So which is the most accurate? By manual WB are you using a grey card/exp disk or just setting both cameras to the same Kelvin and Green/magenta tint values?

If the gain is significant and the cost is similar - er let me think about that.....

I don't find the battery life a problem (it's more like 30mins BTW) and if you want RAW, ProRes, 4k60p and dual ISO without any other unnecessary features then I think BM did an excellent  job esp on the UI and priced it at an amazing level. No camera is perfect but not having a perfect camera is not a reason you can't shoot excellent footage -  It seems a universal reason to moan on forums though....

Various hybrid camera owner here.  Tell me how I can do this with any of my camera's OEM bats.  30-50 is what I typically experience.
I think the Black Magic camera is a fine value.  You don't want it, don't get.  No need to make excuses.  All hybrid cameras shooting video are a compromise.

I firmly disagree. Every single camera needs accessories... Trust me, this camera needs the most affordable accessories you find out there : -)

Until someone does a teardown we won't know what the cooling system is doing.

'Colour Science' is the systems used by manufacturers to interpolate missing colour information that their sensors can't capture. The Red Green and Blue colour filter arrays ( CFA's ) on sensors determine how accurate the colour capture can be on a sensor with stronger colour filters enabling better colour fidelity however stronger filters mean that less overall light is getting to the photo-sites which reduces sensitivity so manufacturers are always playing these 2 things off against each other. As photosite sensor size goes down due to smaller sensors and higher density's the situation is getting worse but obviously better algorithms are at work trying to interpolate missing colour information. On top of that if you are using an internal Y'CbCr codec where there is reduced colour information in the first place even with a 4.2.2 codec and worse a 4.2.0 codec you are left with not that much colour info to work with. RAW which is RGB is obviously better here. Now most people are not too bothered about differentiating between slightly different hues of green in foliage but our eyes and brains are programmed to be extremely sensitive to even the slightest changes in skin colour so getting interpolated colour decisions wrong in this area even by a very tiny amount will lead to huge apparent differences in skin tone quality and people liking or hating a particular brand's 'colour science'. Canon's approach seems to be one of it knows it can't get it accurate so let's make it pleasing and give everyone a nice suntan.

yeah all the crap they go on with if they are going to sell it like that, then it should come with a soldier to carry it and the spare batteries you need and maybe a few lenses as well ?

Yes sorry I got confused with the OP asking for multiple GPU use. Resolve should use the GPU for rendering if it's configured correctly but I think playback is CPU based. I've spent ages optimising the various settings in Resolve to optimise performance while watching the resource monitor in Windows.

IBiS can create weird warping effects at the frame edges with wide lenses. It's really a stills feature to prevent camera shake.

IBIS is not a panacea. It is different than lens IS or a tripod.
I like some lenses to have IS for run n gun and what not. It is very interesting that you suggest the cheap Tamron, how good is the IS? And the touch focus?
The NX 16-50S is 2-2.8f, so it is wider, equally fast in the same focal lengths and a lot more tele, while its stabilization is very very good. 18-35mm is very limited for run n gun.

Most (serious) photographers will be shooting RAW so picture settings are irrelevant (apart from WB to ensure ETTR is accurate). Videographers need to get more right in-camera as there is less room for adjustment in post production with compressed codecs

No - it should have a MF sensor. FF is not cinematic enough these days.....

Only the Studio version can exploit the GPU.

Who's to say the won't at some point in the future? and come to think of it why can't they put a FF sensor in the same body and sell it for £5000? The really should get their act together - who wants an M43 sensor camera with dual ISO, ProRes, RAW and Resolve Studio for 1350€ anyway..........?

Fair points but are you looking for a singe camera to replace your existing one (GH5) as I was certainly not. For me the P4k just adds capability to my existing GH5 setup - 4k60p, high ISO/low light performance, RAW and extra DR. It won't replace my GH5 but the ludicrous low price it is too good a deal to pass on. If it was more money I'd probably hesitate even with more features but I reckon for and EVF, tilting screen , IBS and bigger battery you would be looking at a lot more than double the price.

Blackmagic puts out an official hardware and configuration guide for every version of Resolve, no better advice than from the people who write the software: https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/DaVinciResolve/20180407-79c607/DaVinci_Resolve_15_Configuration_Guide.pdf

I've got the Flowtech 75 and it's amazing. It's so quick to set up and adjust the height it changes the way you work and it's got incredible stiffness and torsional integrity for using with a fluid head. I've also got the FSB4 but although it's very well engineered it's fluid action is not the greatest and could do with another notch up of friction if you want to do smooth pans with longer focal lengths.

Do you have Resolve Studio or the free version? 
Some good advice there. Don't get hung up on his HD setup as he obviously needs a seriously large amount of storage for his work. Most MB's have provision for dual GPU's as this is a common gaming setup.

They only have gross looking highlights if you overexpose your footage by a ridiculous amount ( 3 stops in that test) as once you move off a base ISO your DR drops so clipping is inevitable. On any camera it is unwise to move off base ISO for this very reason but at least with the P4k you get dual base ISO!

Interesting and BTW I always use the 'overwrite' option in the formatting app as with the quick one  I get write errors. It does take a long time to do as well so not ideal if you are in the middle of a shoot and need to rotate cards quickly and obviously no good if you don't have a laptop with you. 

I wish it were S35 as well! but the P4k is actually not that far off S35 if you add a speedbooster as the 19x10mm sensor is longer and thinner than the stock 17.3 x13mm M43 sensor.
