I wouldn't hold your breath on 10bit

Use zoom lenses - your clients won't be able to tell the difference

Cant go wrong with a Gh5 + Zoom! I use the sigma 18-35 but the Pana 12-35 is significantly smaller and lighter.

While I agree with you, its still significantly better than I Sony's I previously shot with!

Hello. 
I'll maker this short but informative. 
Firstly, I sold my FS5 Raw setup - took a big risk, got a GH5 to replace it. The reason was mostly down to portability. 
Recently shot an entire paid music video with the GH5 and some stuff on the A6500. I'd never used the GH5 before - it practically just came out the box. Shot in Vlog L. Had an awesome experience. 
 
Main Pros
IBIS. Much better than the A6500. Invaluable.  Speedbooster XL gives a very different look to typical M43. Sigma ART's + XL = win!  1080p 10bit modes are fantastic. Made the A6500 in 1080p look fuzzy and blurry.  Body design is one of the best I've experienced. Battery grip definitely gives a steadier feel to handling and definitely gives a higher impression to the client. Big impact. VlogL is fairly easy to get into (coming from Slog). Colours are accurate and lovely when graded.  Custom white balance is very quick and easy.  Menu system is pretty nice, especially the My Menu bit. Way better than the A6500.  Small and powerful enough to put straight onto the Zhiyun Crane and Edelkrone Motion Kit.  Battery life is decent (but nowhere near as good as the GH3 - which was ridiculous).  EVF nice and large. Again much better than the A6500.  Full Size HDMI. Yep. Main Cons (I'm being picky here)
CineD skintones - finding it hard to get it where I want. Looks very odd off the bat. I need to work more on this as V-log isn't always the best profile to use.  Photo Style options are very lean (compared to Sony). Not a massive deal, but would be nice to have more options.  Autofocus is essential for my gimbal stuff. A6500 is excellent here. GH5 before V2 firmware is not. Hopefully this is reliable now.  Dynamic range is a bit less and steeper in the rolloff than what I'm used to. Again, need to mess round with things to get it smoother in the grade.  I think the record button is in the wrong place. I just use the shutter button anyway.   
Overall
An absolutely outstanding piece of kit. 
I've only used the camera for one shoot, but using this camera has already made a big impression and is already serving my creative choices to a greater level than the FS5 did.
I've not updated the firmware yet, but what Panasonic have give us is an incredibly valuable tool with almost very single feature you could ever ask for, or actually need.
With a great emphasis on online video distribution, and video being consumed on smart devices - if that's how you're playing it, I would say you would never need another camera for a very long time. 
If the Autofocus is reliable in V2, it would relegate my A6500 to just a carry around camera. 
Got to say, I'm incredibly pleased and looking forward to shooting more.

Yeah works perfect, that's what I'm using

I've used the 35,50 and 85 and have found them all to give a ugly image.  - Would not recommend. Sold them for the sigma zooms.

Its worth looking at London Camera Exchange for cheap used GH5s I got mine for 1299 like new

Thanks, @JordanWright. Appreciate it 

Really great looking stuff here

The SLR Magic 1.33 40 Compact looked like the one to me but the price differential between Europe and the states for it is ridiculous.
£699 isn't outlandish really but compared to the $499 it is at B&H then it is an absolute piss take.

Thanks for the test, it holds colour quite nicely at high isos
