Looks like the reviewer has an extra finger on his right hand.
Elon is suing open AI for changing their mission from non-profit / open source to for-profit / closed source and to stop Microsoft from licensing AGI from OpenAI...
 

Next to nothing, there is one listed right now for a buy now price of US$825.99:

Also, if this is working for the AJA Cion, then I wonder, the Blackmagic Production 4K Camera and the URSA 4K / URSA Mini 4K all share the same sensor as the AJA Cion, could the same process work for them too? They're even cheaper!

After years of testing (I own a Digital Bolex) the closest thing to it is the BMMCC (Micro Cinema Camera)
It has the least amount of rolling shutter (around 13ms) and the best IQ among the BMPCC, BMCC, and the BMPC 4K.
You need to pair it with a RAWLITE filter (possibly latest edition).
Something more convenient, but not that close, though slightly closer because of even less rolling shutter,
is the BMPCC 4K in S16 crop, with RAWLITE filter v2 installed (get a magenta shift which I personally like compared
to the greenish/brownish tint of BM camera which I hate). Sigma fp series get very reach colors, but rolling shutter
is a pain. So, to recap, BMMCC and BMPCC 4K in s16 mode come closer to the Bolex look.

Yeah, it's with 1.30x. Anything 1.24x and lower is definitely skipped in 12bit mode.
 
Sigma's fp lead Wakamatsu gave recommendations for crops: 
For the best Resolution, x1.3 – 2.48
For phase detection AF, x1.0 and x1.53
For best dynamic range, x1.24

The Kodak sensor also appears to have thicker filter dyes which results in rich color and excellent color separation. Later sensors may have been optimized for sensitivity, particularly cheaper sensors. If you look at images from the BM Pocket, they have more compressed color with hues mаshed together.

Maybe the AJA Cion? (or the Blackmagic equivalents) So long as you light it carefully. 
 

Maybe posting some example images might help?

This is the biggie from my point of view.
I have that MFT Meike cine lens and use the waaaaffffferrrr thin MFT>E mount adapter to use it on my A6500 because, as you say, the lens is really an APS-C lens anyway.
Giving it triple duty with this adapter would be fantastic.

First outside footage...  looks good to me!
 

I try to do this. 
But that is not how my brain works. 
I only see my mistakes immediately AFTER I have pressed the "submit" button! haha
 
Yeah, it's a pity. 
I feel that the timer should be longer. Say if it was an hour long. 
Then if you post, then someone else replies at some point in the future, and you then reply back after trying to edit it, welllll..... the hour probably has expired already? (for instance, your reply to me just now, over two hours has passed!) 
But if you're just taking your time to read through the thread, and you get other thoughts you want to add to your post as you read further into the thread, well it's unlikely you'll take longer than a whole hour to read to the end of the thread? 

Ah, sorry..  I missed the mention of it being on a gimbal, where obviously you lose the ability to touch the camera or lens.
Makes sense now, and yeah, having a wireless control of some kind where you don't need to buy new hardware would be optimal.
I have a vague recollection of someone on YT saying that the BM camera app is actually a camera control app where the first camera it controls is the internal iPhone camera, but that the roadmap will be that it adds control for BM cameras.  That would effectively give every BM camera a smartphone-sized touchscreen interface.  I think that was just speculation, but if true would definitely be a very nice user experience.
and SSD.
The AF on the P2K is better than nothing but only marginally, but it seems like the M4K has a much newer sensor so I'll be keen to see how much the AF is improved.  
If the AF is improved and the images are compelling, this will be the closest I'll have come to buying a new camera in quite some time.

Remote focus control doesn’t mean it needs to be auto focus.
They are not the same thing.
It is precisely because BM cameras don’t have continuous autofocus (well mine do actually) that a remote follow focus is required.
Claiming that people don’t use current BM cameras on gimbals because they don’t have continuous autofocus is a complete nonsense.
The box nature of this new one makes it even more applicable as it is easier to balance.

