Have a read of https://www.dpreview.com/articles/0518873678/hasselblad-lunar-an-act-of-lunacy It looks like it's a (rare, only 100 made) Hasselblad Lusso, based on the Sony A7R.

Good point 🙂(it did go lower than £1299 recently from a some sellers - see the red line below). From https://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/Panasonic/Panasonic-Lumix-S-Cameras/Panasonic-Lumix-S5D-Camera-with-28-200mm-Macro-Lens ...and for the S9 + 18-40 kit over the same period - https://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/Panasonic/Panasonic-Lumix-S-Cameras/Panasonic-Lumix-S9-Camera-with-18-40mm-Lens:

It's similar in the UK (£1299). Personally I think Panasonic should offer the S9 + 28-200 as a reasonably compact FF travel cam kit (e.g. like Sony have the APS-C A6700 + 18-135mm kit).

It's been on my wish list for a while... (I already own the 18-40 and 20-60, and I'm more likely to buy the more-compact APS-C Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 than the Pana 24-60).

Re. S9 lens options (and being a 'zoom' rather than 'prime' person), now the 24-60 F2.8 is out, the obvious hole in Panasonic's full-frame small/light zoom range is a longer focal length companion to the 18-40 collapsible zoom e.g. a compact 35-90. (Like the 12-32 plus 35-100 pair they introduced to go with the smaller M43 cameras years ago). The current 'reasonably compact' FF zoom range mounted on the S9 (from the left, 18-40, 20-60, 28-200 and 24-60):

Arri?

I don't have a definitive answer, so this is an 'engineering opinion': For UHD (3840 x 2160) the G7 crops a slightly larger area out of the centre of the sensor, around 4100 pixels horizontally. Someone on Reddit estimated it to be 4130 x 2323 - see https://www.reddit.com/r/PanasonicG7/comments/3zfu0f/comment/cym5c9j/ - which is very close to 4096 x 2320 (and both dimensions of that are divisible by 16). If you take 4096 x 2320 and multiply each dimension by 15/16 you get 3840 x 2175, and I suspect because of the low scaling ratio it's most likely using 'nearest neighbour' re-sampling (line-skipping in camera speak) to generate UHD from it. So my educated guess is that its reading out a 4096 x 2320 region of the sensor, de-bayering it and then using line-skipping to down-sample it to 3840 x 2160.

£2700 in the UK versus £2150 (£2000 with current cashback promotion) for A7 IV

I assume it was released too early, before the official announcement in a few minutes time...

Yes, and there's also a limit of 13 segments (only 5 in some of the older cameras). The segment size limit is nominally 4 GB, but because it uses variable bitrate (VBR) encoding the camera seems to assume the maximum bitrate when deciding how to split the files - hence they usually come out smaller than 4 GB.

Jordan's take on it:

Panasonic is obviously trying to appeal to the more retro/classic/stylish area of the market, like it has in the past with silver/grey and black versions of some M43 cameras. Certainly looks more stylish than the plain black version (my S9 is a black and red version, which is more at the 'fun' end of the market).

I don't know the 'industry definition' of it, but I would think a 'locked down' or 'locked off' shot is just that - the camera can't/doesn't move at all. If you pan a camera, it's a 'panning' shot (tilting is just panning it vertically instead of horizontally, so I guess comes under the same name).

AFAIK, up to at least 60p, the GH5/GH5ii/GH5s/G9/GH6/GH7/G9ii read out the whole sensor width and sufficient height to allow high-quality re-sampling/processing down to (e.g.) FHD and UHD, which probably helps with moire suppression. And yes, the high pixel density versus lens resolution also helps (plus diffraction softening at smaller apertures). I like reasonably chunky grips too - it's a major reason why I've never bought an E-M5 iii or OM-5 (and bought used E-M1 ii and iii instead, despite the larger size and weight). I've got a Sirui grip for the S9 (which is deeper than the SmallRig version), but if I've got the 20-60mm kit lens on it I don't add the grip as there's enough lens barrel to sit nicely in my left hand. The grip is useful with the 18-40mm lens though.
