The first actually useful GH5 review I've read comes from Amadeusz at the excellent Polish website VideoDSLR.pl (Google Translated here)
He look at all aspects of the new camera in detail, including the quality of the promising 180fps slow-mo mode.

The perfect camera for jail-ees?

We are way off topic here guys comon!
on another note i dont care what C5D said or wrote about PreProduction Gh5 am still getting it 
rant over!

Thanks  Jon
The plan is to upgrade from 80D to GH5!!! 
Things am looking forward is 
vector scope 
focus peaking
slowmotion 180fps 
4k 
log 
now the downside ?
Am gona miss PDAF 
cant say much about rest

Am happy with 18-35 & 50-100 
love sharpness it gives and colour

I really hope the panna guys at firmware unit fix this

It's still pre-release firmware, I think we should save the condemnations for the final release version.

Hi, id go rent A6500 for couple days test it out see if it suits your needs etc and then wait for Gh5 and compare them both insteed of asking us its you whos gona use it at the end 

GH5 hands down.
neuman raw footage proved good color can easily be get from GH5. GH5 has millions of advantage over 1DC which is a old piece of tech. 
Put a 42.5mm 1.2 Leica on the GH and tell me about mojo 

Tried this on my Canon 60D w/ Sigma 18-35, and I didn't check for focus. Sorry please forgive my rookie mistake. Shot internally and it held up quite better than I imagined. Remember using CineStyle when it first came out and never got the look I wanted consistently.

This would become (FF equivalence) a 34-100mm f2,8 with the speed (but not the DoF-characteristic) of an f2.0 (one stop brighter). You will know better how good the focus ring is. Metabones list of tested and officially supported lenses for working AF with the Ultra:
However, I suspect "working" means, it will focus if you are patiently aiming the camera at your motif for stills. Don't think that it's usable for video.
Your lens seems to be top-notch. Probably a very good (parfocal?) glass for the GH5 with a very desirable focal range and very fast too. 700 bucks for the SB - if you don't like it, send the Speedbooster back and sell the Canon, that's what I'd do if I were you. The XL (~same price) - if it fits on the GH5! - would make it a 31-88 with the speed of an f1.8 - everything one needs, and IBIS would work with it.

I'd go with framing, camera motion, lighting and color grade. With theses techniques cinematic looks can be achieved with a smartphone... https://***URL not allowed***/shooting-cinematic-iphone-footage-filmic-pro/

I'd be really interested to see the result of this combo.

Honestly, the GH5 seems to bring much to the table. Of particular interest is the 6k anamorphic mode. Still, I am skeptical of the low light performance given the smaller sensor size. 
Additionally, the 4k 60p mode may be less useful due to lack of 10 bit and the many comments about needing to capture color in camera if not recording in 10 bit. The IBIS is clearly a good thing. The flip out lcd view screen is another plus. It's a very interesting camera. I guess a large part of it come down to what you plan on shooting. Will you spring for the anamorphic lenses? If so it becomes a more appealing preposition. If not... and assuming you have the budget, then the Canon with it's DPAF will likely be better long-term. I personally feel more comfortable investing in Canon glass than in M43. I am kicking around the idea of picking a GH5 up. For me the compelling feature in the thought of finally being able to have some nice anamorphic shoots. But will these shot be in 10 bit? I seem to recall some saying that mode may be 8 bit? I will wait to see more footage before making any commitments. 
I think if money is an issue, then the GH5 seems to be the best choice. It is rich in video features. The image so far looks quite good. And it offers good versatility. The Canon is the clear choice of any action type shooting. The DPAF makes it easy to get focus under challenging conditions, and that can make for faster takes when recording video. In the end you might want to give both a try and then see which suits your needs best.

Comparing NX1, A7R2 and 1DXMkII... 
I rank them as follows: 
Canon... Sony... Samsung.
They are all great camera, but I prefer low light on the Canon. The noise is more organic. The Sony rules for resolution. The Samsung had the best UI. 
Video performance: the Sony always felt a bit videoish to me. Regardless what processing I would do. The image was also more fragile than the Canon in post. The NX1 seemed to lack DR. The Canon files are the most flexible. 
I would have loved to see a NX1MkII... I think a lot of potential was there. The 16-50s lens was wonderful. I loved my Sony, but the Canon is in another league. I can not recall a time where I looked at an image coming out of my 1DXMkII and thought it didn't look great. By right any one of these cameras are good enough for the work most people will do. If you have the means the Canon is an attractive choice. The A7R3 will likely be out soon, so if Sony is your poison... you might want to wait. The Samsung only makes sense if you can find a really good deal. 
I don't see myself parting with my Canon any time soon... It's an epic camera. 
 
 

Looks great! I think it's so funny how far cameras have come in 5 years, yet the complaints compound even more. "Yeah it's HD 180 frames per second in a handheld camera with a 5 axis stabilizer, but....."

Or daylight. The right lens is half the battle. Owned three original MFT lenses with GH2. Two of them (Pana, Oly) were directly responsible for a 'videoish' look. The third, the Nokton 25mm, was beautiful for HD, but maybe not sharp enough for UHD. The Sigma would be my first thought.
Because I have a gimbal, I'd need a good lightweight AF lens as well. This might turn out be a hard choice. I didn't follow discussions on MFT lenses for a long time. Need someone to bring me up to date.

Cant wait to see what ultra sb combine 18-35 1.8 in lowlight 

Amazing work mate i love transition effects 

This is great news exactly what i wanted from updates tho curius about Vlog update has it been tweaked can we use luts with it for preview?

I completely disagree and I am sure many others with me.
 

I don't think that is right! Chromatic aberration is Purple fringing, nothing to do with focus. And it is no worse than 90% of the zooms out there for it.
Now you might not get leaves in focus because of the narrow DoF, but you have to re learn how to shoot with a lens with that fast of a Aperture. Try using it with a speed booster even harder to do. That lens is one of the best lens you can buy for any money.  Center point only really. You must have the worst copy ever make, and I doubt that is true with it.
You are the only one I have heard say bad things about it. Is it perfect no, is any lens tons better no. But I don't do much photo work, and I doubt many do on here either with that lens. If that was the case not one frame in Video would be in focus. No nasty thread on here about that problem with that lens that I know of.
Now the 50-100 1.8 is not as good of a lens a the 18-35mm. No way you going to make a lens with that big of zoom work at F1.8. You stated it wrong in you reply. It is NOT 150mm.
