It looks as though Martin Wallgren shot another video showing off the IBS (with the Panasonic 15mm). Cute video with seemingly great stabilisation.

Looks good to me! For me, this is the camera to get, even if it doesn't have a microphone input.

From what I gather, the IBS ruins the in-body sound; so, you're only left with the option of off-camera sound. I've got a Zoom H1 and I plan on using it to the fullest with this camera. It's a cumbersome process to keep track of the audio and matching video files, but I find that if I do it immediately after sooting, it works.
So far, I've sold off a bunch of gear too... only my RX100 to go. Last month, I had bought a GX7 (before sending it back because the GX80/85 appeared) and just loved the combo of the GX7's Natural profile and an easy grading option of film convert. With the FZ300, Panasonic really gives you everything but a large sensor; however, I'd trade the microphone input for a large sensor, pocket-ability and the interchangeable lenses any day. The GX80 is going to be a great option for off-the-cuff style shots and possibly more serious projects too- a great allrounder. Some will say not an A camera, but in the right hands, it could be.

Hey Jonesy! Ted here from Aputure. Didn't get a chance to meet you at the show, but really glad that Jeremy could show you all the new tech. Thanks for the write-up and love. It really means a ton to us. 
If you don't already know about it, we're got a user group on facebook-- not unlike Black Magic  -- where we collect feedback and discuss Aputure stuff. I want to start up a live-stream once a week where we can all discuss what you guys are looking for so we can keep making it. 
Cheers,
Ted

So basically it is a Tascam DR-10X with a microphone glued on permanently, and a hotshoe.
Still, a really good idea. A strong competitor to the Shure VP83F LensHopper & Saramonic Vmic Recorder Video Microphone.
But I just wish Zaxcom had not crushed legally the sales of Tascam DR-10C in the United States, as that is what this link I'd hoped would be about.

Matt says they are seriously considering 10 bit 4-2-2 Internal. That would be Huge. And maybe moving to Faster Cards too. 
 

I just want the 5-axis, better low light, a recording YAGH for backup and the same focus transitioning as the 80d without the stuttering and self doubt. I know, not easy, but not incredibly out of reach either.
The YAGH was a missed opportunity to replace the AF100 but the idea was really clever, I hope you're right and sell a new version.

Does this count? There's Still a Lack of a good dual sound recording microphone (on an SD or MicroSD). The Shure Lenshopper is good, but not directional enough. This is cheaper by $100, and even records a safety track. And either headphone or mic input  (I am guessing only 1 of the 2). Looks terrible, but who really cares about how it looks?

Sounds like it's the same sensor that's in the BMPC. Not sure if BM is withholding 4K/60p or it was a heat issue.

I saw pics of the Kinefinity TERRA, and the thing is so tiny, its amazing. 

In all honesty, if BlackMagic came out with an updated BMMCC that added a modular LCD screen and global shutter, the Craft Camera would disappear. At least the HD version would. 

Yes, but they also make it sound like you don't need the power module unless you want to use two batteries. It seems like intentional vagueness. 

Question for all: is the d5300 capable of outputting all its frame rates to an external recorder? Interested in the cheaper BM View Assist Or is it only capable of 30p output?

This is cool, but the more I think about it, it kinda pisses me off! Their whole strategy is mandatory up-selling.
If they implemented an SD slot into the HD module and a record tone so I could synch my audio, then it could be an amazing way for me to grow into a system. 
Also, is the handle needed to record internally? If so, that's some bs too. 

Actually 13 stops is high for Global Shutter; the Terra5K has 13 stops for Global and 15 for Rolling shutter ! 
And at 120 fps I have to agree that it's cool - and I was against it !   But still a possible scam ... 

I liked the modularity concept, also the price, also the ProRes, which i am assuming is 4:2:2, so early December we should expect to see some good video reviews from the early adopters…...

They are obviously a company. I didn't have time to go through with the registrations of Patents filed, but this did turn up. 

If I had a few hours, I could have found out all the Patents they registered. But, anyways, here (TM Only):

And, this very strange looking design (which I am guessing they have Abandones completely by now). 

I must not have explained myself clearly; my fault.  The 70d has the flippy screen, great AF, will allow them to see themselves in the LCD.  Nothing new in that regards concerning the 80d was my point.  Same video with slightly better detail, but same exact functionality.  80d isn't any more groundbreaking to v-loggers than the 70d, which was my question why anyone would say suddenly "this is going to be big for v-loggers".  Plenty have been using the 70d in the exact same manner since the end of 2013.

The GX8 has a more recent sensor. I am guessing the issue with processing may not be with the sensor at all. It may be with the available processing power as well as not stepping on to the market of the higher end cameras.
If that is the case, then the GH5 should concentrate on something like 4k ProRes or 10-bit AVCHD or something on those lines, instead pf moving to 6k. Though 6k would be excellent for post photo and other photography needs.
Also low light can seriously improve on the Panasonics/ M4/3rds. And this again I feel may not be an issue with sensor alone.
Also, from the look of things, the GH5 may be moving more into the $2000 range. Which would, frankly be justifiable. 

I don't necessarily need CineLikeD but I also don't like the idea of not having it in case I want to use it. It's not like we're buying a $200 camera. For $800, there's no reason it not being there... Especially since it's probably equivalent to flipping a switch to include it. 

Yes, CineLikeD is not actually a log profile, but it is often described as being log-like... I knew what Sanveer meant. 

I agree. I think we should make an online petition for having a Log Profile (Cineline D and V) on the GX85.

Sure, but that's unlikely and not necessary and niche

Yeah, the Shure sounds like a great mic/recorder and it seems like it would be great for foley, but I don't think it's exactly what I'm looking for as a possible audio solution for the GX85.
Yeah, I think Martin Wallgren must have a pretty good relationship with Panasonic because he has tested preproduction models for the FZ300, the GX85 and I think maybe the GX8. In fact, his video with the FZ300...
... Helped me decide to buy one. 
I am really surprised that they included CineLikeD on the FZ300, but it won't be available with the GX85. 
As I tried to say in my last post, but wrote it in too much of a hurry... Even though I know I can get a cleaner image, with better skin tones with the Natural profile, there is just something I like about CineLikeD.
And this is my dilemma. I would love to keep both the G7 and the GX85 (if I get it) but I'm not sure I can afford to have both and I'm not sure I would want an interchangeable lens, Panasonic camera without the CineLikeD profile. 
Decisions, decisions. 

I bought the Shure for $255. Here, it is either unavailable, or in the $450+ price range. Like I said, if "Dual Mono", and a "very wide pickup pattern" is not an issue with you, you will love the preamps, and the ability to record a backup track (you can save it at 10-15dB lower than the one going into the camera, where cameras have headphone inputs). I hope that helps. 

 I didn't realize (/know) that Martin Wallgren had such easy access to Panasonic. Then, maybe, we should All contact him/ troll him, on Facebook and Twitter, and ask him to take it up with Panasonic. I also suspect that the HDMI out is a dud, possibly even worse than the one on the Panasonic G7

I wonder if we should start Another Thread, for the purpose of letting Panasonic know, What they Should add to the GX80/ GX85/ GX7 ii, in terms of Firmware.
