i really haven’t found a good overview of zoom vs pro based on 24/28 vs 48/42mm ungreaded/ graded.. and Photo 12mp vs 20mp vs 48mp stich and so on...

Wow. Sigma was what I hopped for. Not so much for their art lenses but for the 300mm+ stuff as this isn’t something that Leica is into.
Prices for used SL just increased.. damn!

Aren’t the Leica Cine SL Mount as Well??

FT5..... SL Mount für die FF Panasonic.....
hmmm... das könnte sehr interessant werden. Die SL ist für mich der Beste Body!!

Well here we go...
personally i don’t think it’s the Leica L mount but there could be an adapter for Panasonic. The flange distance from the Leica is larger than usual.
however the mount question is an interesting one anyway..... lots to speculate... I think they will just have two lenses to start with. One Prime and a 24-70 f2.8

To sum up this what we know so far (FT5):
Panasonic will announce a new Full Frame Mirrorless system camera on September 25
Panasonic will only show a prototype with non finalized specs
The new camera will go on market by March 2019
Panasonic has designed this new sensor
The camera will have way more than 30 Megapixels
The camera has excellent video quality
These are the unconfirmed rumors (FT2….may be right or may be wrong):
The camera will take current MFT lenses via adapter
Costs around $3,000
Has no on sensor stabilization
2 slot card
4K with no crop in FF and 10 bit 4:2:2
weather sealed

I can imagine that if there is possibility for RAW it would be very likely a paid update like the Log Firmware, just way pricier.
B

It depends. If you rig then IBIS isn’t such a big deal. But if you’re alone and especially traveling etc. it’s a big advantage ......
B

Well, I think the thing with IBIS is overheating / the heatsink. Just look at the GH5 with the tiny m4/3 Sensor and the required body thickness. Compared to the G9.
if that and we would expect it to be a GH5 spec FF I would imagine we are talking Nikon D5 mirrorless style body.

For me this is the Highlight of NAB together with the FCPX upgrade.
yes,the new BM seems to be a steal,but it’s only targeting the GH5s crowd, not the GH5 users like me who are after Hybrids and run and gun.
Anyway. The new Ninja V is really something and probably a big hint that RAW is coming, most likely with the A7S MKIII. And hopefully Panasonic follows suit.
and then the upcoming Ronin S ... oh yes ?

Hmm.... how did the BBC change something with Sony’s color????

Hey peeps have anyone tried 12mm 1.4 Sumilux on GH5? I know there is tons of videos on youtube i just wanna get some opinions from fellow EOSHD?
I hav but only for stills ( not much time for videos lately). It's a great lens. About the same as the 42.5. Size and weight a perfect match for the GH5. I really love the Aperture ring. The price is okish, like the 42.5 still on the high side.
One of my m4/3 recommended lenses.

To me, it makes a lot of sense to use m43 for the tele end especially because of the 2x crop. To get similar focal lengths on FF would require HUGE lenses. And conversely, adapted wide lenses seem better suited to FF sensors (again because of the crop factor).
Of course, you can shoot with wide native lenses on m43 though. There are just less options.Zooms vs primes are a preference. But IMO, m43 has some advantages with zooms because of the much smaller lenses. Of course, I would still use primes on a m43 system. But I find that I am more reluctant to use zooms on the sony FF.
Exactly my point. The size advantage comes withe zooms and especially the long end. Love the D5 with an 600mm F4. Amazing IQ and System but the size and weight well...
Therefore I'm in the camp: m4/3(4/3) for zooms and long stuff and 35mm for Primes and DOF.

Why is m43 all about zooms and the long tele end? For one thing, none of them are fast. And why was the 12-60 a 'no brainer'? There is no debating that fast primes are not only small and lightweight, but also optically superior to the zoom lenses.
Edit: The prime lenses you mention are some of the very best in the micro four thirds system, but I wouldn't discount the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN either. Do you own any of these lenses?
I'm a long time 4/3 User since the E1. I know all the 4/3 TopPro and Pro lenses and also used them incl the brilliant 150 f2, 90-250 f2.8 and 300mm 2.8 ( and they render better then anything on m4/3). The most used lens was always the 12-60 Zuiko Pro. Used also the brilliant 14-35 F2 TopPro Zuiko. Still optically the best 4/3 m4/3 Standard Zoom.
At one time a was even under NDA with Olympus....
Now for m4/3 I have personally only a few lenses, namely
Panaleica 12-60 f2.8-4
Panasonic 14-140 3.5-5.6 (for sale)
Olympus 12-40 f2.8 ( for sale)
Olympus 300mm f4
I have access to most m4/3 lenses. So used the 40-150 f2.8, 7-14 f2.8, 12mm 1.4, 25mm 1.2, 42.5 1.2 & 75 1.8 etc..
Am I interested in any other lens to own?
Well there are a few that may end up in my bag...
8-19 Panaleica
12mm Panaleica
42.5 Panaleica
Will I keep the 300m f4? For now yes, but it depends what long lenses are to come based on the rumors. Would love to get the amzing TopPro rendering back. Do I care about the weight? Nope.

