We need an "Adobe DNG" kind of lens mount. The GH5 is more limited by the m43 sensor than by marketing, if they keep the m43 sensor. That Veydra post could hint to great things!

he could probably use a GH4 which is a great camera if equipped with the right lenses and accessories.

Narcos drone shoots are made with a GH4 (read so in IMDB) and they look gorgeous. 

Broadcast is a concept that now is dead. (Un)fortunately, most tech people at TVs are engineers and they want to have a say. But if your docs are properly graded and delivered on a decent codec, they probably can pass the technical tests. Truth is that for how much we masturbate our minds about cameras, once you watch the final video, nobody can tell exactly which camera it was recorded with in the beginning. 

The question is how much money you will make with the camera?? If you return it, will you make the same money??

Raw interviews?? Your budget goes on hard-drives!! A GH4 has been good enough for the aerial shots in Narcos. 

We love grumpy reviews!!!!!

At 4000$ per lens, there won't be a cue!!! 

I started for art, at some point I made money and now it's neither. So I want to restart with love for art!!! 

What I love about videomaking is that you can convey a message or a story controlling every aspect of it!

I read the actor (who is brazilian) took 20Kg+ for the series.

You can stop to think about image quality while watching Narcos!?!

In fact I forget about everything technical and get caught, but then there's a night scene and I miss grain!!! Plata o plomo o ruido!!! ;-D

I got Netflix recently and, for example, watching Narcos, I miss the grain. Mostly on night scenes. Clean 4K night scenes remembers me we are watching actors on a set!!! 

Bought it, I hope to reuse my 7D!

Question, since this lens can be fitted with nearly any mount, is there a reason you couldn't fit it with the Nikon F mount, and then speedboost it to a Sony E mount and make it a T1.9 or whatever?

It would probably vignette!

Or use really shadow DOF. If the screen behind is out of focus it won't show moire! 

Less compressed than RAW??

Without a proper CPU it will never be able to properly work with 4K files. Of course an SSD helps. But it's worth throwing money on your Macbook??

Eric you'r music is great and your tenacity will bring you far!!! Keep going!!!

For those that think FCP X is not a pro app, this guy edited a 2 hour long concert with like 50cams with a MacPro and FCP X. Good luck to those wanting to do that on Premiere!!! The only smart alternative to FCP X if you don't want to go Mac or don't like magnetic timeline, is Da Vinci Resolve, imho.

This is almost an impulse buy, because the price seems quite low..

Maybe too low, in Amazon Italy it costs 3300€

The problem is that watching a movie doesn't have a price. A Whopper, a Coca Cola can or even a Sony A7S has a price. Watching a movie goes from zero to ??? And the fact that for years it has been free hasn't helped, imho.

What do you guys think of this, I am doing multicopter aerial shots of houses, boats, cars, landscapes etc.  I need a small camera with good image quality and will be using a gremsy h3 gimbal. What camera would you pick of the bmpcc and the gx80?   I can buy them for the same price.

In theory is a very good camera. It's MUCH better to use a 4K cam for drones. But if you are money tight and can't fail, I would search the gimbal+camera combination in YouTube. Too many anti-vibration systems can conflict instead of help!

I love how you compose your shots!!!

They probably sprayed something to keep you sleeping. Most important thing is that you are OK, but having things stolen sucks!

So the "metal soldering in a custom bikes workshop" video is over?? I will miss it!! ;-)

I am digging Resolve to be able to leave Macs. You either buy the powerfulest iMac that will suit you great in FCP X and really good in Resolve. Or with half the money you buy an already assembled Dell/HP that will only run Resolve equally well or twice better once you add a GeForce 1080. 

About monitors, Dells seems to offer best bang for buck.
