I think that's being unreasonable. For the buck, they are already giving WAY more than anyone else.  
 
I doubt that. They are happy offering ProRes or whatever else by the HDMI out. If Panasonic feels the heat (which nobody would really deny) they may reduce prices of their GH line. Other manufacturers may not really feel the pinch, because a lot of those don't really make the cut due to the 10-bit 4-2-2 mandate Netflix and other VoD and Broadcasters, and the limited recording times on those cameras are also a huge let down. I am guessing sales of the A7s series will be hit, because it too does good low light (much better), and it too has limited functionaliy as a photo shooting stills camera. 
Therefore, in essence, the BMPCCii has targetted the GH5 and GH5s' customers.
Curiously having RAW via HDMI won't solve the problem. The Price Difference is too great.

Well if you're going to bring facts into it !
My mistake.

I think you are completely disregarding the fact Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web for precisely that though.
We live for the let down and the entitlement fuelled ranting
 

I'm wondering if you can have a baked in LUT on the HDMI output whilst simultaneously recording RAW without one?
It offers some interesting possibilities if you can....

Trust me, I have my hands on some ProRes and DNG materials from the camera (acquired from NAB), it's clean af up to about 6400. Noise pattern is very pleasant fine grain, due to lack of compression obviously. The sensor is confirmed to be IMX294CJK, it's the STARVIS line from Sony Semicon with BSI design, originally intended for low light surveillance.

If it does RAW over USB C at same time as ProRes to card... That would be an easy solution.
I have a feeling one might switch off though, otherwise it becomes a Pocket grenade.

I do hope Blackmagic have already bought up a boatload of the sensors.
I can just see Panasonic getting on the phone to Sony this morning and saying "You know that IMX294CJK sensor that we buy off you for our GH5 cameras? How many have you got?....Right, we're on our way there now....We'll take the lot"

I don't think they are mutually exclusive either.
Its more the GH5s that has the problem as far as I can see.
Prices of a used GH5 are currently dipping below £1.2k and will be further deflated by the time the Pocket 4K  actually arrives to be more or less a flat £1k.
If you add in the value of the full version of Resolve then that means you could have a GH5 AND the Pocket 4K with Resolve for pretty much the same price as the GH5s and Resolve.
In that scenario, where I could have the best of both worlds in terms of a highly featured and capable all rounder AND a cinema oriented one for the same total price (especially as they share a common lens system) then I'd really struggle to choose the GH5s over that.
 

Thursday is D-Day for Operation Cheap Screen so I'll let you know.
If it doesn't explode as soon as I plug it in.

I'm not one for hyperbole as a rule but this camera has just completely and utterly re-defined the market.
The value of my camera collection has just sprung a major leak !

If you are dead set on ditching the GH5, I'd cash it out as soon as you can and get a cheap 2nd hand G7 and review again when the Pocket comes out.
The G7 will tide you over nicely and keep you in MFT so you can keep your glass as a hedge for if you go for the Pocket.
If you decide against the pocket you won't have lost hardly anything re-selling the G7.
Especially if you buy it in the UK and sell it in Alicante !

If you’re at NAB, you should walk by the Z-Cam booth... you’ll probably find a Z-Cam E2 prototype in the trash.

Yeah, looks like Tech.
V-Tech to be precise

They should definitely have called it The Pocketti !
It sounds like some sort masterpiece of industrial design sculpted by Pininfarina for the gentleman filmmaker of the late 60s.
