The 5d3 doesn't have UHS-II support, write speeds are far slower than the CF slot.

So uhs-2 in the cf card via adapter would not reap any benefits either? Shame!

You should mention in your article that there's no CF card that's fast enough to record 4K 24p 14bit lossless, somebody might buy a 5D Mk3 thinking they can. The highest resolution I can record continuously is 3.3K 2.39:1, but continuous doesn't mean endlessly repeatable. The lossless compression needs a bit of headroom, so 2.7-2.8K is a more realistic repeatable recording target. I don't know what the situation is with lossless compression for 10 and 12bit, that would certainly get us closer to 4K.

Has anyone determined if faster write speeds are possible using the latest uhs-2 SD cards such as those from Sony claiming 300MBps write? Two of these cards could be installed in our 5d3's, and one could assume there's a bottleneck somewhere, but perhaps it could give the bump we need to be writing compressed 4k raw?

How is it Europe is shipping before the US?!? 

@EOSHD_Twitter let us know how your camera (firmware 1.0?) works with the metabones xl, including with the sigma 18-35. I'm curious if they've resolved the crashes occurring while zooming, vignetting with Ibis at the wide end, and autofocus. Cheers and enjoy your new filmmaking tool, I hope to receive mine from adorama next week!

I certainly hope Veydra produce 2x anamorphic primes for the GH5, but that may be a long shot. 

Even if it only records C4K at 8bit north of 30p, I believe it can output 60p 10bit via HDMI. 

I'm curious however what the specs are of the "6K" h.265 video mode. Nick Driftwood said it can record up to 30m at 30p. The exit indicates it's 10bit and 200Mbps which sounds promising!

​4.6k video, 10bit 4k, 120fps@2k, and vlog.  Might as well dream

For $600 I would really have appreciated autofocus, and obviously a greater reduction factor.  I, like many, have been waiting to purchase this ever since I received my GH4 back in May, but feel that it's worth closer to $400.  $600 towards a Sony A7S with Canon glass sounds like a better value at this point.  Thoughts?

Did anyone address a comparison between these two cameras for 4k delivery?  I think the 5D3R should hold up very well upscaled to UHD/4k (I will need to try that next) but the difference in detail and sharpness from anamorphic stretched to 2.5k vs the GH4's 4k is apparent when you're comparing the two.  That difference is minimized when sitting further from screen, but even my friends (with un-trained eyes) could see a difference pretty easily.  Still they both produce lovely images, I think Andrew is right, these are the ultimate cameras for the moment.

Related question, does anyone have any info regarding specs/timelines for the metabones adapter for the GH4?

I always knew the 7D had un-leveraged capabilities which is why I held on to mine this long (in addition to some APS glass).  Hope however was waning after 4 years and nothing but a firmware upgrade from Canon in 2012, then a basic ML hack.  I couldn't believe the 50D was showing more promise with RAW development, and the forums hinted the 7D was going nowhere.  Mine crept even closer to my to-sell list, but alas, I shall keep her a bit longer as a handy B-Cam to the 5D3!  I'm also excited for the dual ISO dynamic range enhancements that are available for these cameras.