Ideally for both stills and video, but with the emphasis on video. I also shoot with the A7RII so that is my main stills camera, but I only have primes for it. So for a general walkaround lens and telephoto, I plan to use the m43 kit. I feel that is what the m43 system is ideal for (in terms of stills).
For video, I decided to get the GH5 even though the A7Rii has very good quality, because of a few reasons. Mainly, the articulating screen, slow mo, stabilization, and usability (I find the user interface etc much easier and enjoyable to use on the Panasonic and Olympus cams).
I plan to still use the Sony for low light, shallow DOF, and gimbal work. For everything else, the GH5. Hopefully I can match the footage fairly easily in post.
But I will have to see what ends up happening in reality. It would be much easier to just stick with one system, but there's a lot of things I really miss about the m43 system when I use only the Sony. And I can't give up the stills and low light IQ of the FF Sony now... So I am stuck carrying two systems for now.
If Sony adds an articulating screen and better stabilization in the future.. I will re-evaluate.Same here. I have a Leica M as my main camera.
So m4/3 for me is and always was about zooms and the long Tele end.
Therefore the 12-60 was a nobrainer for me. Same for the 300mm.
might think about the Panaleica 8-19 and a Prime for Video

PL12-60. Was the 25mm 1.4 prior to getting it. Depends on what your work is. Rokinon 7.5 fisheye is great but can be used with the 4k crop mode for less warping. Prolly go the coming PLwide angle eventually. Love the PL100-400. The Oly300 is too restrictive and sadly too heavy to be carried around by anything less than 2 Kenworth trucks and a strongman
The 300mm heavyweight... well I don't give a damn. Easily walkable for long walks (15-20km). Have it dangling over the shoulder most of the time.
Just image you carry a 600mm full frame one and the weight is not an issue anymore

Are those lenses you're looking for for stills and video or Video only?
The 12-60 is an amazing lens. Yes you loose on f stop, but you gain on focus speed and versatility.
A perfect daytime travel lens.
If you need f stop I think you will not be happy with f2.8 as this is not enough in reality.... especially during the blue hour and later.
My favorite m4/3 lenses.
Panaleica 12-60 f2.8.4
Panaleica 8-19 f2.8-4 ( not available yet but on paper it's superb)
Panaleica 50-200 f2.8-4 ( not available yet but I loved the original Olympus 4/3 one)
Panaleica 12 f1.4
Panaleica 42.5 f1.2
Olympus 25 1.2
Olympus 75 f1.8
Olympus 300 f4 (amazing wide open!)
Sadly the Panaleica 100-400 is to soft at the important long end.
I would love to see a m4/3 of the 4/3 150mm F2 (on of my favorite lenses of all time. Just brilliant). And if possible please do something like a 200-400mm f4. Don't care for weight and size, but please do Panasonic / Olympus!

I would think yes the 6k photo mode might be one of the main reasons I would get one myself. I do like to do birding photos and video of them. And yes I also see a big improvement in the image quality and the colors from peoples videos. Nice.
But not sure if the Olympus EM1 mkII might even be better for birding?? I had a EMI, that was a heck of a camera. But I would hate to give up the Video capabilities of the GH5. So probably would not buy a EM1 mkII.
The EM1 MKII is better for sure, but the GH5 narrowed that gap by a large chunk so that from an overall perspective you're better off with the GH5. And I've been a longtime Olympus user ( since the E1)

So, now that the GH5 has been out for over a month, what is the verdict from the early adopters? I have heard so many mixed reviews and have seen a lot of videos from people saying they are returning their GH5, I am curious to know from the EOS HD community. BH has even had a half dozen used GH5s for sale and they are still selling it for preorder? It's actually rather strange that one of the biggest camera stores in the world hasn't gotten any GH5s in stock, but that's neither here nor there.
Part of me wants to buy one and the other part says... meh ML Raw looks way better. If the GH5 was selling for $1500 or $1600, I probably would buy one, but at $2000... I'm not so sure, even though I have an upcoming short that it would be perfect for.
Well it depends really...
I've watched hundreds of YouTube videos but most of them aren't good apart from the likes of Neumannfilms or setup videos.
I have the GH5 and I think it's the best m4/3 and one of the best hybrids. Is it great a blogging? Probably not as AF is the most important part ( and not IQ). But if you like more the documentary style it's amazing. Versatile, small, lots of functions and feature, great IQ and excellent handling.
Also in stills it's a great camera. I used the GH4 before and it sucked in stills due to the horrible AF. Now the GH5 is a relief, nearly as good as the EM1 MKII and with the 300mm F4 you're now able to successful catch birds in flight. Also the 6k Photo mode is very useful.
And one of the most underrated points of the GH5 is the heavily improved image quality and colors.
So, I really like the GH5 - it's a massive improvement from the GH4 in stills and movie.

Adobe Rant

Well, I know with Adobe its a sensitive Topic but what about..... Final Cut Pro X (and Color Finale)?
(ok haven't done 10Bit edits so far with my GH5)

Nope. For Photography a swivel screen isn’t aus useful as a tilt. A Tilt acts as a tunnel viewfinder and that is freakingly useful.
Video is differently. But as I’m not blogging I’m happy with the S1!
