I have been considering a similar choice for lens, and I have my sights set on the Panasonic 12-60 f/2.8-4 It's lightweight with Power I.S. image stabilization and the GH5S doesn't need as fast of glass for exposure with the GH5S's much better high ISO performance. I know your looking to pair the lens with a GH5, and I must admit: Every time I shoot a pro job with the GH4/5 I rent the Sigma 18-35 and a Speedbooster!

I would bet if Jon would have said the above pictures were from this new Fuji camera everyone on here would have said Shit, they look great, I am buying that Beautiful color output Fuji Today LoL.
These new GH5, GH5s are NOT the old Panasonic colors wise we have known for years.

Now I don't know what to think... two authorities which I equally deeply respect suggest me different attitude... Emanuel: "Imagery is not real, it is always fake!" ... Matthew Hartman: "Trust your eye"... And it seems there's no Mattias to resolutely resolve this dilema... Moreover sage Webrunner is still mute about that question, which is significant sign. There's no even good sober Jon Pais with his dancers from American in Vietnam movie to help... Damn!
All in all, I feel myself little bit confused and desperate... Last time I remember similar filling was when Krishna explained to me something about reality at the field of Kurukshetra, but I was too stupid to understand.

Am I off in saying I really don't care about a camera's particular color cast? I always grade my footage, always have. I started my career some 25 years ago in print as a graphic designer. I'm used to playing with color and I know color theory like the back of my hand. I just take care of it in post.
Isn't that what you all do as well? 
THIS one I know the technical reason why we don't perceive vibrant colors as some cameras resolve. Atmosphere. Atmosphere diffuses how our eyes see protons, i.e. light, i.e color. 
I'm ready for my gold star now. 

There's no other like FujiFilm color science. No matter what.

Sorry guys, but didn't resist either... ; )

@anonim
Couldn't resist...:)
 

Perhaps my blue eyes, but I see very strong green cast... so title could be Becoming an Avatar...
THAT'S called Teal and Orange ... (I have to whisper obvious... woman is beautifull).

Most of the videos so far don't really show off Fuji's IQ I must admit. I think it's because most of the footage put out is from that Eterna profile, which is a not a very interesting or impressive profile.
However, having shot with many cameras under the $3000 range (from a Nikon d5200 to a Canon C100 II and many in between) I can attest to Fuji having the most pleasent image of them all. 
I mean just look at this. Shot with the XT2 with  35mm f1.4 and classic chrome
 

I read the Andrew Smallman post and can not disagree more. I don’t understand why that perspective is relevant in a thread about Fujifilm cameras. If one doesn’t like these ergonomics there is almost literally every other manufacturer on the market. 
 Camera ergonomics are a subjective thing. Different people work best with different types of tools. 
The XH1 certainly pushes the envelope in that it is a fantastic photo camera firstly but also a fantastic video camera. The A7riii might be better but it’s in a different price class. Especially when factoring in lenses. 
The GH5 isn’t nearly as good a stills camera and the A6500 isn’t even close for lots of reasons. 
Olympus comes closest but again, not as good a photo camera in my mind. 
 

Yes but no way that the first camera carrying this sensor will be a GHx camera. This tech is too good to put into a 2500 euro prosumer cam. It will most likely make it's debute in a new Varicam or be called Panasonic Space 3000 CAM.

Well I will agree that those cine zooms from Fuji are doing better than Panasonic is for lenses. 

But as Panasonic put out the EVA1 with an EF mount, I sadly won't hold my breath that Panasonic will fix this any time soon. 

This. I was surprised today to learn this was a "tech forum". I thought it was about creating and the tech was a big part of it but still just one piece of a puzzle.

The most funny is that all in a sudden, ergonomics & the usual stuff to endlessly discuss somehow related, but not really so useful as apparently the wishes of a few would like to pretend to be, it is much more important than IQ... What the hell... I thought people are here because of the pictures.
We may all be geeks but not at 1st rate, I thought. I see I've been really wrong after all :-D
Filmmakers usually live immersed in shortcomings to look for workarounds and learn to take them as part of their craft. Like warriors on their scars.

I think that people who want the image Fuji X series cameras give will overlook or work around the ergonomic shortcomings of this new camera, while those who don't will continu to happily shoot with their preferred camera. 'S all good, man.

I don't see anything more beautiful than the colors produced by this camera (I don't give a shit if they are 8-bit even though 4:2.2 is available through HDMI) but I told you already:
They should really hire you!
Cheers, as both Panasonic (GH5, G7, etc) and Fuji (X-H1 for pre-order) customer,
E :-)

I don't think I will comment on this new Fuji. I have no desire to buy it, so I am not going to investigate every detail of it, so my opinion would not be based on all the facts.
It looks pretty nice, but I don't think from what I have seen they went far enough. But they did a least made an effort. So good for Fuji Fans.
 
 

I think the competition is the determining factor not on features, but release.  Gotta hurry up and make some shit to stay in the game.  Canon doesn’t seem to care when Sony, Panasonic, Fuji, Olympus, etc come out with something..  Let Nikon release a shoulder strap though...  lol. I guess if we’re going to be 8-bit in 2018 (?).  Fuji’s straight-off-the-card image is one of the best imo.  Beautiful color science.

Pardon me, Chris and Jon, but it is too little to be disappointed. As Jon wisely pointed out earlier above:
Cinematographers or DoPs use light meters! :-)

keep in mind they are using pre-production units (with the goal of exposing such bugs) XT2 had some broken things pre-release. hopefully Fuji are listening..

You can set the XT2 to just use the control dial and to use the full range of shutter speeds, I never turn the top dial. Also, unlike Sony and others, there's actually 1/48 instead of 1/50 if you're shooting 24p.

the headphone jack, 15mn limit & battery life are dealt with the mandatory booster grip. it's still a hybrid camera, so nice to be able to make it lighter when just shooting stills.  edit: BTM_Pix beat me to it!
the extra crop is only when shooting 4K and is x1.17. you can add a $100 kipon speedbooster/focal reducer, slap on some EF/Nikon glass and get close to FF look..
speaking of kipon, they're soon releasing smart adapters with AF for EF: https://www.fujirumors.com/kipon-announces-3-canon-ef-fujifilm-fx-gfx-autofocus-adapters/
 

@BTM_Pix  fyi XT2 doesn't shoot DCI 4K, 200mbps codec, 120Fps or has got Eterna film simulation. Besides i can see couple gimbal shots which may have IBIS on..
 
@Kisaha i've switched from Canon (5D3/C100) and Sony (A7S2) to Fuji. Haven't really looked back..

This camera is much more interesting than apparently seems by the initial reactions from outsiders. Do you want a video camera really cinematic straight out the box? Buy FUJIFILM; IBIS + 200Mbps matches a unique combo, is actually something coupled there and truly tops.
