Firmware 1.1 just announced, releases April 24th. Includes:
-10-bit 4:2:2 in 1080p
-4:3 anamorphic mode (3398x2496), also in 10-bit 4:2:2
-exposure adjustment problem in VFR mode (I'm guessing this is the darker screen when using shutter angle)
-V-Log high-ISO ghosting problems (doesn't this happen in normal profiles too? Hope this addresses that too)

You mean the automatic punch-in when you move the focus ring on native lenses? How would the camera know that you've moved the focus ring on a non-electronic lens, that doesn't communicate with the camera?
Personally I find the automatic punch-in distracting and annoying, and just assign focus zoom to one of the function buttons.

Yes.

I don't have the GH5 yet, but here's a wish list and things I wish my GH4 had done:
2.7 or 2.5K up to ~80-90fps, at 10-bit 4:2:2
Focus punch-in while recording
Assign audio levels to one of the dials
Let us choose which settings C1, C2 etc change, and which are sticky/global. So that we could for example change between regular and overcrank framerates without having to reset white balance, picture profile, etc.
Let us choose which different options the Display button toggles through- for example I never use the Info screen (black grid with settings), and I'd love to not have to cycle past it when I'm trying to switch between the clean preview and the preview with settings.
A smart UI overhaul that makes better use of the touchscreen- more smartphone-ey I guess. Like the newer Blackmagic firmwares- swipe to bring in different displays, etc.

Yes.

Are your Sigma and XL Canon or Nikon mount? If Nikon, what values are you entering in the camera for focal length? Remember that you need to enter the effective focal length of the lens and booster together.
Even with the correct value, though, you can't expect IBIS to absorb walking motions. Not even big expensive gimbals or Steadicam can do that. Which is why steadi/gimbal operators have to learn the "duck walk".
The GH5's USB port doesn't support external charging/power. You would have to use a dummy battery. A big old NP-F battery is going to weigh nearly as much as the battery grip anyways, might as well do the grip and then you can hot-swap batteries.

I will echo the advice to get the best tripod & head you can afford. You don't need to spend thousands, but you're probably looking at $300-400 to get something that's workable (unless you find a good used deal).
In my experience, those cheap Manfrottos with the one-sided tilt mechanisms are nearly useless- once you loosen the tilt lock knob, the tilt mechanism goes all wobbly. I would definitely get at least a used Manfrotto 701, which is workable. I used a 701 for a couple years, then went to a Benro S6, and then got REALLY lucky on a Sachtler Ace L with carbon legs on eBay.
The 701 was workable for a light setup, once I got used to the fixed drag. The S6 was a good step up, it was nice to have adjustable tilt drag and adjustable counterbalance. The lack of a pan drag adjustment sucks though, and overall it's built pretty cheaply- plastic knobs, plate release button was sticky, etc. Both the 701 and S6 are dampened, but I wouldn't quite call them smooth.
The Sachtler is a whole 'nother league. Smooth as silk, drag on both axes can go light or nice 'n heavy, counterbalance is more finely adjustable. Having a bowl mount is really nice. Everything about it is really nice, and it makes using my old tripods feel awful, haha. And it's not just a placebo effect- I can see a definite difference in my shots with it.

This ghosting issue might have just killed the GH5 for me. Maybe the All-I will be better?

You have to switch the camera to manual photo mode, then the 1/3-stop increment option will be available in the menu.

The GH5 has only been out a week, relax. Of course Metabones will update the firmware, but it probably takes more than five business days.
The Lens Turbo is a dumb adapter, there shouldn't be any issues at all.

Same here, and I'm pretty much a Panasonic fanboy. I'll wait to see if Sony does anything at NAB, or whatever the next photo tradeshow after that is. And I'd like to see how the 400mbps firmware looks, as 150mbps is a little light for the high-motion stuff I shoot.
Ahhh, who am I kidding? If I wasn't broke I'd probably have it already
