The A7R2 in aps-c 4k mode is outstanding - clean to 25600iso, little to no nasties at all.  
Full frame is a little ropey but still good IMO, and still way better than what you'll be used to with the a7ii.
I shot all of this in full frame mode on the a7r2 _  https://vimeo.com/142447881   password: scotland
I was shooting with a 24mm f5.6 lens so the iso was usually at around 3200-12800 in some of the lower light scenes.  As you see, the image is good, even on the flawed full frame mode.  As you probably know, the still mode is unreal, and having a full frame 42mpx camera for stills and a camera that shoots flawless 4k in aps-c mode, as well as damn good (if a bit flawed) video in full frame mode is a great package - particularly now it shoots uncompressed raw in stills
 

No way,Gh series don't step to FF,except Pany release new series,new mount.
May join T mount and called Lumix LS.
my expect for GH5 is real Global Shutter,
and full readout (no sensor crop),new monster continue-video Auto Focus.
i don't care about mega pixel.

Sorry, but there are very little internal components in fluorescent fixtures:
terminals wires a ballast (when not using CFLs) The only issue would be a bad ballast (which can be replaced for ~$10) or bad wire insulation (which would be very quick to find out because it'll dead short and/or electrocute you).
 
You're probably confusing LED panels or power adapters, which run off VDC and have many electronic components. (Usually the problem here is the rectifier/power supply being poorly insulated and the components being crammed way too close together and to the main board.)

You can go even cheaper by using standard light fixtures. They sell T8/T12 bulbs (lots of light for cheap) and CFLs. So if you go with a homebrew solution, then you can still use Kino bulbs.

and 2 of these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/258267-REG/Kino_Flo_55C_K55_True_Match_Compact_Lamp.html
= Smallish portable Kino for around $100?

Ugly, ugly post. Here's a clean table:

This is the biggest joke I have ever seen in my all life.

Tonight I saw a UFO pass in the sky, and the little green men who were inside greeted me!
 

Your CFast media price seems a little wonky.
Cursory search reveals that the approved Lexard 3400x cards cost:
128GB = USD 341.99
256GB = USD 677.80
And I mean, those are B&H prices. Guaranteed you can find a better deal.
 
That said, this stuff (media prices) changes by the second, so I respect your compiling effort.
I await the published Raven specs. Hoping for some real awesome DR and possibly even HDRx capability.

As a chronic sufferer of being a pre-order warrior, I can't wait to get my hands on the URSA Mini 4.6k. Some friends have said I shouldn't wait and just get an FS7, but I don't mind waiting a bit. My gut says it's going to be a monster. 
In case you missed it: http://noamkroll.com/chatting-about-the-new-4-6k-ursa-sensor-more-with-dan-may-president-of-blackmagic-design/

They have done this 4 years in a row so imho, its the customers and forum readers that needs to wake up and stop being surprised and/or angry about this every summer.

Its done when its done, no hurry, no one needs the camera today unless they are very bad at the planing part of being a filmmaker.
 

​Nice find. I've been waiting for that camera. Suddenly it seems even more interesting

Dual iso on the new a7000. 15.5 stops.

Hmmm, I'm tempted, let's hope it works in 4k and in slog2

​Haha, great to hear we're getting the same results! :)

Can you elaborate more on what you're trying to accomplish in your landscape work, what tools you're using to expose, and how you're processing your files? Perhaps we can fine tune your method to help get you the results you want. 

​Thank you. You're absolutely correct. Shot a high DR scene at 200, 800 and 1600. All files identical.

ISO values on the Pocket have no bearing on its RAW files besides giving you a different preview. Of I'm incorrect, please provide a source that clarifies how and why. 

Andrygl if you're interested in dynamic range I strongly recommend all the articles and data (which pertain to stills) of Bill Claff 
https://home.comcast.net/~NikonD70/
What you're after is best achieved using Magic Lantern's Dual ISO feature (or whatever they call it now).  It essentially takes one interlaced frame at a low ISO, another at a high ISO, and stitched them together, sort of video HDR.  Cool stuff.
Nikon has the highest dynamic range in still cameras, but it doesn't translate, far as I can tell to their video.  Sony's A7S has great high ISO dr, but is limited on the low end.  Believe it not, what some people really love about the Nikon D800 (for still again) is that it can shoot at a real 50 ISO, or something like that.  It means they can shoot wider open at a fast shutter speed without a ND filter.
The shots you took could achieve a high effective DR by shooting with a graduated ND filter, that's probably what a professional would do.  
Finally, DR is more of a physical nature of the silicon light detecting materials which, I believe, has long ago been maximized.  I doubt it will ever get much better than the BMPCC in MFT sized sensors.  In full-frame, the 5D3 already shoots RAW with ML.  If Sony ever makes an A7S that records RAW that will probably be as good as it gets in our lifetime, until, if ever, they find another light detecting material.
 

​Another step up in price is FS700 + 7Q for RAW. Supposedly 15 stops, but I doubt it amounts to that in practice. FS7 does RAW as well, but I don't know of anyone shooting it in RAW. Maybe Oliver has?

Cheapest digital cameras claiming above 13 stops I know of is the URSA and URSA mini. But those are not out yet. 

No shit there's halos. That's a side effect of maximizing every stop.
And no, I didn't ask for someone to comment on personal footage that I purposely shot handheld on horrible, cheap lenses, I solely uploaded to get an opinion on high dynamic range image sensors.
Let's get the obvious stuff out of the way too: the grade is over-saturated, WB is completely off, footage is clearly over-sharpened, there's vignetting, there's fringing and the highlights suffer from magenta tearing.
Thanks anyways though, I'll treasure your post.

Take solace in the fact that no matter which camera you choose, it'll depreciate by 50% in a year when the newest version is released

I bought one a couple months ago and I absolutely love it.  I got a 5d2 around a year ago (mainly for work) and wanted to start shooting RAW so I picked up a VAF on eBay for a very fair price.  I switch between video and stills a lot and the biggest problem is remembering to take the thing out when I take pictures.  When I first got a card fast enough for ML RAW, I figured I could "shoot around" the moire and aliasing, but I quickly realized that I NEEDED the VAF if I wanted an acceptable image with RAW on the 5d.  I know some people don't need or use a VAF with a 5d because they use the crop mode which essentially removes the problems.  I don't want to shoot everything with a 3x crop since I use mostly tighter lenses.
Here's my first ML RAW test video with my 5d and the 5D2b, I think it turned out decent (note, I'm not very good at the workflow/color grading) -
