I wonder what exactly is the technical conflict between those two which means they can't be included together at once? And will they be in the future, is this a hurdle that can be overcome on a future camera?

Exactly, that extra dynamic range being put into the highlight roll off is what gives the Arri Alexas their famous magic mojo Well Kai is an entertainer/presenter, not a real hard core camera nerdy geek! And he is focused on stills, not cinema. So always take an inch pinch of salt any time he talks about a non-stills subject matter.

For stills: 10 megapixels is a big leap forward from 2 megapixels.

Shoot manual. Might seem like a big effort at first, but it pays off big time in the long run as it is the only way to go. Use zebras/histogram and even better... waveforms (if you have a GH5, or a GH5S! ha), learn them, and use it. Might use a variable ND too if you feel you need it.

Quote from the video comparison with the a7S: I've been saying this for a long time that is the downside of the a7S, what good is insanely lowlight if your shallow DoF is impractical?? With the GH5S you can shoot both in low light *and* a DoF that makes sense for the shot.

Well, the live video stream said not much of anything at all! I think that was just the initial overview of EVERYTHING Now they are going into more details of each product? Might take a loooong time to get around to the GH5 finally at the end! 　

Now we know why Andrew Reid had been so quiet in the GH5S rumor threads! ;-) NDA was tying his hands! I half suspected as much.

Everyone has their own biases at to what is the "best" new feature! I also think the multi aspect ratio sensor is pretty cool. But of course not the "best" feature. Suspect in the long run I'll think the "best" new feature of the GH5S is something else than TC, but I won't be able to determine that just from reading leaked paper specs, and need to wait for the reviews to come in first. I half wonder if multi aspect ratio sensor and IBIS is incompatible with the MFT mount?! Strongly doubt it, but it is a slim possibility I'm curious about. Still got to wait a teeny bit longer....

And the only work around for DSLRs/mirrorless until now has been Tentacle Syncs with Aux TC, but that is quite non-standard and awkward for many people. Awesome when everyone is on board with it though! But if we can avoid this, then good news all round then. I noticed that too, haven't seen a "hot" topic on EOSHD in a while. Anyone know when was the last time? Was it when the GH5 was released? lol

There are two halves to where this heat is coming from: Sensor heat Processor heat Yeah processing power is likely less? But they're using a totally different sensor, totally different design, and it seems perhaps it gives off a lot more heat than other Panasonic designs. Panasonic GH5 will remain a *lot* cheaper than the a7Smk3, and likely will still kick its butt! Being more slickly implemented, and with better features such as waveforms and 10bit internal.

Oh hey there, I share stuff on Facebook!

Well well. GoPro should have entered the drone business YEARS earlier. Or used their tech/codec to go high end and launch a cinema camera perhaps. "Something" Should have been clear the threat of smartphones meant the action camera business could only print them bankloads of money for so long.

Leica after all seems to believe red buttons add special magical properties worth megabuck$$$

Ahhhh true... kinda forgot about that. OOPS! But I'm going to excuse myself out of this by saying it "doesn't count" ;-) Because that was a very very VERY wonky set up. Needs external power. And most importantly of all... needed an extra purchase! The GH5S doesn't, it has a timecode input built right into the camera itself! (with yet another weird new connection... but that is nothing new for us soundies! ha) Oh, and Olympus has never ever ever had this. (be very interested though if you prove me wrong!) Nope! Not in any normal sense of "TC" in terms of production use.

Ah what a moron, I'd even seen myself that video already beforehand! In all this frantic craziness of the GH5S hype I am losing my mind! And my memory.

I have much respect for Matthew Scott! I follow him a little. But I thought he was still with the Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera, hadn't seen anything saying he'd changed over to the GH5? Edit: ohhh... never mind! I look forward to his next blog post talking about the GH5 :-) I hope so? Or maybe the GH5S instead!

Cheap for the price! Although, if I was going to drop $2.5K on a camera it still would be a tough choice for me between this of a second FS700 + Shogun, their prices now are quite similar to a new GH5S! :-o However, I must resist buying any cameras! As focused on sound. But I am excited to work with this camera in the future! Which I am 100% sure I will. Because: FIRST EVER STILLS CAMERA WITH TC!!!!! OMG

High quality 10bit 422 codec. ProRes HQ. Meh. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. If people wish to think of this as "the 4K successor to the BMPCC", then they can, it is a worthy choice!

My immediate thoughts on the Panasonic GH5S is: *FINALLY* the first stills camera with TC I/O! The Megapixel Wars are finally over!

We thank you for your sacrifice!

Don't get your knickers in a twist just yet. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a reason as to why IBIS is missing (*IF* it is missing!). For instance perhaps the new sensor / processor lets off too much heat, thus it needs to be solidly connected to a great heatsink (which would rule out IBIS completely).
