I didn't see anyone post this:
 

If Trump had his way he'd be making a profit on that $1 billion he offered the Germans
Sharing out the vaccine around his rich pals
Mercer you'd be fucking dead.
And yet you're his cheerleader. Quite amazing.

It's not like Trump has ever encouraged yelling or denigrating members of other parties or religions is it.

Were you looking in a mirror when you wrote this?
Supporting Trump is being a cult member.
If he were not president, would you allow Donald Trump to represent you in your personal or professional life? Would you trust him with your money, reputation or business? Would you do business with him? Would he pay you for any service or project you did for him?   Would you trust him to have your back in a fight?  
Or would you rather go out grabbing women by the pussy with him? Maybe you would like to dodge the draft with him? Or possibly denigrate war heroes with him? Or claim to be a Christian like he does? Is 2 Corinthians your favorite Bible verse? How many children by three wives do you have? How many people have you stiffed paying? 
There needs to be a Nuremburg style trial for him and all his cronies when this is all finished. Too bad the people that voted won’t be put on trial.
 
 

@Mercer,
I love that you consider yourself a moderate Republican / Libertarian. I know several people that would describe themselves as such. Each of them will explain that Trump is: :an egomaniac”, “a bully”, “a jerk” and “he gets things done.” These same people are in capable of realizing that they themselves are complete self-centered assholes who lack empathy or taste.
I give you Exhibit A: “Or they have 82,000 less mouths to feed... I'm just kidding.“

How about "Bunk 'iz Evil" 

Cool! Kinda surprised that so many people were clamoring for this, yet after 13 hours, only 3 people have said anything... Where's the enthusiasm, people?
 
Thanks for the samples Ricardo and Marco. Can't wait to see more!

Tiago Rosa-Rosso,
I did not mean to suggest you were in error / mistaken. It wouldn't surprise me if Panasonic had published / was quoting incorrect specs. 10 bit would be very cool.

Uh... I just chatted with Panasonic sales. Jessica, told me that the GX85 output 10 bit 4:4:4 from the HDMI !!!!!! That can't be. See what I meant by getting the RIGHT information

The buttons are really the 'pressing' issue. 

Minor update, still doing what Im doing, still digging and documenting what changes Im finding in the firmware, have started to explore with telnet and the camera. Its looking good. Have a few ideas on how it utilizes firmware updates but nothing solid yet. But I like how both stages are progressing. Although i wish I had more to show haha but dumping c isnt going to have a point! I should have a major update in a few days though!

Good news, bad news.

Good news is that I have learned a lot about the srp( samsung reconfigureable processor) architecture. Bad news. It is very very very very complicated. Machine compiled c into binary. Unknown yet when it is loaded into the firmware and if the .cpp files that are listed are infact that, or just other hard ware controls

So the srp is like an fpga in the way you can change what it does on the fly. It differs in the way that it uses VLIW instead of bits to do its magic.
Reverse engineering the binary into something workable.. is possible, but time will tell if and how much can be changed. The plus side of a simple isp changing values in softwear can do something like what the gh2 hack did. The downside being you are stuck with the hardware.
The plus side of the srp implementation.. Building a custom algorithm to..exchange the hevc codec with something else.. Could be possible. Unknown yet if the nr is a part of this or just a software implementation.

Also if the rumors were true about the ml guys approaching samsung, this would be why it didnt happen. They dont release the srp compiler. One instance of them giving access to it at the SAIT school in Korea is all I could find. very very proprietary.

But the dream for me of having a cheap 14bit 6.5k red competitor is what keeps me going. The confirmation of the UHS-II bus sweetens the deal. Going to investigate the possibility of a SD-SATA converter.. I wouldnt mind having a 1tb ssd attached to the back of the camera.


TL:DR This camera is complex and things are not getting easier but still progression is being made.

I bought it. Thanks Matt!