Among many other new goodies for sure, looks like sweet to have on set:

I really don't get the hype about phone cameras for cinema. No matter how you slice it, they are really expensive hard to use cameras for what they do. Like Kye broke down, the iPhone 15 can do an okay image at a basically fixed focal length and depth of field in bright light. Even with that, the image looks over sharp, and just weird in many cases. 
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about the latest phone camera tech for personal use. The ability to pull my phone out of my pocket and get great photos and videos of my kids whenever I want is really nice. For that purpose, the quality looks great. But when it comes to shooting anything more serious, I could think of half a dozen cameras that are way cheaper, and would land you with much better looking, easier to capture, and more reliable results than a phone camera would. 
With an iPhone, how do you do a heavy handheld look? What do you do when the battery dies? How about overheating? Lowlight? Shallow depth of field? ND filters? Timecode? Audio? The list goes on and on...
It's basically the wrong tool for the job. It's like the latest hatchback advertising how much lumber you can stuff in the trunk for your latest construction project. It's great if you need it every once and a while, but if you do construction seriously, any old cheap pickup truck from the 1980s will do a much much better/easier job. 

On the whole, I thought that was really lacklustre to be honest and I'd say that, quite appropriately, he phoned that one in.
Ironically, that made it quite informative set against the slew of shock faced "OMG I can't believe I shot this cinematic masterpiece on a phone" videos on YouTube where a lot of production work has gone clearly in to them as this shows what you get out of one shooting in a more casual can't be arsed sort of manner.
I can think of far cheaper cameras than the £1299 the base model costs in the UK with which to get similarly meh results with that approach. 
It hasn't stopped the vast majority of commenters on it saying not only is the emperor not naked but he is wearing the finest of hand woven garments though, so I'm guessing they're seeing something different to me.
Filters seem to be this year's LUT packs don't they and this felt more about them than the camera.
 
 

i want to bypass af100's internal avchd 24mbps weak codec. i already have inferno, ki mini, nano flash, i want to try uncompressed to see how much it can improve the grading. 

Distinct applications among them film production, VFX, film transfer.

Ohhhh... what made you go for the URSA Mini 12K? What will you be using it on? 
 

But if I would have only to buy one and carry with me? DJI Mini 4 Pro because flies too! LOL : )
On the ground to have with me all around? Osmo Pocket 3 or the new Ace Pro has also impressed me. Its 8K 24p looks like a winner there.
A camera unfortunately or not is the one we can use.
Going to a set? Ursa Mini Pro 12K, for some reason I've just purchased it :- )

I don't care about S5II/X on my own behalf as I am not intending to trade it in for any of my stuff I am going to have to sell. I got too much unused equilment, so a complimentary camera instead for my S1H will be cool. At the moment that would still be my S1, which I would sell. A G9 would offer additional features to find out about, especially Dual Gain, Pdaf and punsh-in preview during recording. Wanna test that Towerjazz magic and new colour!:) I have seen lowlight comparisons with the GH5s where it holds onto resolution and colours better than the latter. I just wouldn't buy into mambojambo affected textures. How could they mess up on that. Flagship cameras, at least from Panasonic, should not have unnecessary image nasties like that. If a GH5 (ll) and G9 do better in that regard it is a step back, which is unnatural by the logic of a succeeding model of the product line.
So, Panasonic, do your GH6 and G9II a favour and make them the much better cameras they potentially akready are. Turn off the mambojambo.

Ahah, no, of course it is on the original files, I never pixel peep on converted files.
I don't like the digital look at all like on smartphone (when everything is oversharpened), but I don't like digital processing making the image soft or sharp artificialy either. I sometime need to keep all the fine details for my videos, I don't want they have digital sharpening, I just want the same details as a raw photo without any digital processing. If I really need a soft image looking, I think the 1080P of my GH5 with a bit of un-sharpen is perfect, no need for a 4K or 6K camera.
If I un-sharpen a video file looking like a raw photo, as on the GH5, the result is good, because every details are there. But when I un-sharpen a file like on the GH6, it just doesn't look as good in my opinion, especially in low light, it looks more like if the image is upscaled.

