I made a test comparing iso 400 - 6400 on skin tones if anyone is interested:
It looks pretty good up to 1600 and I think, but it's still usable in from 3200 all the way to 6400 in some situations. Might need some noise reduction though...

The criticism part was sarcasm. I thought he was being a bit harsh and not so much constructive in his criticism. Anyways, will there be a video you can post here when it's finished?

Get your hat ready Jax!

New info
I am told they are indeed using a multi-aspect sensor.
It measures 18.9mm x 13mm in approx. 3:2 aspect ratio
20MP stills but the total resolution of the chip is 24MP
24MP 3:2 is approximately 6000 x 4000 (just like the Sony A6300 in 3:2 stills mode).
Then the 6K photo mode is 3:2 with full sensor readout up to 30fps burst.
The normal stills mode is a 20MP 4:3 crop of the sensor. This is why 43rumours say 20MP sensor.
The 4K video is a 16:9 crop of the sensor using the full 6K width but downsampling on the chip.
Absolutely take this is a rumour until confirmed.
But it makes total sense to me... There is *no other way* of getting 6K photos from a 20MP 4:3 sensor like that featured on the GX8.

Panasonic Lumix GX80.

Here are 2 videos I shot earlier this summer:
The intro and performance were shot with the 4.6K on this one:
I have 2 other videos done that I can't post yet but here are a couple of frame grabs:
 
 
 

That's the mic they use on Naked and Afraid and I haven't noticed any wires or transmitters. 

GH4 looks pretty good in these shot. I think your angle sells it. Funny you mentioned the diffusers.... right after reviewing the raw footage we had the same thought. Below is a frame grab from the second episode that I am currently editing. The lighting is completely different as is the setting. I might move the subject a little closer to the wall next time around to get some back-lighting, or use a reflector to bounce some light from behind. I think the softer light is more complementary. 
And don't worry about not being an expert.... I'm here to learn also, and I value all constructive input.
 

Hello everyone! Few days ago I finished editing my last short timelapse video. I put a ton of work into this (shot last year, edited in 9 months, just because I couldn't focus on in completely). Edited in ACR and Premiere Pro. Opening title in AE.
Please read the video's description for camera info. Almost every shot is done in silent/electronic shutter mode, works like a charm for timelapses. I have some complaints about camera, I'll post it if anyone will be interested, but other than that, it is a great little tool!
 

Here's a list of great things about the 5D Mark IV...

Think it's getting time to make some suggestions...
I'll start. So, Andrew, how does ShootingDCI.com sound to ya?
If you catch my drift.

How do they spend money against you?!?!

I am just a guy with an independent voice in the world of camera reviews without hundreds of cozy ties to people from the manufacturers, without ads splattered all over the screen, without sponsors on my every video, yet still I find EOSHD mired in a world of cut throat rivalry. Only very occasionally like in the beginning with DPReview have I been given a leg up in this industry and even then it only takes one person like Barney to massacre that relationship too. The other blogs like NoFilmSchool, Cinema5D and NewsShooter spend 10's maybe even 100's of thousands of dollars trying to punt my homebrew EOSHD site into oblivion and I just find the whole thing utterly distasteful. Rather than offering a new talent an opportunity they instead I am treated like just another commercial rival to be beaten.
In the end it is up to you guys to choose. The managed platform of platitudes and advertorial, or the honest opinions and educational books of an artist/filmmaker.
May the best guy win.

Pretty childish of them if you ask me.

Unfortunately I fell out with their 2 main guys, over disagreements with the direction their editorial was taking. I guess this is the result but it's still a nasty thing to do to their own forum users. I don't care so much about myself. But why punish their own readers and limit their knowledge of external resources?
It is a shame as I have met some of the DPR team in person and count them as friends - Lars and Richard in particular. Lars used to live in Berlin!
There's a bit more to the story as well... I began to be frustrated at every turn at how hard it was to get my articles past their main editor Barney and something else happened, something deeply disturbing, that I will not go into detail about.

