You already have "better low light" in GH5s.

Making such a high resolution m43 sensor (needs to be 33.2MP in 16:9) while giving it a decent high ISO results also in stills is not an easy job. 

Thats OK, but, still, while walking its not gonna behave like a gimbal. Actually, I bought a gimbal after few months with the E M1 II. The IBIS is great shooting hand held, but its not a steadicam. 

Wishful thinking. Maybe one day it will become real.

As an owner of E M1 II +12-100mm F4, you won't get gimbal level smoothness while walking. 

And the 6DII sensor has a low dynamic range.

I'm not sure why everyone is certain it will have 4k? The 6DMk2 doesn't. It would seem this camera is being pitched as a stills camera, not a hybrid.

Why do you think that? We are not sure at all, as we know Canon, 1080p could be very realistic... 

No word about video specs, maybe they are waiting with the surprise of 1080p only...

Is this a trick question? Since... FOREVER! As an extreme example... ever shoot with a smartphone? Ever shoot with a 4 x 5 camera? Photography is ALL about capturing light. And Cinema is moving Pictures.

Talking about sensor size and capturing light. So this is why the huge crop of EOS R in 4K is so stupid. 

In 4K PAL mode, the Sony gives only 25p. If you want to shoot 24p or 30p, you have to switch to NTSC mode, format the SD card and then every time you switch on the camera, an annoying "NTSC" message will appear on the screen for some time.

All other manufacturers allow you to shoot 24p/25p/30p in PAL mode.

Have any of you addressed Sony with this matter?   

So why best auto focus cameras use Phase detection? Only Panasonic discovered it has an "image defects"?

Of course it makes a difference when you see a 8MP picture on a 2MP screen. Details and noise goes away.

Same sensor as the E M1 II, same 12 bit.

Shared but without BSI...

As you can see here, the A7S II is down under in sales. The hottest cake is A7III. 

So why bother rushing?

Reasons for that may vari: sensor resolution too low for stills, outdated specs or price. Maybe next model will be more of a hybrid to attract more customers.

Then You can buy the E M1 II for less money, same video modes (missing only 1080/120p), same codec, almost same ibis.

Even the GH5 has good weather sealing with the flippy screen.

The real test will be in a less bright place, a room for exampe with not one person but few. Then we'll see how it track faces.

12 bit only in Snowdonia...

72Mbps in HEVC is the same as 72Mbps in H.264. That 50% bitrate saving marketing BS only applies to extremely compressed materials for streaming.

Tell that to Andrew:

otherwise who wants 10 bit at only 72 Mbps

It is 72 in HEVC so more like 140Mbps in H.264.

S1R doesn't interest me. 

And the S1 is up against some powerful competition of the Nikon Z6 with ProRes RAW for only US$2K

You need to add the Atomos price to that. The S1 will be also 2K$, we'll see what it offers. I think auto focus will be also a very important factor.

Its similar to Nikon Z7 which has a nice auto focus in video...

Weight 900 grams... that's heavy.

Why? Are you going to use them on another camera?

Launch is almost here, Full Frame with 4K 60p, maybe 5K, many Video options, Auto focus is still a mystery...
