This one is also entirely shot with 1080p:
Yet for my next shot, I think I will go entirely for 4k, just to see the difference

I believe Jase shoots his videos in 1080p... or at least his earlier GX80 stuff was. 

So here's a thing - I can't justify an Adobe CC subscription just for Photoshop (I use FCPX and/or Resolve for video) as I wouldn't use it enough, but thought there was no other software that would allow me to utilise my large-ish LUTs collection for stills. Just discovered that Affinity Photo (https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/) - that's not too shabby as an editor - allows just this - for just GBP29.99! Very happy and looking forward to a lot of processing over Christmas.

For sure! Will do some shooting on christmas

@jase,
Are you going to show us any test shots? It looks like a big, but really killer setup!

ah! So it's not like a manual lens! Cool!

Well...
1. Your Sigma will be more balanced on the G80.
2. You have a few more video options.
3. You already mentioned an external microphone port.
4. I assume since the G80 is a bigger, heavier camera, the 5-axis must be tuned more to its size and weight, so the jump in weight you want to add, the G80, theoretically, will handle better.

Sorry, I meant in FF fov and with the 4K crop. Forgot that you use 1080p and the XL version. So it's basically 23-45mm  in 1080p and a little narrower in 4K. 
The 20mm is a great lens as well, I'm on my second copy but I don't use it often. It's just that for me the 15mm hits the sweet spot if both the subject and background is equally important, like in travel photography. 

No, this is more like a 11,5 - 22,5 f1.1 - or less wide, once you go for 4K or enable electronic stabilization. I think i will get the smallrig cage and another handle that mounts on the cage, so that I can sleep better at night
About 15mm vs. 20mm - i totally agree with you. 15mm is about the same as the iPhones do - and they work pretty well. However, i dont really know why, but i just love the Pana 20mm - so small and yet a linear focus, although the throw is a bit long for my taste. The second version feels way better than the first version.

Yes.

Here you go:

Excuse the bad quality, but my phone is the only other camera I have  I also took your recommendation for the Smallrig Grip - awesome stuff! Yet i am thinking about whether I should add a metalwire or sth like that to the grip and the camera straps, just in case the pressure on the hotshoe is too big... For now it feels pretty rock solid, but I dont know whether I dare to trust this in the long run.
During christmas I will make a small example video. Up until now I am just running around here at home and loving the lowlight as well as the focus ring, feels like Voigtländer! 
I think this GX80+ SB XL + Sigma 18-35 combo is kind of unmatched, there isnt another stabilized system out there that gives me the DOF of f2.2 (FF equiv) with such a wide angle zoom. Loving it! Now if the GX80 would have a mic in an 4k60p I probably would ban myself from this forum to not get caught by the GAS again. Have to admit, this camera is really nailing it for me. Paired with the Pana 20mm, I have a very stealthy kit when I need it, with the Sigma I am now ready for my next backpacking trip.

