How does it handle the 7-14mm zooms at 7mm?

Perhaps it's mentioned elswhere, if not, according to the GH5 manual pdf 4K has an ETC of 1.4 and for FHD an ETC of 2.7.  Page 148.

4K ETC could be good for super 16 lenses.

Looks pretty damn good. Nice to see. AF wise.

This video on noise also shows 1600 ISO is as far as I would go. No real improvement as far as I see.

Really? I'm with Orangenz on this one, the GH4 was dramatically noisier than this. 3200 here is what 800 looked like on the GH4, maybe a little bit cleaner even. 

Have we been conditioned to be afraid of any and all noise? Go back and look at any cinema older than 20 or so and you'll see grain everywhere. Super pristine images are a relatively recent development. Yes, technology moves forward and standards change, but I'd say that the level of noise we see at 3200 on GH5 wouldn't even be noticed by audiences on Youtube, or at regular viewing distances from a television. 

All Blackmagic need to do is release a sensibly designed camera in the 1-3k range and they'd make a killing.

How about a handycam design, like the NEX VGs or JVC LS300?

Something sensible for handholding, with EVF and LCD included. If they are worried about protecting the Ursa line they could restrict it to S16-M43 size sensor.

10 bit looks completely unusable! ? ?

A bit over the top.

Why don't Sony, Olympus, and Panasonic release h.265? Because it's not widely adopted yet, and they'll be inundated with calls to their help center. 

Sure, but they are including h.265 recording for the '6K' anamorphic update. Why not add it as an option for internal 10 bit 4K as well? It would solve some big issues.

Why don't Panasonic release an h.265 option for encoding 10 bit 4K? 200-400mbps. Problem solved.

I don't see why it should be exclusive to 6K anamorphic 8 bit.

And on that note, why not 400mbps h.264 IPB?

So for someone who still is more then happy with 1080p output projects, I'm assuming shooting 4k as much as I can and downscaling with this camera is going to be the way to go? 

4K downscaled to 1080p is the way to go, on the GH4 it looks much, much better than the internal 1080p. Less moire, cleaner, sharper. 

Log being a paid upgrade when they're including 10-bit in camera is outrageous.

By the way here's an interesting comment from Veydra on why they stopped their anamorphic lens project... does that point to a multi aspect sensor on the GH5?

I don't think so. It probably just means less crop.

And in the comment section they are talking about:

"REC709 preview when shooting V Log."

B

Makes sense, 10-bit in camera isn't half as useful if you need an external camera to help you expose V-Log anyway.

I assumed this was 4K/422/10 Bit, but is this only 1080p/422/10bit? 

4K 10-bit 4:2:2 up to 30fps.

is the 2.5x crop true?

Highly doubt it. 43rumors said there would be no 4K crop in a post that got everything else right.

However how many external recorders can do 4K 60fps?

Shogun Inferno will be able to, and I suspect we'll see more at NAB.

Sony will be on to this already and will be looking to trump it with the a7r3 before the GH5 is released. They won't hang about.

A few weeks ago it was 'no way Panasonic' will do internal 10-bit', now it's 'Sony will trump it before it's released'.

No way. Sony don't even have 10-bit 4K in the FS5. They have higher end ranges to protect.

Panasonic's official page says 'early 2017'.

If it is a 4:3 6000 pixel wide sensor then it would have to be bumped to 28MP.

Then question is how are they doing 4K from 28MP? Pixel binning? Oversampling?

So many unanswered questions, I'm surprised how little info they released.

It's 18MP.

What about the codec ?? That seems a lot of information to fit in a H264 file... ? 422 10 bit 4K 60p...

10-bit is only available in camera up to 4K 30p. Perhaps 10-bit 60p for external recording?

This is from 43rumors

"“6K PHOTO” is a high speed burst shooting function that cuts a still image out of a 4:3 or 3:2 video footage with approx.18-megapixel (Approx.6000 x 3000 effective pixel count) that 6K image manages. The name ‘6K PHOTO’ is tentative."

Right. It does make sense. I don't think anyone in the GH5 demographic has any use for 6K video. It would be a nice absurd feature to have though.

It says 6K 30p and then in a different square 8mp 60p Photo Burst.
A little click baity imo if both are for photo only.

I hope we are wrong but not holding my breath either.

It is quite deceptive marketing if it's not for video, since they presented it as a step on the road to 8K video in 2020.

Nice features! The important piece of the puzzle to me will be the sensor and DR.

The 18MP sensor is (hopefully) an encouraging omen, instead of using the 20MP sensor. 

Just now, sanveer said:

Are u sure he said 'internal' 4:2:2? I could hardly understand his accent. Panasonic have done the introduction as a holding intro. They will definitely improve features

Definitely internal, second speaker just restated it. 

Just now, deezid said:

how is this even possible?? I slapped my face to make sure this is not a dream.... lool

Is this the first time all the crazy rumours have turned out to be true?

18mp, 6K 30p, internal 10-bit 4:2:2 for 4K.

6K 30p, what the hell. This is a beast.
