zoom lenses were small and light, and that was a great advantage of the system against large and heavy dSLR cameras. Personally, my sweet spot is APS-C, and specifically, the aforementioned NX with the unique S lens.

"The sensor has about 11 megapixels according to the specification and is a Micro Four Thirds format (sensor size 17.3x13mm which means 4:3 aspect ratio). The specification says that only “10.28 Megapixels are active”, making the resolution about 3704×2778 if it’s 4:3. So the individual photo-sites must be about 4.7μm square, about the same as a conventional 3-sensor HDTV camera. Alan found that neither of these sets of dimensions was enough for 4096×2160 recording unless his assumptions are over-simplifications – which seems likely from the measurements above.
...
The camera achieves HD Tier 1 because of the sensor size, while smaller than the preferred 1” size, is greater than the minimum-acceptable 2⁄3” size. The wording of R.118 is not completely consistent on this because testing is required whatever the sensor size, but the camera passes the tests anyway.
... 
It is also important for users to know that they can obtain more dynamic range shooting in the HLG or CineLike-D picture profiles than V-LogL. In saying that, V-LogL and HLG have a lot more dynamic range in the stops allocated above middle grey than CineLike-D. The amount of stops isn’t as important as where they are located above or below middle grey. Just because Cinelike-D has more DR than V-LogL doesn’t mean it’s a better picture profile to shoot in."
 
 
The edifice of his research itself is wayyyyyyy off.
It is NOT a 4/3 ratio sensor, and this is NOT the aspect ratio for 10.23 MP.
They Are actually these:
3680 x 2760 (10.2 MP, 4:3),
3840 x 2560 (9.8 MP, 3:2),
4016 x 2256 (9.1 MP, 16:9),
2752 x 2752 (7.6 MP, 1:1),
2592 x 1944 (5.0 MP, 4:3),
2736 x 1824 (5.0 MP, 3:2),
2816 x 1584 (4.5 MP, 16:9),
1936 x 1936 (3.7 MP, 1:1),
1824 x 1368 (2.5 MP, 4:3),
1920 x 1280 (2.5 MP, 3:2),
1920 x 1080 (2.1 MP, 16:9),
1360 x 1360 (1.8 MP, 1:1),
3328 x 2496 (8.3 MP, 4:3),
3504 x 2336 (8.2 MP, 3:2),
3840 x 2160 (8.3 MP, 16:9),
2880 x 2880 (8.3 MP, 1:1)
 
I am guessing the GH5s could have about 1/5 stop more dynamic range than the GH5 for raw, and less than that for video.
Also, I doubt ANY camera can do 14.6 Stops in a 10-bit codec. I doubt even the highest grade ProRes 10-bit will reach 14.6 Stops. As a matter of fact, after this review, I am curious as to how many Stops of Dynamic Range the Alexas and REDs Achieve on their ProRes Codecs. 
Also, if this sensor were So Capable, Blackmagic would have advertised the 14.6 stops as the USP, above the Dual Native ISO.
Also he says Cinelike-D has more dynamic range than Vlog. How?
Take this review with a ping of salt. Or something stronger. 

Excellent. What's more even impressive is the turn around and how it was shot.
Please share details of lighting and setup.
Thanks in advance. 
 

That's the sole reason I stopped visiting the site too. It smacks of too much bias. They have brands that they glorify, and others they try to run to the ground.
 

Fast zooms are not as common as they should be. I wish there were like 2-3 zooms for the M43 ecosystem that could relieve filmmakers and photographers of the headache of constantly changing lenses to reframe shots. Also if they were Fast, low light wouldn't really be an issue. 
I wish Olympus and Sigma could perhaps collaborate on the following Zooms:
1. 12-25mm f2.
2. 24-50mm f2.
3. 45-100mm f2.
Also if they could have good OIS and smaller sizes, along with being under $1500, it could be a runaway success.
DO you think they should some other specifications for zooms in the M43 ecosystem? Or would you prefer constantly changing lenses? 

Sure, the most important aspect for me are the 24mm in the wide end (a very significant reason I do not LOVE the Canon 18-135mm, Sigma 18-35mm, Sony 18-105mm, which otherwise I like for specific needs in specific systems and cameras), if it can reach 120mm, as you mention, it is great and perfectly usable, if it can be 2.8f. The Pana-Leica is good for some people too, I much prefer the Olympus, not only spec wise.
Mildly bigger won't be an issue, because the GH5 cameras and the P4K are large cameras, and heavy. 
The 18-35mm is a very good lens, but very limited in focal lengths and using a speed booster increases the weight, total width, price (  @Cinegain already mentioned some of those, and mentioned the NX S, very accurate comment, in all!), not very impressed personally, and starts from 29mm in Canon-land, now for m43, it is like owning a couple of wide lenses, and that's it, not medium, not tele at all (obviously).

I agree with the OP.
In terms of my own camera decisions, if there was an equivalent to the Sigma 18-35 that was on m43 it would really change my attitude to the whole m43 system.  I bought a GF3 back in the day and it came with the 14mm f2.5 lens as well as the (ergonomically terrible) kit zoom, so when the GH5 came out I was very interested in the IBIS for my handheld guerrilla film-making work because I already owned one half-decent lens in the m43 system, but the lack of a killer lens and the complication of adapting the 18-35 was too off-putting for me, with the focus issues killing off the option well and truly.
At the moment I'm kind of split between looking at desirable cameras and then looking for lenses that suit and also looking at desirable lenses (like the 18-35) and looking for a camera body to suit.  Right now I've got the XC10 which has a good 'body' but the lens is a bit limiting, and the 18-35 which is wonderful but my 700D / ML body is a bit limiting.
A killer lens option for m43 would make me reconsider that system again.

It is, indeed. Do not know about an offer, how much it cost now?
I own the NX 16-50S which is 2-2.8f, so a 12-25mm 2f m43 isn't that amazing and unique, (2f-2.8f on an APS-C zoom lens that is 24-77mm equiv is truly unique, and happened 5 years ago).
Using those classic workhorse lenses, you still need to go more Tele some times, while with the 12-100mm you have the full range for 95% of what a run and gun cameraman needs. 4f is not ideal of course, but with the dual ISO sensors won't be a big issue, and the lens is reasonably small and light as well.

Yeah, that would be cool. People love to adapt the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8, but for many it's too cumbersome and kind of defeats the purpose of going with the more compact allowing ecosystem. Popular as well for the Samsung NX1 system was their S lens 16-50mm f/2-2.8. These are really the kind of lenses that are awesome! Now... Olympus has a good thing going for them with the f/2.8 PRO line-up. 7-14, 12-40 & 40-150mm. As Kisaha mentiones there's the nice 12-100mm f/4 PRO too. In turn Panasonic has the Lumix f/2.8 12-35 & 35-100mm and the Leica line-up of f/2.8-4 lenses. Apparently it is not that easy to create f/2.8 or faster zooms that are compact. There used to be one lens for 4/3 sensors... the Olympus M.Zuiko 14-35mm f/2.0 ED SWD. About the price of a kidney. Not compact either. Guess something we'd like to see... is just not in the stars.

I know that my favorite one for run and gunning is the Olympus 12-100mm 4f, hard to beat that, except in price.

Fast zooms are not as common as they should be. I wish there were like 2-3 zooms for the M43 ecosystem that could relieve filmmakers and photographers of the headache of constantly changing lenses to reframe shots. Also if they were Fast, low light wouldn't really be an issue.