Well now you mention it, I have made up my mind - after fully reviewing the purchase - I WON'T be getting the 1DX mk II. 
For these reasons: 
1. The wi-fi module which should be built in, is very expensive for what it is. 
2. The touch screen isn't tilted or articulated. Also with no exposure aids whatsoever, an additional monitor is essential. These are pricey and I imagine it would be awkward trying to use DPAF and an external monitor at the same time.
3. Memory Cards + File Sizes. Turnover is important. Sometimes shoots are so thick and fast, you need more memory cards in case you don't have time to dump the footage and format the cards. These Cfast 2 cards are bloody pricey! 
4. CLOG. Like austinchimp said, I find dynamic range very important. Having looked at examples of the pretend CLOGs available, I see very little dynamic range benefit. A little more leeway in the shadows and a smoother knee, but not enough really. The roll-off is still pretty steep. I'm much more used to SLOG. 
5. Stills. Nothing to moan about however the body as a stills camera is overkill for me, now I've held it. It's cool, but it's a chunky picture taker!
6. Target market. It IS a journalists camera - fast action and ready for anything. Great! But I'm not the right market for this product, the community around the camera is slim. Plus very little movement on third party accessories for video shooters. 
What I am doing: 
I have an investment in the FS5 which can be stripped down and bulked up as necessary. I've decided to pump my cash into this system and make it the best tool it can be, so I can get on and not want/need another camera for years. 
The FS5 can be stripped down for gimbal use and motion control sliders, and souped up into a 4k120fps monster. Using a quick release system and an assistant, I can change from tool to tool pretty swiftly. 
Autofocus? It's not critical, just very nice to have. But I think I'll be selling all my EF glass and buy Sony glass instead, so they work natively at the highest performance without issues. I'd be "stuck" in the Sony system however I don't really care, I'll have everything I need to shoot video. 
I'll grab an A6300/A6500 for stills or something. 
I think it's really beneficial to stick to a single camera system. You can really get to learn it and master it. All this chopping and changing can slow down progress and take your eye off the whole point: creating great content.

Albert ( @Brother ) traded in the G7 for the GX80! Of course he had to go and get one of the sickest lenses out there for it.
 
 

You are so right! Problem solved, phew...

Limitations: 0-255, only a 30p (29.97p) option, perhaps more moiré IMO
Benefits: multiple aspect ratios (1:1 has 2880 vertical lines!), more creative options perhaps.

Not that it's important or that anyone's counting, but this thread has just passed the threshold of becoming the most popular thread on EOSHD in terms of posts (over 1400) and views (over 142,000 and climbing) just overtaking the previous top dog "Surprise! Sony Alpha A6000 video mode huge improvement."

You are so right! Problem solved, phew...

Hey,
I visited Japan for a week, and tested out the 5D III and to see what it can do with Magic Lantern. 
 

You are so right! Problem solved, phew...

Will do. What I can tell for now after a quick test: the focus ring is awesome, nearly on the same level as the the one of the Voigtländers - nicely damped. Vignetting is clearly visible in normal photomode and (although less) in 1080p. Only in 4k, when the additional crop is applied the vignetting disappears. I yet have to see whether the vignetting appears when electronic stabilization is added. Yet, the lens itself is quite the monster... my hands were getting tired quite soon.
No joke... I totally dont get it to be honest, already mailed the Metabones support, no reply yet. When i fully zoom until 35mm, the lowest aperture I can set is f3.6 - something is not right.

So, I finally got my Sigma 18-35 in combination with the Canon EF Speedbooster XL. Yes, this thing is huge! But up until now it ticks so many boxes for me, that I am considering to keep it.
Just one thing is really weird: when i turn the zoom ring, the aperture (!) changes, no matter which mode I am in, even in M or A?! It starts at f1.1 @18mm which is correct - however it goes all the way up until it hits f3.6 when zoomed @35mm - I dont get it, maybe @conurus could chime in?

Well, the LX100 doesn't have a constant aperture throughout either, I still find it a lovely camera. I don't do zoom-ins/-outs. I just treat it as multiple focal lenghts in one... so for convenience sake of not having to swap lenses. Want to change the framing/focal length? Do like on an interchangeable lens camera. Stop recording, get something that has the focal length/field of view you're after, adjust settings accordingly to get the proper exposure and hit record again. Might be a little slower than just zooming in and knowing you're good, but I'm a slow kinda guy. No rush, no stress. Admittedly not very run 'n gun, though.
True story about the weight shift, you still have internal movement. Didn't understand why he would say that either to be honest.
This camera might be great for some... I've heard some voices of people who want to use it as a 2nd camera to a Panasonic GH and in certain conditions it might be a great pair. Great as an all-in-one travel cam too. But for filmmaking, I think this doesn't really cut it. It's roughly the same price as the G80 w/ 14-140mm, which I think would make a nicer option.
