As far as I understand, the Neway CT500HO is an OEM Ikan DH5e and you can have it for almost your budget in PV Deals.
I am actually looking at that option or saving some more money and go for the SmallHD Focus, since it has a couple of attractive features for me like the anamorphic desqueeze or LUTs.

screen grab from a sequence I shot last week (last airbender fan film), it will have quite a bit of vfx once finished

I think you should get both. Spend a month playing with them. Then sell one.
I think 5D is slightly better for short films and GH5 is significantly better for bread and butter jobs.

I just got a PM from john letting me know to contact him using either his Facebook Page or the contact form as he as spam problems with his email account. You should try contacting him on facebook then  

Disappointed at the moment. When I feed it a 4:3 signal from the GH5 and activate 2x desqueeze it cuts off about 30% of the image on the sides. It's like it won't scale the image down enough to fit on the screen.

Did a quick and dirty lens test for illustrational purposes. 
An interesting thing a fellow Bolex-Ana owner discovered is the slight green-cast. Something that is also visible in this test.
 

It's done! Really happy with it especially when compared to the Sankor 16-S I had a couple years ago. It's pretty heavy but not too bad. The RAFCamera clamps are absolutely perfect and excellent quality. The posted shot was literally me running out into the alley and snapping a shot on auto. Thanks for everyone's help on this! 

One day Canon's rep can explain to me why there is 300MBit 4:2:2 on the £1400 XC10 but just 100Mbit 4:2:0 on the £7500 C200

Here it is in action  


The taking lens I got with my cinelux is a Schneider 75mm f/2 Super
I had to focus the anamorphic and moving the camera back and forth to get sharp focus.

I have a Super Cinelux Anamorphic 2X MC, I can try when I come home and let you know  

I did try it, you can attach it with a M42 adapter, M42 reverse ring, M42 Helicoid and Step up/down rings with a clamp.
You need the helicoid to be able to focus the system.
The only problem being that the "taking" lens is usually arount 75 or 90mm which isn't wide enough IMO. 
Here is a picture of the system (with a single focus solution) that I tried the idea with : https://goo.gl/photos/a5uBojn7vj2bR2HV6
Do try it, it is quite a fun experience  

Yeah but even on the Photo side the 6Dmk2 is very disappointing.
They move in 2008 with the 5mk2 creating the DSLR video thing by mistake. Now they do everything they can to cripple their DSLR. For me the final hit was the 5Dmk4. I don't know why people still expect anything from Canon. They never fail to disappoint release after release. I already stopped buying EF lenses, I got a GH5 for video and I'm really considering switching to Sony with the next A7R and A7S camera. Especially now that Sigma and Rokinon are jumping in the FE boat.

2M - this is not in real life. 35NAP family - 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-3M. 2-3, 2-3M bigger and heavier than 2-2, 2-4. Optic scheme the same, image look similar. 2-2, 2-4 looks a little sharper, but if good aligned lenses, all will be good. minimum focus distance, if not modded - 8-10 m. If modded, starts from 35-40 cm, but I recommend to shoot from 1m. to close focus - little squeeze. Also present 35NAP 1-1, but I didn't come across.
 

Early test single focus for 35NAP family. (35NAP 2-2 | Helios 44-2 F:2 | Sony A6300) At the moment, there was a test of possibility of a single focus on these large lenses. The test is done on small lenses, large diameter lenses will be manufactured. Sorry for jitter, pic of DIY body for single below  And question, my friends -  how do you think, you need a single focus for 35NAP family, these large lenses?

Different modifications of old soviet anamorphic projector lenses:
Belarusian Optical and Mechanical Association (BelOMA) (former - Minsk Mechanical Works named after S.I. Vavilov (MMW)
35-NAP-2-3, 35-NAP-2-3M
Rogachev plant "Diaprojector"…
35-NAP-2-3M
Leningrad Optical and Mechanical Association named after V. I. Lenin (JSC LOMO)
35NAP2-2, 35NAP2-4
Novosibirsk Instrument-Making Plant, Lenkinap
35-NAP-1-1
 

Many asked about how I focus. You are welcome! In this way I get maximum possible focus
 

Waiting weekend to detail test single focus for 35NAP

I have an M5 and is my travel camera mostly for photos because my 1dx and 1dx II are too big for that. I had a M before but the M5 it is much better.
I also use the M5 as remote camera or as wide angle second body for some stuff that I cover.
I have only the 11-22 and the 22 2.0 for the rest I use my EF collection.
 
Regarding video I have used only a couple of time a C camera and it is just ok very similar to the 80D, classical canon 1080p
 
For photos:
The good:
+ photo quality, it is good with good DR finally at 100-400 ISO. Classical Canon sensor so I process the Raws as I do with the one for 1Dx. M5 more noisy but to be expected
+ ergonomics
+ touch screen
+ touch screen even when off can be used to change focus point while looking in to EVF, very handy
+ remote port
+ 7/9 fps
+ DPAF very accurate and works even low light. Fast but not blazingly fast.
+ size
+ 11-22 is very very good with IS and tiny and quite affordable. This is why I use it a lot as a second body for wide-angle shoots.
+ 22 2.0 is also very good and super tiny and cheap. A bit slow on the AF side but still usable
+ adapter works well and most EF lens AF work well and quite fast. I have used quite a bit the 24 1.4 and 50 1.2 on it and with great success. I also use the 8-15 fisheye on it quite often
+ wifi
The bad:
- small buffer in RAW
- takes a lot of time to clear the buffer
- much slower than the 1dx in operations like picture review, etc…
- EVF is not great but I hate EVF so maybe I’m not the right guy to comment on it
- no live view while taking burst. A no go for action/sport
- no fully silent mode (fully electronic shutter). Why why and one more time why?!?
 
For video:
+ DPAF very similar to the 1DXII
+ 60fps same quality as 30fps
+ canon colors
- no 4k
- classical soft canon 1080
- less bitrate than the 80D
 
I would not recommend it as primary camera for video there are better choice in the price range.
Where it shines is a travel, backup and eventually B/C camera for canon user thanks to the tiny size but full support including good AF with the EF lens. If my primary system would not be a canon I would not have brought the M5 but for my need is quite good. Of course if it would have had 4k 30p even only at 4:2:0 100 mbits would have been much better for video.

Here is a music video that I shot last month using the GH5 with 35mm and 50mm SLR Magic anamorphic primes. VLog L. 4K 8 bit. IBIS was a nice feature to go w/ the lenses whenever I needed handheld. I'm praying for in-camera anamorphic desqueeze from Panasonic this year!
 

We just completed a 3hr/3part documentary here at work using Resolve.  It's definitely up to the job now.   There are still some issues, but overall it's there. 
 
Panasonic's color is now extremely close to Canon if you like the Canon look.  It's much harder to get Sonys to look like Canon.    I wouldn't hesitate to use a C200 and GH5 on the same shoot. 

Why would you buy a c200 if that is your need though?
This cam seems more like a music video, short narrative setup... Raw will be used alot. 
Now... The c200 could have been an amazing run and gun... But in typical fashion, canon have ballsed it up a bit.

I don't see any real reason to look at GH5 at all, when there are SONY a6300/6500. Bigger sensor, less noise, S-LOGs included, autofocus, and much cheaper. just for 10bit 4:2:2 400Mbit/s? Not for me.
