@IronFilm @Orangenz The announcement starts 10 am in Las Vegas, that's 11 hours away. Until then, keep calm and wish that they didn't take away the IBIS

Ain't want to wait 22 hours no more dude

In 22 hours and 32 minutes, Panasonic will spill the beans

And the approach to the whole "being a filmmaker" has changed since the GH2, not for all but for a lot of people. It feels like the majority of people who bought the GH2 with video in mind spent more time learning about the image and the tools to grade it than the majority of GH5 buyers do today. As a result Youtube is filled with GH5 stuff that looks meh.
Lets say you're 14 year old. You want to become a star like them other big Youtubers. But your concentration span is about as long as it takes for a Tesla to reach 60mph. What would you rather watch? "Learn the basics of cinematography - 10 parts, 1 hour each" or "INSTANT FILM LOOK IN 1 MINUTE, AMAZING RESULTS, EASY PEASY, JUST BUY THESE LUTS"
Nothing wrong in using LUTs, or auto features of a camera. But things have changed, just saying.

Get the GX80/85, really good bang for buck!
Bought my 2nd used GX80 for $274,61 (Converted from SEK). There's one for sale right now, in Sweden, for $417 which includes 12-32 + 35-100 + a wooden grip.

Random clips shot with GH5 and Olympus 25/1.2 in standard profile.

I've had my GH5 for about 3 months now and I'm loving the files i get from it, both standard profile and V-LOG L. When it's not working all rigged up (see picture at the bottom) it always stays in my messenger bag with just one lens, the Oly 25/1.2 which has become my all time favorite lens. Anyhooow, here's some random (as usual) shorts from every day life.

All rigged up. This setup has proven itself to be a very convenient run&gun solution!

I got the 8Sinn with basic top handle, been working great for my run and gun needs.

"The only thing you have to turn on is the "High Quality Playback" setting. Once that is on you can select different playback resolutions like 1/8 and it will reduce the quality and it won't zoom in."
Found this in a Facebook group but haven't tried it yet.

Shot this last weekend. Mostly in to 150 fps. Some shots were overexposed, but you get the idea, it was very sunny and hot.
Used a DEC lens regain, Sigma 18-35 and Canon 85mm, shot mostly handheld with stabiliser on. Two shots are twixtored. 
Straight from the camera the Rec709 is awesome, period. I added an osiris lut to pop some colors.

Whatever you did... it worked. 

Thank you. I may have shot it a bit warm due to very strong summer feelings that evening, but most is done in post

Mitakon 25/0.95 - Fast, small, cheap. Works great on the GH5 if you don't mind it's all manual.

People had way to high expectations about this camera, not only because the hype Panasonic started but because of rumor sites and potential buyers upping the hype.
10bit 422 is great but it's not some magical feature that will make everything you shoot look like Alexa footage. Messing up on 10 bit will hurt almost as much as messing up on 8 bit. Future 400 Mbps update not considered. 
Judging the camera for what it is, my first impressions are great. Im sure it's going to be a real workhorse just like the GH4 is. 
 
Edit. Forgot to mention something about the autofocus. Personally I don't use it but sure, it would have been nice to have. If you need world class leading autofocus during video recording then look elsewhere. Panasonic might fix it with firmware, or not.
