Panasonic was going to release the GH5s yesterday but after reading this thread they realised it would never live up to expectations and cancelled the whole project.

It would be ironic if this new GH5 was a more 'stills' oriented camera with a higher MP count and reduced video capability.

So many hopes and dreams projected on that tiny M43 sensor ........

Strange that when the GH5 came out a few months ago it was hailed as an amazing camera that fulfilled may people's dreams of a near perfect camera for very little money. Now there seems to be hysterical expectation for a new one that will promise to fix a suddenly important  list of faults and deficiencies.......

Agree - once it was desirable to use the best features of each ( PP for editing and Audio - Resolve for grading) but recent editions of both apps have brought them much closer together in terms of capability. I'd still argue that Resolve is  better for grading but it's no longer significantly inferior in other areas and PP is not too bad for grading (I just find the interface messy). You do need the studio version to work with 4k 10bit GH5 files but the price is not unreasonable and if you are doing a lot of work I'd say well worth it for not dealing with  transcoding and roundtriping which are 'workarounds' and not 'workflows'.

Not enough of an upgrade over the MK2 for stills and without 10bit and / or a better internal codec for Video it's not going to replace my GH5 for Video. I somehow doubt that the A7s3 will address these issues so for me it's a win , win as far as my budget is concerned.
I very much doubt that given the very minor changes to the video specs of this new model.

I had an A7s for video only and many of those were non issues. The reason I didn't use it for stills was that 12mp is not enough for most commercial jobs. I use A7r2's for stills and none of those issues bother me at all. No camera is perfect but to say Sony mirrorless cameras (I assumed you meant the whole system and not just a video orientated A7s) have 'major' issues and flaws is stretching it a bit far - maybe try the A7r3 which I think will address most if not all of your current problems?

Not all photographic situations require large DR and the 5D3's DR is more than adequate for most situations.
You loose money when you swop systems unless you downgrade or buy less lenses. Investment in a lens system IS a big deal for most people. My Canon lens system has multiple times more financial value than my camera bodies.  Camera bodies are short term assets with limited lifespans due to sensor tech evolution where as lenses are largely a mature technology and a long term investment.
Not everyone has just a 'few' lenses nor a large fund to swop systems '4-5' times either.......

But can't be used with the OP's existing Canon lenses