Sign me up for the Gh5 even if  IBIS is all they bring to the table.
 
Right now with my current gear  - Gh4 and Olympus 7-14, Panasonic 12-35 and 35 - 100 - and the venerable Voigtlander 25  - Sliders, steadicams, panasonic's AMAZING native codec (it really is under rated) and the turbo editing speed of FCPX ..
 
-I reckon i could be QUICKLY creating great content for the next 5 years without any need of an update. 
 
Its nice to have too many stories to tell, a ton of forward bookings from clients and no new gear acquisition syndrome! 

That landscape picture is lovely. 
Does it really matter there's no colours in the shadows on the left? My eye is looking at the sun, the smoke haze and reflections on the water. 
 

4k crop mode aimed at the sky.

I just wanted to share a fun passion project I just finished for an artist named "Fleurie". We shot all this in my living room and I did all the VFX in Apple Motion 5. Shot 4k with a7SII but delivered HD (my computer wouldn't handle 4k 3d graphics well). Just thought I'd share! Let me know if you have any questions about it. I had fun making it
 

So, I had my first go with the GX85... awesome little camera... well worth what I paid for it.
I have to adjust Saturation a little. On my monitor, the levels look fine, but when I watch it on one of my TVs, it is definitely over-saturated. I am going to try lowering my in camera saturation a tick or two. For this video, the in camera settings were... Contrast -5, Sharpness -5, Noise Reduction -5, Saturation -2. I'm going to try -3 and -5 next. I used FilmConvert for correction/grading. And the music is by Kevin McLeod.

Yeah, I bought one last week. Every time I opened my gear closet, a lens stared at me with sad eyes. 
But in reality I picked up a great deal for a new body, Panasonic travel battery kit, plus an instant rebate... So I couldn't pass on it. Eventually I wanted to get an interchangeable lens camera anyway, so this saved me some money because I probably would have bought a used C100.
Yeah, I agree, I think the GX85 is a lot cleaner in the shadows than the G7. ISO 800, SEEMS, to be completely noise free at 1-2 stops under. Of course I have been exposing differently since I picked up the XC10. With the G7, I used 100% zebras to expose to the left, with the XC10 I learned quickly that you need to underexpose... Or expose to the center for best results. So with the GX85, I have my zebras set at 100 to catch any glaring issue, but am really just watching the meter and trying to keep it under by about a stop. I've also found the camera plays well at 4400 Kelvin in mixed light. I've yet to test the A3/G3 theory, but I haven't done any skin tone tests yet... Probably today. 
I've been using it with only vintage lenses... Minoltas, Canon FL and a few c-mount lenses. They render beautifully and they are so sharp. Aliasing is a problem in 4K but it seems to go away once downscaled to 1080. 
The IBIS is fantastic... Not as good as the XC10, but not too far off either. With my 12.5mm c-mount, I get full coverage, but if I pan too quickly, the  image falls off the sensor's cliff into the dark abyss. 
All in all, it's a fun little cam... Wish the grip had a touch more meat to it. 

Sorry, I meant color correct. I find it easier to correct the white balance on the GX85, especially in mixed lighting. Don't know why but it just seems easier to get it right. It also holds up a lot better in the shadows and mids. 
Another thing which isn't exactly grading is that if I shoot a scene slightly underexposed to protect the highlights at iso 200 I can easily correct exposure in post without getting any noise in the image. On my GH4 I would often get a little noise if I missed exposure or WB. 
With that being said I would never have sold my GH4 if the GH5 wasn't on the way. As many has stated before me it's a great production cam. In fact the only thing I disliked about my GH4 was the low light performance. 

Here's a rolling shutter test: 
 
As you can see it's a lot better in 1080. 
@mercer did you buy a GX85? I haven't tried the G7 but I just sold my GH4 learned how out much easier it is to grade footage from the GX85. Will get a GH5 when it comes out and can live a few months with the limitations of the GX85.