My S5II also has bad processing going on internaly compared to previous S cameras, bad edge sharpening even in V-log, making the fine details less thin, and also chroma noise reduction more or less significant depending on the profile used. Of course, most of the time and depending on your screen, you need to crop in order to see the difference.
Digital processing like the Intelligent Detail Filter on the GH6 can certainly helps with moiré, but nothing come close to a OLPF like on the S1H for the nicest image quality. I even prefer to use my GH5 in low light compared to the GH6 below 1600 ISO, sure the GH6 is cleaner, but something just looks off about fine details rendering. Of course, downscaling the file to 1080P or viewing it on small screen doesn't make a big difference between both cameras. Again, it's really when cropping we can see that the details rendering is not the same.
But it is not so simple, because the colors of the GH6 are really really nice, I just love their new 25MP M43 sensor, it has natural and rich tones in video (and photos of course), nicer than on my S5II IMHO. Last time I loved the colors of a camera as much was with the Samsung NX1.
My G9II has more or less the same colors than the GH6, but on the cooler side, and more magenta overall. Nothing that can't be fixed in post though.

Interesting about the sensors (perhaps?) not being Sony - it makes sense though if they developed the dual-gain architecture as a custom design, which I am assuming they did.
It also then follows that the colour science would be slightly different too.  I suppose they could have made it identical if they'd wanted, but I think if you were designing such a thing you'd constantly be tinkering with it, trying to improve, adapting to more recent tastes etc.
The fact that the G9ii is as good as the GH6 in many ways could be a promising sign for what a potential GH7 could bring.  I think the difficulties with the GH6 were unfortunate, as was that it was overshadowed by the PDAF implementations of the next releases.  I think that Panasonic were being bold and trying to really push forward in doing a dual-gain architecture sensor, but unfortunately it just didn't quite make the kind of difference that you'd hope from such a bold move.  I guess Panasonic might take the "lesson" to just go back to incrementalism and play it safe etc, but I really hope they don't do that, but instead view it as a good-but-not-great project and keep being bold and trying things.
If the GH6 and G9ii sensors are from TowerJazz (or any other non-Sony provider) then it might be a sign they're going out on their own and will continue to iterate on the design and improve it over time.  That would be a great outcome I think.

You can get the Sigma 40mm f1.4 ART in L mount but in terms of it being a pancake…
well it is if you like your pancakes in this sort of quantity.

I have been spending too much money on equipment in recent years, and WAY too much time researching it. I really don't need anything else in terms of kit. What I do need is to replace my wardrobe and make some repairs to my home and my vehicle. Also, I'd like to spend more time producing passion projects.

So, I'm making a commitment that I will not buy any new gear between November 30th, 2023 and November 29th, 2024 (got to give myself the option to take advantage of Black Friday deals). If I need a specialty piece of gear, I will rent it.

The exceptions are expendables and direct replacements, should anything I'm using break down.

I've never done this before and I'm posting this to help keep myself accountable.

Here's my take on it.
I love it, great camera... But...
a1 is cheaper used, and does 8K at 500Mbit/s 422
The global shutter is capable of 6K at 120fps, but Sony didn't implement any 6K modes, no open gate, or anamorphic, and no Cinema 24p in the image processor. I have heard the image processor is not capable of oversampling at 120fps from 6K-> 4K so the 4K/120fps is likely pixel binned from the 6K. I believe the 4K/59.94/29.97/23.98 are oversampled from that full 6K output.
I like the new grip, looks more comfortable and is to be honest more stylish as well.
Can't really see a use for 120fps stills shooting, it's not a scientific camera.... although it could be used as one!!
