The face detect AF is just as good as the GH5 too

I save the file locally and drag it onto the bottom of the reply.
Not sure how you do it if its hosted elsewhere though.

Yea very sweet footage. I like how you use JLog.  Hey how do you post the video and pictures in this forum? Every time I try I only place he links. 

Am loving what you're getting from the LS300. I really think I'd rather have it than a GH5.
Btw, your XT20 suggestion is interesting. I saw some nice videos online. 

Used the LS300 in anger a bit more at yesterday's job doing some quick pre-match build up stuff.
Really hard contrasty light and I haven't tested enough to know how much can be pulled up if you ETTR and so as I was in a rush many, many highlights were harmed in the making of it!
Cinema 2K, JLOG and Contax Zeiss 24-80 
 

I think JVC has the potential to change the game for the mid priced market if they do it right. Currently they are big in the ENG field, which is their bread and butter, but with the release of their GYLS300 they have brought to market an affordable "enthusiasts" cinema camera. So just like Sony, in the beginning they weren't taking serious, now look at them now. 
 

Not bad at all!
 
 
 
The last one mixed with Phantom footage for aerials.

Steady on.
It will be dull test footage all the way.
I'm even thinking of buying a cat specifically for this purpose.
Currently browsing for a PL adapter and might even go mad and pick up an old B4 lens as I'm determined that the much vaunted flexibility of this camera that I've got myself so keen on is going to be taken to the limit by attaching any tubular object that has glass at either end of it!
 
This guy sets the bar pretty high though when it comes to mounting B4 lenses on MFT mount cameras.
 

Yes they are very committed to this camera which brings a sense of security and it shows they stand behind their products! If nothing significant is highlighted at NAB, then I'll buy another LS300. 

Well, well, well...
I have just managed to buy an absolutely mint condition used LS300 for just under £2K and will take delivery of it next week. 
I'm mildly excited at this development.

@Arikhan Wish it did!! We can't ask the world for such a cheap camcorder!
Kudos to JVC thought, they are really trying, I wish they have a new offering in NAB in the 5000euros price range, which interests me most.

@Arikhan Where it says internally?
"Version 4.0 provides 4:2:2 (8-bit) 4K recording at 24/25/30p onboard to SDXC media cards."
"The GY-LS300CH will also now have the capability to output Ultra HD at 60/50p via its HDMI 2.0b port. Through JVC’s partnership with Atomos, the GY-LS300CH will operate seamlessly with the new Ninja Inferno and Shogun Inferno monitor recorders, triggering recording from the camera’s start/stop operation. Plus, when the camera is set to J-Log1 gamma recording mode, the Atomos units will record the HDR footage and display it on their integrated, seven-inch monitors."

I've just got the Atomos Ninja Inferno as the first part of the equation before I got the LS300 to go with it but I was holding out until after NAB to be certain.
I suspect with the recently announced updates for the LS300 that it will very much remain a current camera and that this new one will sit above it in the range so might not be for me anyway. 
If it creates enough buzz though it might give the LS300 a shot in the arm as well to create awareness that JVC is a viable alternative to the usual suspects if you need something flexible.

The mount could have been a bit sturdier imo. And the ND wheel could have been a stepped switch instead. Startup wasnt super fast if I remember correctly.

To be fare, like all cameras including the fs5 there are some negatives that one should identify to be able to work around them.
But when you do you get a hell of bang for the buck.

Ive always worked fulltime for companies or governmental agencies. Any freelance Ive done has always been for the fun of it.
All my stuff and the YouTube have been for personal projects and to keep my shooting and technical "know how" up to speed. Ive never "needed" to use personal gear for work. Even if I sometimes have because it was good stuff
I will still have a camera for stills and what not. But lately I haven't owned any good video shooter since they arent very good with stills. An xt2 would be nice but the xt1 is just far to affordable.
Any who, went a bit OT there.
If anyone is thinking about the LS300 all I can say is that its a great camera.

They should re-house it in an awkward box and they will make a mint.

Its been a very long time ago but i produced over 100 30 min TV show episodes with one 3 chip JVC camera and never had a problem with it. Then i moved into Sony DV and DVCPro doing over 100 more shows with that before getting a bum deal on a show i was working on and i sold everything and got of of video and went in to Photography full time for 15 years. Getting back into video i love what is available now and what can be done so easy now.

Agree. 
But I did shoot around 3 paid gigs with the GH4 - nothing special at all. I concluded that need a I better image in this price range. A6500, original A7S, NX1, Nikon D750, EM ii, Canon Mark iii... these images impress the people you are filming. It usually looks better than what they are used to seeing (if you choose the right environment, style and grade for each). You have to battle with the GH4 footage to get the same results in post under most circumstances, except sit down, well lit interviews. But the others can impress with native profiles and native lenses.
The GH5 image looks great, compared to the GH4 - but in my view its not demolishing the others regarding breathtaking shots I consistently see with a camera search on vimeo narrowed to the last 30 days. NOTE - some shots are stunning, especially portrait/close ups w. bokeh
However, they have nailed the camcorder/dslr hybrid of 2017.
I would love to see an image comparison test with the DVX200 4K (similar price considering add-ons, lenses) to see if we are finally ready to admit we want camcorders back.

This is some great recent footage with this sleeping beastly technology. Imagine the potential once this update comes.

The first of these videos were internal recordings. I do not thing that this camera has 10bit capabilities at all, as it isn't just a firmware/software thingy.
At one point (soon), I assume we all be needing 10bit, TV industry pushes it slightly for now.

Honestly, Mattias' LS300 footage is better than anything I have seen from the GH5. With this update, this camera is epic. I don't love the form factor and I have no intention of buying one, but it really is unmatched at this price point.

Yes I totally agree that this is a package that is hard to beat. It already was competition for the FS5 but now it is up there with the FS7 for a fraction of the cost and the IQ is excellent!
